First thing to do in GTI
« on: 30 July 2010, 10:00 »
Sup all,

I get my Mk 5 GTI today (if the money goes through). Excitied  :laugh:

But wondering what to do first; chill drive, drive fast or just go for a long random drive and see where the roads take me!

well, sounds to me like you just wanna get it and thrash the knackers off it like what chav saxo drivers do.

when gettin a new car, never rag it others wise your new car will be your old wrecked car within a few days. As said get to know the car as it will handle different to what your used to.

lol, yeah i think a nice long EASY drive will be the plan.

I got a saxo as well but i have never (couple times over the years maybe) ripped it and looked after it loads (5k services etc). I am hoping after a few weeks with the GTI i will be able to bring myself to put it up for sale!!

leaving to get GTI in 40mins  :grin:

will let you all know how it goes!!!

The MK5 GTI is in a different universe to the Saxo, your going to love it and stick the Frenchy up for sale the second you get home.
