New to the site, new to VW

Morning all,

This is my first step into VW ownership after owning everything blue oval (Ford).

I was reccomened this site by Tom from Motorwerks/Voodoo as its currently in there getting checked out and a major service & tune.
Currently the distributor is giving them problems as it seems to have given up the ghost. They were there till gone 8pm trying to sort it for me, hoping to have it back today as its just the timing to do. Then it should be like a new car . Ive owned it for just over a week and Im loving it.

"Dark-Side" lol, Ive had no end of comments from all my Ford friends that I have now joined the "Dark-Side".

haha, there seems to be a few dark sides

of course your welcome to join mate just pay your £5 joining fee and well get your wristband in the post

Welcome and I really like your motor, those wheels are lovely.
Join in, that is all you need to do to be part of this place. Get yourself a build thread in the garage and share the work you have done.

Welcome dude! sweet ride you got there... love the 928,s!
