1 year of ownership
« on: 20 May 2009, 18:11 »
So I've had my car 1 year today  :smiley:
This is what it looked like a couple days after I got it

















Here it is after 32,000 miles, 4 services, 3 sets of tyres, quite a few repairs and a couple mods

















I hope it lasts another year  :cool:

I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

32k in a year... Crikey!  Looks nice and loving the subtle mods.  Pretty much what I plan doing visually!

I guess right now I'm where you were 12 months ago, out to look at some GTi's this weekend.  Hopefully able to make a decision and have something by early next.  Better be as I'm car-less after tomorrow!
