Title: new mk3 owner
Post by: allsmiles on 03 January 2012, 22:01

hey folks, just thought id jump in and say hi!

im alex and from burton upon trent, i bought myself a mk3 vr6 after pressure from the other halfs calls for a car with a bigger boot(expecting in february) and since i have always liked my friends mk3 vr6 i decided to buy one and decided on the mulberry highline model

my car history has been mainly french performance cars from renault 5 gt turbos to 205 gti(still own a 205 gti6) and the mk3 vr6 is my 2nd vw i have owned, the first vw i owned was a rusty silver polo cl which was on golf bbs wheels and slammed to the floor, it was good fun lol!

anyway plans for this mk3 is to maintain and tidy it up(rust here and there) and if i fall fond of it i will go down the full respray route, coilovers with some deep dish wheels

see you peeps around
