Hi all,

I just purchased my ZHP a few days ago and am in LOVE! Coming from a modded GTI, this car is super fun for being all stock. Every day I'm finding out something new about it. I don't know much about the car but have started doing a little research. I've only put about 120 miles on the car so far, but it looks as though I'll be taking it for a joy ride this afternoon.

Pics will be posted soon and I really look forward to meeting some of you and learning more about this car.

-Mackie

Mackie, oh, OK. Many of us are down here in Southern California. Was just checking to see if you were among us. There are also some NoCal guys up there, though. California is well represented on this forum.

Again, welcome to the site. Glad you joined.

My boyfriends Mom is down in Vista, so I get down there from time to time. Maybe one of these days I'll wander into the regionals section to find some meets.

Mmmmm, Stone Brewery. I spent some time there last fall. A friend of mine is one of the hostesses.

"Near San Jose?" Me too, in the mountains outside of Los Gatos. Join the BMW CCA if you're not a member already and come join us for autocross starting in April. We have a few ZHPs who participate, can always use more.

Welcome!

Orient blue, no idea how many others they made but I haven't seen any others on the forum.

Time to prep mine for sale :)

Blue, nice! Don't forget to add yours to the registry, http://www.zhpregistry.net/ . There are 10 orient blue ZHPs on there of 317 total, so it's pretty uncommon.

Wow, I had no idea it was that uncommon. Sweet! I'll register there in a few, thanks!

My first car was a 2003 Jetta 2.0. Then I traded that for a 2003 GTI vr6 24v. Then I inherited a 2003 GTI 1.8T. Now I am moving on :eeps

Thanks for that link, I'll check it out.
