4 years a go I went to pick up my GTI from VW @ Hornsby. Driving it home to Narellan (south west sydney) it was the longest stint in a manual and so I managed to stall it about 3-4 times along Pennant Hills Rd. When I got it home, it read 100km


This was day 2 of ownership tagging along with 10-15 MINI on a drive of Putty Road. Towards the end of the day I was at the bottom of Galston Gorge with km to empty reading 0, we had slow traffic going up the gorge and 10 MINI's behind me and me thinking 'please god dont let me run out of petrol here'. I didn't and there was a petrol station close to the top.


Few weeks later did a Jenolan caves & Bathurst run.

I've had a blast everyday & I've met so many great people. I never thought buying a car would have added to my list of friends. When I got to work this morning the odo read 142,496km. Currently I think I need new shocks, new radiator, my hatch release still wont open, new CV joints and new top mount bushes and I gotta purchase my 5th set of tyres. Bit of a money pit, but I hope I never have to part with this car.
