Reckon that specific model will still mod nicely? I'll HAVE to re-map it :)

Guys, I went to look at it, and it looks completely legit!  The car's been serviced every single year, so mileage proved.  The last service way July 07 when it had a new cam belt and 4 new tyres put into it!!

I just bought it!  :laugh:  I didn't haggle on price because it was plainly obvious it was going to sell, and he's MOT'ing it for me for free.

£400 deposit, then the rest when I pick it up when my loan comes through and I've sorted insurance out.

I did indeed.  I had a lot of trouble not accidentally slipping and shooting up to 40 or 50mph, it just has so much power on it.

So hopefully I'm a full member of the GTi club now  :wink:
