  • Oh Hi!

    Thought it was about time I stopped lurking, joined up and introduced myself.

    Took delivery of my first VW last week and so far I'm absolutely loving it (only hit the wipers once ) Having been a Subaru fan for many years (7 Subi's all up) it was hard to step away from the marque. However their continued reduction in interior quality caused me to start looking elsewhere. For a company who likes to think they're competing with Euro's they're certainly going about it the wrong way.

    After having driven several cars from the Euro marques, I finally settled on an MY11 Tig 125. Decent value and performance for what I need. The task now will be to keep my hand out of the wallet and not spend anything on mods. I don't know how long that will last though as I'm a bit of a fiend for modding anything that's got a hint of performance from the factory, I just can't seem to leave them alone.

    That's enough from me for now.

          Hi mate.
          Sounds like you got a pretty practical Tig there.

          Pepper Grey can look ace with a nice set of wheels.

          I know you don't wnat to spend but the stage 1 ecu remap dramatically changes the stock car into an enthusiasts car. Well worth the small upfront cost imho.

                    there ain't nothin' wrong with looking after the black...

                    I just have to do it every weekend, especially now with the polished nudge bar that hits the bugs that much faster because of the APR remap...not to tempt you or anything Drift...

                        Thanks for the welcomes gents. As for mods, I'm certain they'll come at some point in the near future. I foresee at least an APR stage 1 and new wheels. As for black, it's enough of a PITA keeping a black bike looking pristine let alone a black car. And as I tend to spend more time on two wheels on the weekends than cleaning and other chores, it would be a tad remis of me to even think for a moment Id keep up the required care regeim of such a beast. Amittedly, if time wasn't a factor I'd liket have gone black.

                            Black looks great!
                            I love the fact that the body mouldings just blend in with the cars colour.....
