Howdy all,
My names Rory, some of you know me personally, but most of you probably know my website, DownshiftAus. At the last big meet for June I saw a big contingent of dubs roll in. Got a little excited in the pants region. Was told it was the VWWC Crew and I was slack and only got around to signing up today, CAUSE WORK SUCKS!!!11
I was chasing a new car for a daily but I wanted something sick still, not some POS. I started looking a MkV's and so fourth. Started picking up some copies of PVW and checking the scene out. Got fairly hooked on VW's, almost bought a tonne of different models. Pirelli's, MkIV and V R32's etc etc. Still umming and arring I ended up looking towards Evo's, mainly VIII's and IX's. I wanted an Evo IX so badly but they were so steeply priced for their k's and I definitely did not want a silver one because they were so common.
Long story short, I ended up buying a Tornado Red MkVI GTI because seriously, how do you go past that front end? Looked at the R's but couldn't warrant spending the money for 'just a daily'. Didn't plan on doing anything to the GTI, jsut using it as a nice run around while saving for something else to toy with. Unfortunately thanks to some influential mates and a PVW subscription...I now own Golf moneypit that is getting worse, with all engine bases covered, I am moving on to Accu-Air catalogues and my wallet is HATING me.
Thats my story peeps, will tell more about car in a build thread when I get around it. Got some funny stories, like how I entered Powerplay and beat fully worked VE GTS's as well as sitting side by side with an R35 GTR
come say hey if you see me around. Massive Downshift sticker on the front window gives it away. Soon to be personalised plates as well!!!!
