now you've made the 'leap' you won't look back; I've had Vauxhalls, Fords, Peugeots, Citroens and wouldn't have anything other than a VAG car now - I LOVE my Golf!

Colt looked tidy.. My missus always wanted one of those as her first car, silly girl got a KA instead.  :sick:

Golf looks like a great car to play with, even if you don't do anything for a while I'm sure you'll enjoy it just as it is.

Cheers Dude, there both sitting in the drive way :grin: Loving the fact Iv got 2 of my favourite styled cars sitting there :cool: although I think im going to break the Colt :cry: to free up a 1k or so to plow into the dub!! Not going to Lie, I do miss the handling from the colt and how that engine loved to rev :shocked: but I guess thats been replaced with Torque and boost  :laugh:

Cheers for the welcome everyone seems like a very friendly and helpfull Club, Il be sure to get a project up and running soon
