Stopped Lurking

[CrazyHorse]

Hi all,

Decided to stop lurking and to contribute.

Have previously been a member of forums - XR8 pursuit ute and a clubman7 replica (lotus 7 - FAST go cart for the road!).

I have also owned a private import Audi S2 Coupe quattro - nice but expensive to maintain!

I drive a MkVI TSI118 DSG for work, and a silver 06 GTI manual MkV as a personal ride (missus drives it to work every day).

Considering a flash in a few months, but only for mild performance upgrade - more about torque than power.

See you all on the forums

Hey mate, welcome aboard!

You've had some sweet rides - care to post some up?

Thanks,

I will look for pics - dont think I have any of the quattro coupe. I sold it cos it was a nightmare to keep going - the 20V was getting tired. It stripped the plastic(!) gears in the dizzie shaft and I was quoted $1200 to $1500 to get a new set imported. I was on hols in Adelaide, so I got a set custom made in brass (i think) - $800. Beautiful car though - a nice GT and very confidence inspiring in the wet.

Here is a list of current and past cars that I can recall:

Current:
MkV 2006 GTI silver 5 dr manual sunroof - 34K from dealer with only 7000k on the clock (3 yrs old!).
MkIV 2009 TSI118 DSG (work car - gets thrashed!)
Suzuki GSR600 motorbike
