Woke up to this sitting in our driveway…






Another friggin’ Golf! I’ve trained my parents well.


I’m try to commandeer it for occasional random cruises.

Thats good to see Paul. At least there is one Golf in your driveway these days. Looks lonely though? Better get into another real soon mate!

[brackie]

Get looking.....

The "TDI" badge appears to have fallen off

[mikinoz]

That is what happens when you wake up at lunchtime, the oldies have done the days business already!

Bring it up to mine and we can cut the springs and paint the calipers! :p

Sorry I missed you before...

[golf-kart]

I’ll write a review on this Mk5 in the near future.

Way ahead of you Mick... I'm just trying to find an extension cord for my angle grinder. Should have it dumped on it guts by 6pm.

...Ok. This car is friggin’ amazing!!!


I keep discovering new gadgets & feature.

Tell you what, those German folk know how to build a car!

[DubSteve]

Awesome car looks like heaps of fun to be had in it!!!

[gtimk5]

I think that the only way you will ower that car Paul is to remove the wheels! That way it is reversible before the parents get home!! .
Lose the roof racks on the cruises too mate! Whats the performance like? I haven't had a 1.6 in yet. Not a lot of them around.
Kerren and I have some GTI rims too. Hers have the tyres too and they are for sale if not already sold.

Straight line performance is exceptional for a 1.6l. It noticeably lacks torque, however I would say the motor is on par with my old Mk3 2.0l (if not superior). Handling is also superb for a standard car; as a driver you don’t feel disconnected from the car, ride comfort is firm without being uncomfortable, and turn in is shape & responsive.

Me like button off…


Andrew, you’ve got another Mk5 customer. Also PM me a price for Kerren’s wheels & tyres – I’ll see if I can word up the old’s to buy them!



Cheers.

[gtimk5]

I think she wants about $2000. Tyres are like new, they cost $410 each, I know!!!!! The wheels are absolutely like new. The calipers would have to be painted (!) and the brakes could look a bit lonely???!!!
They would look great on the car though.
I'm glad to see they bought a mk5, for sure!
Looks like it has the early VW hatch emblem? The late ones have the VW built up and aren't flat finished

[golf-kart]

Andrew, no luck in convincing the parents to buy the wheels.

$2000 is a great price for gti 17’s – someone will snap them up…

brackie, put them on your TDI!
