Bought new '83ish W reg..? Mk 1 Golf GTI 1800 8 valve....(at the time) WOW..!! Terrible brakes of course, much like the Cooper 'S'.

was out of town this weekend in Bristol seeing my daughter, well we went to the big shopping centre there and parked up in massive car park(Cribbs Causeway..??). after about 2 hours came back to find rear number plate had been knicked..!! go to report at the local police station and am told is...

Guys I wonder what you think is the best time to 'trade-in' is these days, I am thinking about changing my A3 and would be aiming at the end of Feb. 08 plate. That would be 18 months old with average mileage of say 18k, that used to be about the right time, not sure if that is still the case...

Have had Bluefin for 2 months now on my 140 tdi manual s-line, it lets you realise the full potential of the car. For average fast motorway driving it's perfect, very good for catch-up and high speed cruising, within the law obviously..!! I think the 190ish BHP is about right for British roads...
