    I saw it lined on out facebook page :thumbup:

    The article was great and interesting to me because I'm on the lookout for a cheapish Mk5 that going to be 100,000+ miles.

    How many miles have you done since and hows it going? Do you plan to do any track days in it?

    Thanks :)

    Hi,

    Glad you enjoyed the article.
    Benjamin has since sold the car - a house move, and a new born baby getting the better of him.
    He had every intention to track day it though.. and it went like stink (after a very timid drive to drop it to his house one night!) would of been a blast round 'Brands!

    Funny you say that. On Sunday (about 11pm) I bought a Mk5 off a young guy who was saving for a house deposit. It's been mapped by EcoMaps (I've not heard of them) and I spent Monday thrashing it round Bedford Autodrome.

    It ran great all day with only the brakes suffering after the abuse.

    Great cars, I hope he doesn't miss it too much :thumbup:
