Just bought a mark III GTI 16v.
« on: 28 February 2009, 20:13 »
Hello there boys and girls.

I've just gone from Land Rover Discovery to Mark III GTI 16v.

 Don't commute through snow any more, so i've bought this as a little stop-gap. I'm 30, am I having an early mid life crisis or is this normal behaviour? My missus thinks the former. I got a bit cringey about the whole GTI thing, but something told me to buy it anyway. Never been a car sort of person. Bikes are my toys really (zrx1100 and fzr400).

Anyhow, just saying hello as no doubt i'll be picking your brains in the near future. You never know, I might be here for ages.

Car has 140,000 miles, anyone with experience of things I should be looking out for?
