I just bought an '05 VW GTI 1.8T Thursday...
Traded in my '98 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS that had an AEM cold air and some off-brand exhaust that the previous owner put in.
The GTI is completely stock atm so I don't think pictures are necessary... not sure what to do to it first. BTW it's dark silver/charcoal w/ gray leather interior and 17" rims.
Looks just like this one:

How weird is that? Just found this thread after asking Parked what he`s driving about 10 minutes ago. The collective brain of forums!!!! :D
I`m driving a modded Focus ST (ecu upgrade, intercooler, bigger turbo, exhaust etc.) shes giving about 330bhp and for a FWD car is a bit of a handful given the current UK weather, with traction control on its undriveable with it off it`s just plain dangerous. Just got new falken tyres and I hate `em!!!!! 8-o

Oh noo, a car thread!!
Seeing your rides rally makes me miss mine. I have a 1979 Corvette in storage, awaiting time/money for a new transmission :-(
Daily driver is a '07 Dodge Caliber 2.0CRD.
At work (as a taxidriver) i drive a '07 Mercedes E-class 280CDI. Not very exciting, but admittedly a great piece of engineering :)

Nice motors Syntax, always had a soft spot for american muscle just totally impractical on uk roads, where I live the tarmac aint been touched since the dawn of time!!!!
Regarding the M3 , just do it!!! Took one out a couple of months ago, I wasn`t impressed a low revs as it didn`t feel that much quicker than other rides I`ve had, but stick your boot in it and flies like it`s had a hot poker stuck in its ...!!!!!! :cool:

I drove a 2002 E46, but you cant go wrong with any model. Just make sure they have been serviced well as garage bills can mount up. My local wanted £600 for a routine oil change and general check over 8-o. That`s the only problems with these cars.....they can be relatively cheap to buy nowadays but in essence it`s still bordering on supercar performance and parts prices.
