Soon To Be MK6 GTI Owner
« on: 24 March 2014, 11:40 »
Hello!

I made the downpayment for a '60 MK6 GTI (DSG, Sat Nav, Leather, Tornado Red) on Saturday which I will be collecting this weekend.  Coming from a 1.6 petrol C30, so quite the upgrade and needless to say I'm very excited!  This has been the longest Monday morning in memory, so doesn't bode well for the rest of the week.  I'm sure it will be well worth the wait  :smiley:

Nice, I just got my 11 GTi DSG in Red with Sat Nav and leather a couple of weeks back and can't see the excitement wearing off ever! Enjoy it when you get it and be sure to get those pics up :)

Tomorrow is D-Day  :laugh:

I can't remember the last time I felt this giddy.  Longest week of my life.

Just spent close to £100 on detailing products in preparation.

Just posted a reply to you in the detailing section :)

Hope all went well today and you're enjoying the new car (pics when you get a chance  :tongue:). A mate of mine has a diesel C30 and they're a nice car for sure, but not a patch on our GTIs  :laugh:

I've just seen. Thanks for the tips. Yes they are the 18" monzas so will look to invest in some decent protection for the wheels.

I got the car today and I'm still buzzing!  Absolutely over the moon with it, particularly as it's such a step up. Can't wait yo get out again tomorrow. 

Hoping to get a few pics tomorrow so I'll post them here when I do.
