Re: INTRODUCTIONS - Say Howdy Here
Hey everyone,
Very impressed with the maturity on this site, hope it stays this way. I'm a BMW tech and shop owner, but my heart is all VW. I have owned many beetles and buses over the years, bought a new GTi VR6 in 95 and loved it. For the last several years I have driven a beautiful unrestored 1970 BMW 2500 sedan as my daily driver, but began to feel guilty about it and decided it should be a sunny day car. I went car shopping and tried to get excited about the BMW 330i ZHP but couldn't. On a whim I went and drove the GTi with the DSG and fell in love with it. If anyone has driven a BMW with the SMG trans, you would know what I mean when I say the DSG is light years ahead of BMW in this department. I am very happy with the car so far. I wouldn't mind better sounding speakers and fewer interior rattles, but overall it's a blast.
I'm sure my BMW customers will give me crap when they find out I bought a VW, but who cares, I have a grin on my face when I get to work.

Re: INTRODUCTIONS - Say Howdy Here
I purchased my Fast 3 weeks ago tomorrow and I love it! It does have the rattle in the vent in center upper dash, I will get it fixed at the 5k oil change...gas mileage is not what I hoped it would be coming from a '91 BMW 325is, the gas mileage is about the same...but so much more fun to drive. I have had an '89 GTI 16V and an '82 Scirrocco...I loved both of those cars. I have posted a few times to others questions on here, I think this is a great forum and have found everyone to be friendly...look forward to more posts as we all get to know our Fast's....Later

INTRODUCTION from SoCal
Hi Everyone! Wanted to introduce myself.
Last night I finally got my GTI and I haven't stopped smiling yet! ;D
It's a 2007 GTI MkV in Black Magic. I think it's so cool that I got a car painted Black Magic on Halloween. >
I hope I can learn lots about my new prized posession, service/maint./mod information.
Again, HI and wish me luck with my new baby.

Glad to know that everyone is getting settled in, Here is a tip for you new guys: If you look at your car and think it doesnt look good, wash it. Happened to me today, feels like I have a new car. 8)

Wouldn't take long to get dirty again. My car's covered with a coat of brown sludge, with leaves litterally frozen onto it and big chunks of brown ice hanging from just behind the wheel wells. I forget, did I get BM or UG?

It must be my German genes. I don't eat, drink, talk on the phone, etc. while driving. Driving is the pleasure itself. 8)
VERY COOL!!! Good Luck with it. Sounds like we have the same car, only difference is I have the 6-Speed Stick. I can't drive an automatic. Not as much fun. LOL.VenomousButtrfly said:Hi all! Newbie here also!

Our knees won't allow us to play w/manuals anymore. So we got the next best thing.
I too have German genes (how freaky).
