Mk5 golf gti
Ok so as some may know i have been on the look out for a car for the coming winter
i have test drove cars ranging from fiesta zetec s and focus st170 to golf gti's and bmw 323's
Im so indecisive its unreal lol but last week i got an email from someone saying they had an alfa 147 in that they had taken in part ex and they wanted 2500 for it
so off i went for a look, first thing i noted was how much of a good looking car it is especially with these wheels (all new tyres too)
it had around 60k miles on it and the interior was awesome with the full black leather with red sticthing, and heated seats too
it has full service history and had the chocolate cambelt changed less than 10k ago so i was quite happy with that
so after checking everything we arranged a test drive after college
on the test drive it was a great car to drive very comfy and very solid with no noises from anywhere and i wasnt expecting much from the engine in terms of performance but it pulls quite well and i was very surprised
i did notice the thermostat needs changing so hopefully get a few more mpg once that is done this week, its currently sat on 30 mpg which is very good imo with the knackered thermostat
so anyway some pics

the plan is to get this running at its best and sort some of the classic comedy electrics but thats all part of the fun i suppose (or so i tell myself)
anyways ill try an update and see how i get on with it
comments and advice welcome
