Photos at last!
« on: 16 August 2006, 09:35 »
Finally got myself sorted out with a Photobucket account, so here's a few photos of my new Golf (plus a photo of one of its predecessors). 

The Golf may not have the performance of the Evo 6 but it's still quick and certainly a lot easier to live with!

Nice Golf - nice job.

Prob won't come a surprise but I used to have a ralliart Evo 6 - awesome car but boy do they know how to charge for parts and labour - prob the dearest running costs of any car I've had  :shocked:

96 YES 96 miles to a full tank in attack mode!

Your right with that one golfpro, the DSG looks like a normal auto stick.  :smiley:

You're right Golfpro; it's the 6 speed manual box.  Nice smooth change; very happy with it. :smiley:   Extras are the 18" wheels, leather interior and 6 disc in-dash autochanger.  You'll also have noted the Road Angel Compact, which I bought after being nicked by a camera (the notorious "30mph for no reason in the middle of nowhere" one at the Crowood Hotel outside Glasgow) at 2.00 am coming back from holiday last year :angry:.  Essential bit of kit these days!

I know exactly what you mean about the running costs of the Evo, Doc with 18 mpg and the 4,500/6 month service intervals but the performance/handling was awesome for the money.  I enjoyed mine a lot but the Golf is better built, more practical and doesn't loosen your fillings round town!

Hi Scotty

I live up North in Aberdeen and I know a lot of people that have been caught by that same camera as, at night and when you don't know the area, it doesn't even seem built up! :angry: 

When the camera went I knew I was doing around 60mph and thought I must have been in a 50 or, at worst, 40 limit.  Got a real shock when the NIP arrived and it was 56mph in a 30! :sick:  I was happy to get only a fixed penalty and 3 points; could have been much worse........
