What RS GOLF Had To Say
This is so cool, to be nominated
for car of the month in itself is great, so everyone nominated should be very
pleased. Being put in the final vote against a great car (GaryM), just made me
speechless, which for people who know me, know this is a very rare thing
indeed.
Winning this is a great honour, as I have only ever
done mods to my car to please myself and get my Golf looking the way I would
have liked, from the factory.
I have always tried to do the mods myself, as I like
to know that something has been done the way I like and without any unwanted
surprises to mess things up.
I would mainly like to thank Jabbasport for looking
after my car and tuning the engine to a great spec. A big thank you for
everyone that posts on this forum with tips and warnings on how to do things,
as this has helped me greatly.
Also a big thank you to those that nominated my car
and voted for it.
