Placed my order for a Caddy TDI this morning and may have it on friday.
Got nice plans for it too. One thing on the definate list is to colourcode the damn front bumper!! Sho7uld have been done at the factory.
Suspension, wheels and a reflash is also there too plus a jazzy signage scheme.
Cheers, Andrew

sounds good Andrew. can't wait to see what you do with it.

What colour? and are you selling the mk 5 or?

Placed my order for a Caddy TDI this morning and may have it on friday.

That is fast! Was your price effected by changes ACCC made,or didn't you noticed any difference?

[gtimk5]

Its a white one, a good base for the business stuff to go on though a red or blue would have been nice. Cant wait to get the changes to it done, the Mk5 GTI wheels will go on it for the moment though a set of BBS would look better... It will be a good advertisment for the workshop.

We have pretty well no recession down here and the tax thing isnt a problem for me. I am constantly booked out 1-2 weeks in advance here

The GTI has done 61000 kms in 3.5 years and will be parked under the unit and brought out on the weekends. I just covered 4,882 kms on my trip to the nationals and Brissie with absolutely no hiccups apart from an errant fault code thrown. Averaged 7.6l per100 which is amazing for it. Copped a hard time in northern NSW on a long windy road and loved it!!
Whether I take the Caddy or the Golf to the Vic dovw is yet to be decided, either way, I will be there!!

Good news Andrew.

Looks like you make more money when you're not there

Hmmm, Maris, maybe....
No, its been in the wind for a while and has been festering in the back of my brain for a while!
We will find out more tomorrow I hope. Brackie is sposed to be visiting this weekend and he can demonstrate his running in procedure I hope.
Cant wait.....

Fantastic news Andrew! Can't wait to see some pics.

You'll have to let me know how the reflash goes!


Haha we'll have to have a Caddy-off at a track day one day.. However.. If you go faster than me I'll never speak to you again! (Probably more of a reason to try and beat me, right? haha)

[Mrk_Mickey]

Nice one dude, can't wait to see it in white, I haven't ever seen a colourcoded one and white makes me weak at the knees baha.

[mikinoz]

That is awesome, so from that I can assume that your new book keeper is a little more upstanding than the last.

Really happy that things are going well for you, and make sure that you screw Shane down as far as you can on price! See if he will throw in free scheduled servicing!

[phaeton]

Congrats Andrew

Yourself and Brackie will have to come visit the SA crew someday in the Caddies

[gtimk5]

Hey Chris, the reflash on deisels go in very quickly mate. I can only do 4 tyre pressures while reflashing Golf TDIs. Will be interesting mate and yep, be in for a track test anyday!! You have laid down the guantlet!!
Thanks Mickey, I will be very careful not to have too much coding on the front, leave the grills in black.
Mick, the new book keeper is doing a great job, as ugly as he looks!! Makes me wonder where all the money has gone over the years.......
Shane has given me a sizeable discount plus thrown in the rear mat and mudflaps. He is a hard taskmaster but when you look at the dozens of Mk5s I have sold for them, they still owe me!!

And Ben, thanks mate, I would love to get over to Adelaide again sometime soon. Better get over this last trip!!
Cheers fellas, Andrew

Just watch Jacksons on their build and compliance dates, as I was not given the VIN for the Sportline until they relocated it to Hobart only to find it was an 11/06 complied 05/07... that gave me the jeebies, other than that they send me an SMS on Tuesday to say congrats on 2 years of ownership...

[gtimk5]

Gotta be happy with getting an sms Mick!! Must have been Geoff that sent that!
No doubt you get birthday cards each year too?? My cards stopped a couple of years ago...

[GoLfMan]
