Title: I've Returned To The Fold...
Post by: martininwillerby on 25 May 2011, 23:17
Hi All...

Just to Hi...
I've returned to the fold after been away for 2yrs...
I had a mk5 Golf GTI which I traded in for an Audi A4 TFSI Quattro 2 years ago, but that didn't last long before I returned it to Audi because of what I saw as a faulty S Tronic gear box.
I then got into a Audi A5 TDI Quattro which I had up until today. Great car but not so practical been a 2 door and 4 seater. Whilst It was at the Audi dealer last week I took a walk down to the VW garage.
Where I saw the car I have now and loved it... At first they were a million miles away to change but I left them to think about it and the turn up trumps....
I'm now the proud owner of a VW Golf GTD DSG 5 Door in white, it has 18" Charleston Shadow wheels, RCD 510 6 disc touch screen radio with DAB and bluetooth, Park Assist incl front n rear sensors, full leather with winter pack.
I've bought some rubber mats front and back and rubber mud flaps front and back as well as a boot liner. black (trade mark) fury dice, stainless steel /carbon tax disc holder and I've fitted my 160GB iPod classic...

Welcome Martin

Looks a very nice car (for a diseasal)  :wink: just joking.  I like the wheels very much, are they polished like the Monza Shadows?

Hope you are both very happy together and that she lasts longer than the Audi.  :grin:

Welcome back to the world of Golfs Martin.  :smiley:

I've never really got the idea of A5's, why have a bloody great big long car and only have two doors? I mean if you need a two door car 'cos you don't have kids or old ladies to ferry about, why not either buy a small car or a sports car (or both)? And if you're fat and middle aged and want to appear to be successful then you buy a big 4 door saloon car to show off down the Golf club with.
A5's do look quite nice though, I had a quick look at one in the Audi dealer the other day, an S5 or something. Then I had a look at an A1 because I've never seen one before (nice black S Line car) and then I made a bee line for the R8. I like R8's. It wouldn't fit in my piddly garage even if I could have afforded one!

I digress.

Your GTD looks to be rather fine example.

In fact I'd go so far as to say I want to marry your Charleston Shadows.....

I am awaiting a similiar spec GTD in Tornado Red.  Due August.  Is the aerial for the bluetooth now in the rear screen as opposed to the roof fin aerial?

It looks a very nice set up - the shadows look better with CW than they did with my metallic back Golf



PS Asker - you posts get more risqué each day -  :shocked:

Not sure on that one. I think the shark fin is fitted when you have the Sat Nav option, but not sure for defo.

I think they really set the car off IMO
