hey i can't really... but i wanted to do something mad before old age hits me and i end up buying a 'sensible' car! :embarassed:
-
Age is just a number!
Depends what you consider old Niki?
-
well i didn't think i was that old till i went to my local VW dealer... and found myself eying up a nice golf plus.... i had to give myself a good hard slap!!! :rolleyes:
-

well after the day i've had.... i'd say i feel about 90 :cry:
-
At 32 you are just a child compared to me! :wink: :laugh:
-

:kiss: i think u pass a certain age and suddenly your seen as "ancient"... especially when all your work chums are kids... well at least i get to be the smug one now with my "cool" car :smug: :smug:
-
Take no notice Niki. When they get to 30 you can be even more smug as they run around like headless chickens worrying about getting old!
-
that's very true Len.... i look forward to that day :grin:
-
But you can already do that all knowing look as you have been there done that and worn out the T shirt! :grin:
-
That look? :smug: yeah i've got that look perfected now along with the suddenly going a bit deaf and the loss of memory!!
And the bit i like best is when i start reminicing about my youth and i suddenly get THAT look that says " i thought that was a new thing!!" :shocked:
-
memory loss eh? i'm feeling that one and i'm only...only...27? (how the years are starting to fly past!)
-
memory loss eh? i'm feeling that one and i'm only...only...27? (how the years are starting to fly past!)
yep you can say that again.... i remember begging to be 18... and suddenly i find myself planning my 40th :shocked:
a few weeks ago i went on a night out ( that says it all !)... and i found myself stood outside a bar ( slightly worse for wear ).. asking the bouncer if i needed ID!!! For some silly reason i still make sure i take some with me... maybe one day i'll get asked to show it !!
-
^ i know exactly what you mean :laugh:
-
i still get asked for ID. nernernerner :tongue:
-
i got id'd buying a prit-stick. Mind you, is was shopping at wilkinsons, i think you have to be retarded to qualify for working at that place?
-
i still get asked for ID. nernernerner :tongue:
I admit .... last time i went out i asked the bouncer to make my day and please ask me to show some ID... which he did :embarassed:
-
Hi there,
V. Nice MK5 you have there, i'm very very jealous, Steel Grey's an awesome colour.
-
i still get asked for ID. nernernerner :tongue:
Thats coz you only look 12!

thanx very much... i personally think the GTI was meant to be grey ( i'm sure many ppl will disagree with that )... it just reminds me of the originals... and in the flesh it looks even better x :kiss:
-

your probably right there lol :grin:
-
Sorry Niki that was a jibe at topher! And yes he does look young for his age!
Now I've spoiled what you thought was a compliment I'm embarrassed that I cant think of anything nice to say! My only excuse being that I'm recovering from a very heavy weekend! :embarassed:
-
no worries len... although i wish i did look about 12 !! Had a rough old weekend myself.... enjoyed it at the time but left with a bad head and an empty purse !! :sick:
-
Mine started Thursday lunchtime and finished 4am Sunday night Monday morning!
It was very messy! But I'm recovering. Just dont know how many brain cells I've killed off! :laugh:

oh what u like?... i finished work on friday for a week so mine started at 7 ish and finished last night :embarassed:
got some wine off my boss so i'm working my way through that 2 nite !!
-
That is my one really mad weekend every year! I remain quite staid and sober at other weekend events! Coz I'm a good boy really! :rolleyes: :grin:
-
oh yeah??? :rolleyes:
Actually i'm pretty well behaved myself... ( most of the time ! )... usually with me it's the times i don't plan anything that i actually end up face down in the loo :sick:
-
Yeah!
Well at my age I have to pace myself and only go mad for it in small doses! :grin:
-
i'm with ya :laugh:... so same time next year???
-
Oh yes! :wink: :laugh:
Next big one will be Bugjam. Then the E38/Action weekend.
And am hoping for an Ibiza week in between!
-
Oh yes! :wink: :laugh:

there you go... didn't think it'd be a one off!! :wink:
i'm off to turkey in july.... 2 weeks all inc. can't wait now :laugh: :laugh:
-
Yea I read that in the summer holidays thread. Never fancied Turkey myself.
Bit like Greece. I resisted going anywhere near that until last year and we had a week in Corfu. Didnt like at all. Thought it was third world.
-
yeah i've been corfu myself... several years ago and didn't like it myself. then went to kos... totally the opposite... really lovely... loved it so much that i went back 3 more times :kiss:
anyway... thought i'd give turkey a go... bit dubious at first... but everyone i've talked to has given it great reviews... so i got myself a 5* hotel in a complex... got everything even its own beach and jetty.
-
My sister in law and her daughters love Turkey, but then I dont rate their taste! :grin:
Sounds as if you are in a top place so usually it dont matter where in the world you are!
Its like we went to Dominican Republic for one of my daughtres wedding and the complex was fantastic in every way. But the country is dark ages!
-
yes heard that too... though never been myself.
one place i'd never go back to is the canary isles... very clean and fairly civilised but i just didn't like it. :sick:
-
Ah now I Looooove Tenerife! :laugh:
-
i knew even as i wrote that... many ppl swear by the isles... but i suppose the fact i went swimming whilst there and got caught off guard by an under currant.... dragged out n nearly drowning myself and some poor bloke who tried to help me... i guess that was all it took to put me off... oh and getting major sun burn !!! :embarassed:
-
Yea I have heard a lot about the currents, which is why I have never surfed there. But thats also coz I never wanted the hassle of taking my surf gear!

Welcome Niki,
Sweet motor :cool:

Welcome Niki,

thanx very much... best toy i've ever had... loving it more every day! Being new to gti's... apart from the bits n bobs n colour coding... is there much difference honestly between my gti n the ed30?
-
different engine internals and bigger turbo.. so not only quicker out of the box but much more tuning potential :cool:
-
OH YES!
Not go into it too much
Basically.....faster......better looking......more exclusive....and a better ride...the car that is :laugh:
-
oh and lower residuals if you want to be boring :nerd:
-
right thanx... so for a simple gal like myself... my gti's good enough?? :grin:
-
like i say to all the girls.. it's what you do with it that counts.
-
very true... and i don't intend to DO anything to this baby... i like it just the way those wonderful germans intended!! :wink:
it's fast enough for my liking and the growl it makes always keeps me smiling
-
right thanx... so for a simple gal like myself... my gti's good enough?? :grin:
Any GTI is good enough for me :wink:
