Sorry to hear of your woes Steve  :sad:

I think the whole mk6 section has been in anti-climax for quite some time whilst those of us that own them have been getting on with their 'real' lives and we've been sat in expectation waiting for the mk7 details before a lot of us commit to further things.

I've been pretty absent from the forum for quite a while and gradually easing back. There were things that happened on here that didn't sit with me very well and funnily enough whilst I had my silver mk6 with a basic spec that I added and changed bits on it kept me interested and there was plenty of great banter on here to keep it all flowing. Then I bought my much higher spec grey car and generally lost all interest in it all!!
Lots of stuff went on in my 'real' life afterwards culminating in my dad being in a coma for three months and me travelling up and down the motorway most days to sit and talk to myself at his bedside. Not exactly an inspiring existence doing that around working 11 hour night shifts.
Thankfully my dad is on the mend slowly and I'm gradually getting back into GTIs again, plus the forum seems to be livening up again.

Currently deciding on either a mk7 or a house move. Odd mix but that's how it is!!

Winter blues happens every year around this place. Normally coincides with the show season ending

Equally there are some right gumpy fcukers on here so sometimes it seems like a year round thing  :grin: :grin:

Real life is far more important; internet can be a good escape (sometimes)

Hey Mk6 fellas.

Don't get a grump on, it's spring after all! And GTi Fest is a mere 2 weeks away, come and get your fix!

Glad to hear things are on the mend Exonian, never nice to hear of close family being ill.

Also if anyone minds me being in here, get knotted. I've had 3x Mk2's so that makes 6!
