The Twins and a new addition!

[Cam]

Thought I'd post a few pics of the twins together and our new addition to the family (next Wednesday)

Mine as most know is pretty much standard. 2005 GTI. Dad's is a 2008 GT Sport and has the ChippedUK fast road tune installed which brings it up to around 150kw and 410nm.

Both have RNS510's installed by us. Dad and I are can pull a MKV dash apart in about 10 mins without breaking anything. We've done it enough times haha.

I like driving both cars, its incredible the amount of difference there is between them. The GT sport has so much torque with the remap, pins you to the seat a lot more than the stock GTI. But the GTI is sportier and has a heap of character which is what I love about it (not saying the GT sport doesn't have character...I just fell in love with the GTI)

Performance wise.....the GTI is a bit quicker up to 100km/h but once you get passed 120km/h the GT sport eats it. Who ever knew a tractor could be so fast?
:lol:

Anyways, I know how much we all like pics so here are a few.

Here are some older ones with my previous 2.0L TDI Comfortline.

And finally........the new addition to the family is.....a MKIV 2.0L Manual Golf.
>D

This will be my brothers car. These are only the dealer pics, but its a beautiful little car. The gearbox, clutch and accelerator feel like they've been taken out of a german tank...it feels more solid than mine...lol
And I don't know why they're really called a 2.Slow because I reckon it goes really well considering its power output. I'll be driving the MKIV a bit to spread the km's around so I don't get too many on the GTI. I have a few plans for it...

Congrats on the new car Cam! I see your family is a big fan of white cars too! :)

What plans have you got for it?

[Justin Fox]

Ah man what a nice read that was :) So much awesome!

[derek]

CW family, nice.

[Cam]

Thanks guys!
Yes we like our white cars
:p

In the future (atleast a few months) looking at getting rims for it, darker tint, stubby antenna.
Then later down the track updated hella clear tails, possibly front lights, a tune of somesort, better air filter and perhaps a colour code (atleast the handles and strips).

Got some of the ideas from the mighty car mods vid. If you have the time, watch it from 9mins onwards, the video they did is awesome
:)

Congrats Cam.

Gotta love the white!

[MasterKevin]

Go Cam go Cam :D haha

[Cam]

Thanks Tendy.
:)

Haha MK.

There are gonna be some awesome photo opportunities when the MKIV gets it aesthetic upgrades done.
I think our neighbours will officially think we're German extremists though LOL, they already look at us funny having two Golf's.
:p

[R32Perth]

Perhaps a CW Panzer tank is next on the cards?? lol

Nice addition to the family...

[Frenchie]

All this candy white goodness ! Nice addition to the family by the way.

[AP]

Nice!!

[Cam]

Cheers guys!
When we get it I'll post some proper shots.

[silverbullet]

nice dude. cw vw family.

[S&H]

Nice family of cars you've got there.
You should arrange a bulk discount for servicing at your local dealer.

[chewy7]

Nice addition to the stable dude! I like how all your cars have a sunroof, niiceee :D

[Cam]

Thanks fellas.

We may be able to hopefully work something out with the local dealer in Nowra when it opens.

We arranged extended warranty for the MKIV this afternoon with Jaz at Southern Classic in Wollongong.
She gave us a nice discount. Usually extended 3yr warranty costs around $1100 for the MKIV, we're getting it for $850

[VR53KS]

Perhaps a CW Panzer tank is next on the cards?? lol

Nice addition to the family...

:lol: Hell yeah! In the words of Jeremy Clarkson a la Top Gear Lorry Driver Special - "I'm gonna need a hell of a lot of paint..."

Funny how it's supposed to be your brother's car, and you're already planning mods for it :D

[chris32]

Looking good cam, I love CW. :)

[Cam]

Thanks Chris.
:)

Lol Dev, I know haha...I'm sure he won't mind....
:p

[benough]

So do you guys own 75% of all the Golfs in Nowra now? ;-)

[MasterKevin]

hahaha :P ballerrrs !

[Cam]

Bahah very funny benough
:p :D

There are a few others around (comfortlines, MKVI 118s etc) but not many GTIs or R32s (maybe 3 GTI and 2 R32?) There is a nice black 3DR r32 at the hospital.
Although what I find quite strange is there are a few GT sports getting around. There is another white one getting around town. They're pretty rare in white anyway we were surprised when we saw it...lol

In saying that though, I had a bit of fun last Thursday heading to work with another MKV CW GTI. It was driven by an older woman and she was having a good old time 'safely' keeping up with me in traffic
;)

[Cam]

Picked it up a day early.
:)

Its an awesome car, I love it.
Here are some crappy phone photos, will get better ones when I have some time.

Few things I noticed, its the GLE model which includes cruise control and fog lights (even a rear fog too).
And it was built in Wolfsburg.

Nice addition to the family, I am sure your brother will have a blast with it :)

[Cam]

Thanks Burgs.
He is still on his L's at the moment, but I'll be taking him out a fair bit in it over the next year or so.
When I got home from work and went into the carport he was already out there giving it a clean and had a huge grin on his face. He'll be a convert in no time.
:D

[burgs]

Nothing like your first car :)

[Cam]

True
:)

[G-rig]

Looks cool and CW is the best!

[Cam]

Thanks Grig!
I just saw in your sig that you now have a MK6 GTI in CW.............this is news to me??? When did you make the purchase?
Congrats!!!! I might add with all the perfect options too.
:D :)

Thanks - don't have it yet but should be going to get it Saturday in ACT if all things go according to plan. Will have to start a thread.

[Cam]

A few quick shots I took on Monday.
:)

I've been driving the MKIV for the past 2 days, awesome little car. Pulls like a train up hills. Easily overtakes a lot of newer cars without much effort.
And its good on fuel too. 580kms at the moment and still above 1/4 tank. I am looking forward to driving mine tomorrow though, I always get excited if I havent driven it for a day or two haha.

Other than 5 door MKV's and privates imports weren't all aussie golfs made in Wolfsburg?

My MK2 is Wolfsburg.

[SUGA]

Is that your backyard Cam?

[Cam]

Hmm I'm not sure benough.
You're probably right.
:)

Suga, thats my front yard. House faces onto National Park. 10min walk to the beach up the sand dunes as well.
:cool:

[Cam]

The MKIV and GTI had a wash today, the MKIV also has new shoes.
:)

:p

[chris32]

Looking good cam.

[silverbullet]

should have a dice near your key rack and you roll it each time you need a car e.g. 1 and 2 GTI, 3 and 4 GT, 5 and 6 GLE haha

Hehe well this week I've driven the GTI every day so far. Usually I take the MKIV a couple of times per week, but ever since I got it bluefinned I cant stop driving it
:p

Had a bit of a storm this arvo, some nice clouds to go with it as well.
First time in awhile all the cars have been together outside so I figured I'd get a few quick pics
:)

Shortly after the last pic a big bolt of lightning came down somewhere in the national park. Thats when we all ran to get the keys and put the cars away undercover lol
>D

[MasterKevin]

Looking very nice cam :D keep it up.

Ps: Gimme a call tomorrow night so we can organise sunday :D

[nath_mk6]

Mmm storms they make the cloud cover so awesome :) nice shots Cam

[Cam]

Thanks Nath / Kev
I love a good storm, as long as I know the cars are safe. The clouds were really cool last night.
>D

Sure Kev, no worries.

[10d]

Cool Cam!

Which one you're taking to the Nats?

[Cam]

Cool Cam!

Which one you're taking to the Nats?

Thanks Tendy.

I'm taking mine.
Its not really show and shine worthy in that I don't have lowered suspension/nice rims/major mods done (and the Wow factor) but its clean and I love it hehe.
:)

[nath_mk6]

mate as long as its not falling apart its show'n'shine worthy

[Cam]

Definitely not falling apart
:p

Its having a nice wash and clean tomorrow (interior as well, not that its really too bad but needs a vacuum) and then a polish.
Hopefully it doesn't rain on sunday on the way up lol.
