Great to see you back Doc,

Where are your mods going to start then? Looks quite well spec'ed maybe Sat-Nav or parking sensors?
Your how-to's were great.

Your right!

Park sensors first!

I only bought it coz it was VERY cheap  :shocked:

Hey Doc.

Great to see you are back again. (I did state you would be back)
Great looking car and I wish i could see a chipped Caddy :laugh:

Anything on the way for you? GTI? R32? Ed 30?
I do remember you said in a previous post something to do with a GTI... :rolleyes:

Im supposed to be collecting an RS4 next week  :wink:

The cheap GTI fell through but I picked this GT up for 15k!

I'll make a video of the DSG Caddy doing it's thing and post it - its funny as hell when you blow quick (NOT FAST) cars away!

great to see you back doc, and back in a golf (albeit a gt - nice!)  Must be looking forward to the RS4 you lucky sod!  Seems like you had that range rover sport for a while - any good?

The sport was crap mate so I sold it and bought a Range rover TDV8 Vogue - well better - a propper car - just need my broker to sell it for me and I can get the Audi  :wink:

I wish  :wink:

How you doing Ill?

Not bad at all although the 300 mile commute to Bracknell from Ipswich in my Mk2 16v is getting a bit tiring.  I have a Corrado VR6 but want to keep the mileage low - around 82k - as I am selling it soon.  My missus has a Lupo GTI and my 2nd Edition 30 - with DSG this time - is due in October... I sold the last one to get my house and invest the money.  One of my colleagues at worked pointed out that instead of buying a Golf GTI for £28k I could do better and get a very decent Porsche 911 and sell it in a years time with little depriciation...  That got my attention - well not the don't buy the GTI bit... that just went in one ear and straight out the other  :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:   So I have plans for the next couple of years that involve a Porsche 911 and a Ferarri F355  :drool:  The Ferrari F355 because it got me thinking about what else I could get for roughly similar money give or take £7k  :rolleyes:.

Nice plan F355 is a monster to run £ wise but is good fun!

911 - depreciation proof motoring IMHO  :wink:

Hi Everyone! This is slightly off topic but I was wondering if I could retro fit the later GT front grille (after seeing the Docs lovely purchase) to my 2004 GT TDI (Mk5)??

thanks!
