Title: How much has this forum cost you?
Post by: FroGTI on 17 June 2010, 11:18
I reckon about £2500 so far, what with my wheels, rear LEDs, RNS510, boot compartment, mats, Revo remap, expensive Carnuba wax from the US, various bulbs, etc.

I'm not saying I wouldn't have done any mods without you lot egging me on, but when you all start posting pix of the latest gadgets, it gets me going and after thinking about it for a couple of hours, I can't resist and go for it.

I wouldn't know half these toys existed if I didn't log onto this site, so yeah, actually, it is all your fault, yer b@stards! :grin:

Reason I joined the forum in the first place was to get some info as I was torn between the GTI and the GTD. So I guess it cost me about £9400 extra, but I don't regret it at all. Thanks  :laugh:

Good men Steve and Nick. You got your priorities spot on. I divorced mine before I totally indulged in my passions for all things mechanical and electrical! :laugh:

Other than the options I specced when I bought the car it has probably cost me a further £1500 to retrofit LEDs and RNS510 a dog guard, a boot buddy to protect the boot floor, back of seat and sidewalls of the boot from glorious dog hair :grin:.

This is what makes us all unique as GTI owners in that not one car is exactly the same as someone elses, we've all made little differences here  and there.

Car forum is not only bad for your wallet, it makes your OCD worst.
I now snowfoam + apply quickdetailer on my car every weekend. I had now got a polisher and had been using it to apply srp on my cars!
My neighbours favourite comment when they bump into me on my drive
Will you do my car next?

I am on the verge of a nervous breakdown everytime I have to use the roads with other cars around me and even more so as to where I park. I am building a big bed to sleep with Wolfgang and keep him safe! :sick:

I can see what looks like a scratch on the side of your car in your signature picture, towards the rear. Look carefully.

Its cost me a lot of money in cleaning products.
But its showed me now common white golfs are  :tongue:
Its probably going to cost me a couple of grand this year.
Its also shown me mines not the only rattling barge.
Its also give me a support blanked in the ordering to delivery process. Without the support i would not have a mk6 GTI and a still on going case with VW.

Funny many years ago i was a member here and i managed to detox i may need to do it go  :grin:
