*Newish to Me 2005 MCS; Eugene,OR

Hello NAM peoples. I picked up a Hyper Blue/Black Roof MCS, with 82k miles back in November and Have since motored along to 89k as of yesterday. I really enjoy the car so far and have already done a bit of wrenching (indurator plates/SC replacement/brake rotors and pads/new battery/oil change/spark plugs... and so forth) I have to say it is a vast improvement over my mk1 GTI that I've been driving for the past decade.

So yeah, Just wanted to introduce my car to you all. I've aptly named it Tilda for the british/german heritage as well as the name Tilda means (In german) "strength in battle" which I think is quite appropriate.

I'll post pics soon

Cheers

I was a Mk. 1 GTI guy for a long time! It's what got me into tuning cars. Welcome.
