Evening All,
New member here having owned this mk7 DSG for just under a week. Bought the car to replace my Macan Diesel which was getting in a bit and the price of diesel had made a little to silly to run.
Brief was something fun and easy and the golf fitted the bill. I really like it so far and in some ways it reminds my 205 GTi in the way it turns in and can be rotated slightly on lift off.
Like a good forum for resource and help with the odd mod or maintainance. I am however looking for a good specialist in Kent near West Malling as this is my first VW and I'd like someone I can trust.
Looking forward to getting involved more.
The golf will be heading to the dolomites in August and if my Nurburgring or Spa trackdays look wet I may use it as well as I'm sure it'll be more suited than my other car! Can't wait to get to know it!
Other car for reference - quite different to the golf...

Welcome to the forum @Joehow88. Hope you enjoy your GTI.
I could see your ‘other car’ hiding in your garage behind the wheelie bins before I got to the second picture :grin:. A nice car to have when you want some car fun!

Yeah it's great but I'd say the golf is quicker down a good British B road. The GT3 has way too many cup car parts so is a bit compromised shall we say on anything but smooth roads and race tracks

Welcome Joehow :smiley:
Two fine cars that between them cover all bases I’d say!
You certainly seem to enjoy your motoring to the full by the looks of it :cool:

Thanks guys! Really enjoying it.
Had to replace the coolant bottle this week as the sensor had gone but otherwise it seems a good un. Gonna get some paint bits sorted next
