Title: Howdee from a Newie / Oldie
Post by: Rob-MK5 on 17 February 2014, 17:21
Just thought i would say a quick Hello,

I was a member on here years back active on the Mk5 section (hence the username)

Just collected a Mk6 after Christmas and really enjoying the car.

Golf Number 9 for me now, just sold a 370hp S3 i had before,

So far ive been cleaning like mad and just added the R Skirts  :cool:

Welcome back :smiley:.

How you are finding it coming from the S3, was it an 8P?

Any plans for the MK6 power wise?

Thanks guys,

The S3 was good fun, i just i think the Golf as a good all-rounder is perfect,
the S3 felt a bit heavy and harder work for an everyday car, nice in a straight line
but fat knacker plodding around.

I like how you can plod around in the Golf as normal but have a bit of fun when you want.

I guess cant compare 100% as Golf is DSG (3rd DSG GTi), although i have had previous model S3
and felt the same.

Plans power wise is in the thinking, but.........  some H&Rs and 19s will be soon   :wink:

Last 3 cars here, but at the moment i love getting in the GTi compared  :smiley:

GTI looks great, liking the side skirts.

That Scirocco looks very nice on those wheels.  :cool:

'Rocco looks great on those wheels!!!

As good as black looks I can't handle the constant maintenance to keep it looking that way, thinking of going red next

^+1. They look like BBS CH's or CH-R's. I'm not usually a fan of anthracite wheels on a black car, but they look great  :cool:
