Best colour too! Nice one.
Still hate the wheels and quad exhausts though, they’re hilariously silly.

Must feel like a go kart :p

Its on ditch finders, not willing to test its limits just yet in this horrific wet weather, but its lovely to drive. Don't even know what brand of tyre they are, cannot find any branding on them they must be so bad. However the grip in the wet and the fact you can just launch the car from a stand still and it just grips is a bit like voodoo magic. Its doing 0-60 in about 4s in the wet, a case of WTF and FTW! :D

What made you go for one on ditchfinder tyres with pressed plates? :p

Not many 3DR, Lapiz blue, DSG ones available, seems they are nearly all 5DR manuals. Only really like the blue, other colours are a bit meh, grey is nice but seems none existent. Plus I got it quite a bit under 20k, so relative bargain but at the expense of needing new brakes (front) and being on junk tyres. Brand new VW brakes, PS4 tyres all round is under a grand, just and the rest of the car is spotless.

Oh and yes the plates need to go! You know a good site I can order new ones from please?

Please tell me you haven't sold your awesome Mustang and bought a common lease magnet Golf :( even though it's probably quicker surely that's a massive downgrade?

Another Mustang is ordered and due for delivery April, GT, 10-speed auto, this will be traded against that or sold privately prior to taking delivery. Unless this grows on me in which case I might keep it along with Mustang and M3.

How can the brakes be ruined after just 3 years and who puts ditchfinders on a 3 year old golf?

People who know nothing about cars maybe who just arrive at the garage and say 4 tyres mate. This is a mass produced hatch, not every person buying a car understands a car or really cares. Its not being driven hard, spent most of its life going up and down the motorway. Second owner has not really use it all, did a road trip in it to Europe which finished the brakes of no doubt and its being sitting in his garage for months not being used apart from odd weekend out and he was same, just enjoys driving but has no understanding of tyres etc, he just puts fuel in and checks oil.

The brakes work, the front disc have gone, massive lip on them and a lot of deposits and scoring. Grabbed myself brakes all round for it for £100, mate has done RS5 brake conversion on his and so he took his off which have less than 1000 miles and is letting me have for a ton. A set of PS4 all round are £550 and I am getting the DSG service done early (£160) and Haldex service (£70) just to not get any nasty surprises, its just had a major service so all good. :)

Oh and its mapped too, saves me the cost, nice little rocket. :D
