You need to copy the IMG code and paste it into your post mate so the picture will show in here rather than everyone having to go to your photobucket link. :wink:


Nice car though. :cool:

I'll just add in this thread... great looking cars. I like both the Scirocco and the Edition 35.

In fact, as time passes, I reckon the Scirocco is beginning to look even better. When it first came out I really didn't like it. The front was ok but the rear just looked like someone had sat on it. I actually quite like it now.

Very nice! Great minds think alike! I too had a CW GT Scirocco, which do you prefer? Mine is definately the Golf for comfort and drive but I dont think you can beat the curves of the Rocco.

The ride and practicality of the Golf is much better. I found the Roc a bit fidgety on the B roads. The Golf is a better all rounder.....  :smiley:

I do like the rocco's, but impractical for me.
The thing that impresses me is the exposure on the rocco pic using the Iphone4, compared to the rest using the Fuji FinePix J15fd, the contrast is quite lacking  :laugh:

good to see another scirocco owner has seen the light, love the cw but my sh"tty for the city is white and keeps me busy

i'll take the Golf all day long over my old Scirocco, its way more planted (agree the back is fidgety) and feels more special from the drivers seat and i like being a bit more understated

Old

Congrats on the ED35, very nice hope you have many miles of fun.

I like Rocco's too but I need the practicality of the Golf.

Sorry but A1 =  :sick:

The Mrs drives the A1 I wasn't buying another Mini and I got a good deal on something that will have a strong residual. The economy it has will make up for lack of it. I am a VW nut having had MK2, MK3, MK4, MK5 and MK6 GTI,s, 16V, VR6 and a Golf R. I ran a Corrado G60 for a while also. Every now and again I buy something different but always come back to VW...

I'll take the scirocco off your hands, don't want it cluttering up your driveway  :laugh:

Why on earth did you sell the golf R for an Ed35.. :shocked:
Title: Re: Out with the old in with the new
Post by: Damo66 on 29 April 2012, 19:59
Sold the R a year ago. I bought it March 2010 and sold it last April when I was offered money I couldn't refuse. The Roc was traded for the 35 and in between the R and Roc I had  6 months with a GTD I bought to keep me going as said before I am a VW nut. I will see how I get on with the 35 but have told my dealer I already want a MK7 GTI when they come out. Mad I am.....  :evil:

No not paid to much, I went mad when I bought the R, and when I could get out of it I let it go. The 35 I got 2K of list as my dealer looks after me, not bad I think, and my Roc lost 2K in 8 months of ownership, all in all I have lost 3k in the last year as both the GTD and Roc where used.. I will see how the 35 goes but I could sell after 6 months as I have another car to keep me going....
