So what are the best areas to check out to get me used to my lil' Mk 3 beastie....?
Title: Re:Newbie member
Post by: jte on 15 April 2004, 13:39
Erm, try the MK3 section ;D

Ignore all the banter about 8vs being slow.  It's just jokes and p!ss taking.

The Mark 3 section is a good place to call "home", but the every other section has valuable advice and plenty of good ideas. you can also use the links up top or on the front page to check out the gallery, events calander, or even a real time chat room, that is usually occupied in the evenings more. But most importantly, get yourself into the gear link (top of page) to get the all important stickers and t-shirts

i agree with black gti (very rare occurance).  what do u use the car for, if you have a family then i can understand the need for the extra doors.  :)

what are your future intentions for it - id like to see it lower with a nice set of rims. :P

other than that it looks a very nice tidy car - happy dubbing! :)

If you intend to go round any corners, i think we established that the 5 door shell is much less flexible! ;D

No I just like to have my own opinion.

Theres enough sheep up here without me being one and copying everything people say so I dont sound out of place to the majority.
