NSW Arrival of new child !

[paulb]

Hi all, I have followed this forum for a while now, but have decided to get a bit more involved and introduce myself, as I have just taken delivery of a new Tornado Red GTI Adidas

I purchased it from Jadd at Chatswood Classic, and traded it for an 07 Golf GT which was fully optioned. (The current drive away deals were too good to resist). I was out and about around Sydney in it today and have done about 150km so far. First impressions are very good. I have tried to not push things too hard, but it definately has way more punch that the twincharger, although I am missing that supercharger whine!

Will post a few photos when I work out how to do it.

Congratulations! Can I ask what deal you got for the Adidas? A dealer in QLD has one in red also and wants around $47k driveaway for it, wasn't sure if that was good or not.

I paid $45k driveaway and got $23k for my trade (most dealers were quoting $18-20k). I could have either red or white and it came with rear park sensors, as well as the standard Adidas features. I was out in it today for work and found the Bluetooth function really handy. It imports the phonelist from my iphone and has one button answer on the steering wheel with auto mute of music ..... very handy

Excellent. Pictures would be great, otherwise I'll PM you my email address and you can send them there. Would like to see how it looks in red.

I plan to take photos over the next few days and will post them when I do. I decided on red because the family all liked the colour on the GT that I had, and our other car is white. I would have been fine with either, but left it to others to decide.
