    It's 10 years to the day that I signed up to the forum and picked up the Clubsport last weekend so thought I'd put together a bit of a celebratory post.
    I did originally join briefly in 2001 but didnt bother signing in much and couldn't remember my password.

    The original H5 LRW, replacing my Alpine white MK2 CL

    Was convinced to buy the MK4 in 2005 by the incarnation of Mrs LRWmotorsport at the time. It was the under powered 2.0 version. Big mistake but allowed me to take the MK2 on track.

    Golf GTI Championship was announced late 2006. 8v was built to spec.

    Last race for the red 8v, collected at Coram, spin and win from the back of the grid, October 2012

    Bit of road car history missing pictorially here.
    MK4 went in favor of 2.0 16v Corrado in Red.
    Relocation to Cheshire saw the demise of the Rado and welcome to MK GTI 150 diesel that promptly ate two tappets

    MK4 GTI was replaced with a proper car:

    Corrado had to go for practical reasons. I think Ken Lark is riding round with bits of it.
    The only non-VW vehicle on the LRWmotorsport fleet

    Ordered in August 2015 to make up for not having time to commit to a full seasons racing in 2016
    Golf GTI Edition 40 Clubsport, fittingly the 7th vehicle to wear the plate and one it will be staying on for a long time.
    The car is awesome.
