Wow Nice choice Alex 8) the mk5 Golf GTI is a stunning car so i'm sure your going to enjoy it

Nice to see Greg will be tackling the GTI too, I bet he's just waiting for the insurance to come down now?

Get some more pics up of the golf when you get chance :)

Aye itll be good. I quite like the 5 door variety - find theres too much empty bodywork on the 3 doors due to the size of the car lol

Indeed waiting till he's 19 :)

So is he paying the value for next year? Lol.

How does it feel moving to a golf? Looks like your car has gained weight, lol.

Its going to be worth the wait for Greg though, the step up from a 1.0 to a 1.6 135bhp GTI will be very nice indeed 8)

Golf looks class, I would have gone for the 5 door too.
Its a big hatchback at the end of the day and they just dont look right in 3 door IMO, plus as you quite rightly said the 5 door is far more practical

Now that is a secret :P lets just say enough!

Insurance is ok for me, but I have 4 years no claims so that makes a world of difference

Phew, big news indeed bro.

As said on FB, lovely looking car! That's gotta be about 18Ks worth of VAG Slag right there! 8) :lol:

Amazing news that Gregg is taking on the Polo also.

Shame about the Genesis, how much she going for?
