Valley_Boy Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Hi Just wanted to post some pics of my new car - picked it up monday from Capitol VW, Merthyr Car was detailed by James who works for them over the weekend in his spare time - who did a fantastic job! Also big thanks to Matt Jones(Sales) who did me a great deal on the ED30, and i rang loads of Dealers for their best price - so anyone looking give for New Ed30/Gti give him a Call - just say Barrie gave you his name - i'm sure hell do you a great Deal Very Happy with the car coming from a Mk4 R32 - i do miss the Growl of the R but i think the ED30 will prove a worthy replacement. Just got to run it in now before able to enjoy it fully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ourtess Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I'm not much on Black cars, but each to their own. Fancy opting for an underworked K04 rather than over stressing a K03. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there's a nice friendly post. Put simply, maybe you should just **** off out of here. There's nothing wrong with offering an opinion, but when you're primarily out to offend, then you're just being an arsehole. To Valley_Boy, the car looks good mate. I wish they hadn't discontinued the ED30, as I was considering getting one myself. The Pirelli edition isn't to my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ourtess, you're entitled to your opinion, however, there are better ways of putting your views forward on this forum. Your super critical unfounded statements have probably miffed Valley_Boy and have probably offended many other ED30 owners on this forum, me being one of them! Valley_Boy – excellent pictures, lets hope it’s a sunny and dry bank holiday weekend, so you can get some decent quality miles on the clock. Keep an eye out for Ourtess!

shao_khan Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 That really was a pointless post above - if you don't like the Ed30 and have no constructive comment, then sometimes keeping quiet works just nicely. LEts play nice eh and looks much better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i have said in other posts to you. Come back in 10 years 130,000 miles and list the problems you have had with your tuned car. Lets see how more heat and stress on un-uprated components compares. Theres a reason VW uprated them, if it was not needed they sure as hell would not have done it as it costs them more to do it then not. But then im an engineer by trade and i can see why they would have done it your probably cannot and just follow the sheep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoopy Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Yes looks very nice. Makes me ashamed i need to go clean mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ourtess Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 I wouldn't choose a black car myself but they look ok when clean. White Gti's look good when clean and horrible when dirty and the residuals are eye popping low. I saw a white Tourag last week, it looked awful.

MajorH Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I bought a black ED30 for no other reason than it was available, love it to bits now, it replaced a stolen V R32, I was a bit apprehensive but in the real world comparing stock with stock I honestly don't notice the difference. Good choice, enjoy the car and ignore the cocks. BTW if you have the nav does it do UK postcodes ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
