First, a little background. I was a regular on these forums a bit over three years ago. Back then I owned a Mk. IV Golf GTI. Even in its day it wasn't a particularly exciting car, but I loved it. A week after my son was born I was parked outside RNS hospital, waiting for the call that all was ready for collection to go home. Not to be. A p-plater fell asleep at the wheel and slammed into my Golf. Of all the cars to hit! Anyways, the 323 Astina that hit me was pretty much turned inside out, while my Golf was shortened a bit. Apart from the smashed rim the damage didn't look that bad, but the drivers side doors were both jammed, and alas she was written off. I couldn't bring myself to buy another Mk. IV and start again, so we went with a Honda Accord Euro.
Now we find ourselves in a position to buy a new car and I was settling on a 110 Highline with the R-line package. My wife however, perhaps sensing that I would never be satisfied with that, found a demo MY15 GTI with under 1800k's on the clock at a good price. We got a very good deal and put down the deposit today. Not my first choice of colour but beggars can't be choosers, right?
