Lads and Lassies!!
Hi I'm Nick and i'll be honest, I stumbled across this site some 9 months ago but was pretty much too embarrased/shy (call it what you want) to post as I am pretty clueless when it comes to cars,....... but am learning fast.
I'm 36, living out here in the SE of the Netherlands so hope you don't mind the invasion. Ex military, wife is dutch you get the picture. :)
I love my car, have had it a year and through reading this fantastic site have managed to grasp some of the initial issues I've had with it and sort them out. You all come across as very helpful indeed.  :grin:
No doubt you'll see me about every now and then wanting to know the most simple of things but I'll make sure I read through other posts first,..promise :smug:
Anyway, will try to get a couple of pics up, the cars not too flashy but it looks nice.....thanks for having me!! :smiley:

Nick

Welcome along Buddy. Never be ashamed/embarrassed of your Golf Buddy as we are all here for the same reason....we all love our Golfs.  Looks nice and clean as well. Is that another one I see in the background of your picture ??

Thanks for the welcomes...... :smiley:
@MissGTI,.....how on earth did u manage to break your back window???   :rolleyes:  What a shame...
@Deano2711 ....Yes m8, well no, it is/was the wife's diesel, got rid not too long ago and she has a 1.6 petrol mk3 from 95 now...gets her from A to B but she doesn't like it when I 'tease' boy racers in their more modern cars when she's a passenger in mine, so I have to be sensible.......:P
