Title: New Candy White GTI 30 Owner Soon
Post by: Mad_Monk on 06 September 2007, 13:09: Hi all,

Just thought I would drop a note to say hi to everyone. I will be the owner of a Candy white GTI 30 sometime in October I hope. I ordered the car at the end of July and was told 12 weeks so fingers crossed. I recently sold my beloved Lotus Elise S2 Type 72 JPS and am currently driving round in an old Rover 416 I picked up off ebay for Ã‚£280. To say I am counting the weeks is an understatement.

I also saw a white Ed 30 driving into Edinburgh today coming from the Forth Road bridge and it looked really good. I went for black personally but each to their own :smiley:

Welcome to the site!

On the isue of the Rover's, I too had a Rover 216 SLI in between my MkIII Anni and my MkIV Anni, although that was about 5 years ago!!

Weird !

Post by: Makaveli on 06 September 2007, 16:28: I am just about to sell my Audi S3 to fund the Ed 30 so do you suggest I buy a Rover to tide me over :wink:

Hopefully will find a buyer wanting to do a deal on the day I get my Ed 30 - fingers well and truely crossed!

Post by: Mad_Monk on 06 September 2007, 16:49: I simply went with my gut reaction on the colour of the car. My Lotus was black so knew i wanted a change of colour then I saw a picture of a white one and loved the look of it as soon as I saw it.

I have never owned a golf GTI before and actually have not driven a edition 30 yet, they only had standard GTI's to test drive so I hope I wont be dissapointed

Not sure - I think they are cr8p and I'd never buy one even as a runabout. I usually go for a mk2 gti pref 16v :tongue:
