Hello one and all,Just joined the forum and as you can see from the subject header I'm new to the world of motoring forums as a contributor, although I have enjoyed reading and learning from other sites over the years.
My motoring history is as chequered as everyone's I suppose, starting with a 1963 Mini (year not cc!) in 1970, yes I'm quite old I can hear you all thinking, followed by a range of dull family hatchbacks and saloons, excluding a 406,my longest kept car.
In recent years I've become more adventurous, with a Honda S2000, great car, once you had managed to get in and out and another Mini, Cooper this time and I felt I had completed my motoring circle.
However I'm inclined to change cars more regularly than I know I should and I now have a Gti. Nearly as fast as the Honda but I feel considerably safer. Must say now I've had a good look round it there are some really nice styling touches and it chugs along well. Very pleased so far.
I've a question or two to ask at a later date.
So if that's ok I'll be back.
