That was me!  :smiley:
Saw the Mk3 and thought I'd park next to you. I've only owned it about 3 weeks, loving it  :cool:

Been lurking on here and searching for a few bits of information and have been thinking about registering. Now seems like as good a time as any.

Light blue/grey?

Nope, mines Indian Red but I think I know the one you mean, the bloke that owns it works opposite me! I bought mine from MK, up near Oxley Park.

Yeah thats my mates I was referring to. You work in MK then?

I know the car now I have seen the pics, was being built on his drive for ages, ended up on eBay didnt it?

Heading down the A509 from Wellingborough to MK on Friday I passed a Dragon Green estate with a GTI badge on the front.  Looked to be lowered as well.  Presumably heading for BugJam, was well smart, anyone's here?

I saw this at Bug Jam and it was a real nice bit of kit.

Nah, I work in Leighton Buzzard.
Yeah. I run an extreme unicycle display team and was looking for an estate to carry all our gear around in. I was originally looking at getting a BMW but this came up and I was getting a bit desperate. It looked a bit of a shed from the ebay photos but when I went and took a look it wasn't as bad. I used to have a mk2 Polo saloon and loved it, so it feels good to be rollin' in a low dub again :)
