Haha, touché. I forgot the extra 5kW factor there.

Lol.

Not long now mate. Sleepless night for you then.

Tell me about it - although with 'Junior Dubber' only three months old I am fairly used to sleepless nights.

Gotta actually head into the Adelaide Hills tomorrow afternoon which will be a nice intro, bar the predicted rain and 12c max - actually I like that weather so I should be in heaven!

I'm glad I'm pass that stage. Terrible 2's now and think that can be worse some days.

Anyway post some pics when you get the beast

So I picked up my first VW yesterday night. Red GTI with leather. Some night shots in my garage.

The drive back was as comfortable as our euro accord, just not as boring.

I was surprised at the quality (or lack of) of the halogen headlights. They don't light up the road as much as I thought they would. I see that there is an existing thread about this already. I'll have to see what alternatives there are.

Looks good ZMan, congratulations.
I agree with you on the halogens; will definitely be looking to upgrade these soon

I don't know if it was the camera, the lighting in the scene, or the calibration of my computer monitor, but...

Would it be safe to assume that these photos aren't representative of the car's actual paint colour in real life?

Nothing, so long as that's what one is after!

I imagine others would less enthralled at the prospect of a hot pink GTI, heh.
