Hi Guys

Traded in my rs4 b5 for a golf mk 7 ed40 at the end of january. 1500 miles in and i am very impressed with the golf so far. I also own a mk1 golf which is my track car so will be interesting to see how the ed40 performs on track. Will post some pics up soon.

Cheers Lee.

It was a hard decision. But after 71/2 years of ownership and a large amount of money spent on keeping the car on the road the decision was made to get a more modern car. I don't do a lot of miles a year maybe 5000 and the cost of running the rs4 vs mileage done wasn't working out for me. Although it was a serious beast runnning 465bhp and would put a smile on your face every time you floored it. So basically down to cost. 

Like i said really impressed with the golf so far feels quick enough goes round corners alot better than the audi. And can do the occasinal track day in it aswell.
