Not sure how popular GTi's are in the UK but I see about 15 a day (especially where I live and my travels to and from work)

I will log everyone I see starting this Monday and will finish Friday.

BTW, I have an 08 Candy White 3 door, DSG, Leather, roof, BiZenons and I live in Melbourne Australia.

I know what you mean... Spotted a red GT sport at the lights opp the hare and tortoise this morning.Tho doubt he,ll be on here as I seem to know nearly everybodys cars by now. :grin:

When I owned my Jeep wrangler,everybody in a Jeep flashed you regardless if they knew you or not.My wife used to squirm every time one did but it made me smile.
Knowing Jeep owners as I do that would be one full "spotted" thread...

Maybe we should have a "Today I will be in......" thread,more chance of been spotted. :tongue:

Try this: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=UTF8&msa=0&ll=52.432572,-0.291138&spn=3.074777,4.158325&z=8&msid=112427767414660804027.00044a9452f8d0ba9358f

Not sure how it will work as I've only just started to have a play with it.  The map should be editable by anyone so everyone could put a placemark of their location on it - preferably with a pic of their motor.  :smiley:  I've made a start, just need to find a pic.

No ED30's where I live apart from mine (Billericay, Essex) but regularly see lots of GTI's and R32s. I sometimes flash or wave to other drivers but they just ignore me.

I had an old Camper 10 years ago and my arm used to get sore from all the waving to fellow Camper Drivers on long journeys!!  :laugh:

saw 3 R32's , 2 black ,1 blue and 5dr black GTI on way up
then on way back today , 1 red 5dr ED30 , 1 black 08 GTI

oh and a cayman driver really pushing it at high speed in the damp! I could actually see the rear squatted digging into the road! Either really talented or really stupid...

Did he have a child in the car for you to wink at?  :lipsrsealed:

As i was fueling up i could see people staring over. One fellow in a normal MK5 TDi was pointing it out to his child who must have been around 11 and i could see what he was thinking  :tongue:.

After i paid i got back in and drove off but as i was i went passed the MK5 TDi and gave the child a wink in acknowledgement.

Second GTi was white. Didn't catch any details other than colour. Was spotted in Poole along the Bournemouth-to-Poole road (is it A35?) headed towards the direction of Bournemouth at around 330pm

Candy white R32 mancunian way heading towards salford, looked the dogs danglies :cool: :cool:

Cant of been a R32 mate, they dont sell them in europe in Candy white,only in the USA. :undecided:

Chri

If it was'nt genuine then it was the best lookey likey i've seen or even heard cos they do make a quite distinctive noise, possibly an import?
Seen another 08 candy white R32 today on the m1 south near j13, guess it's a uk option now.

I swear I spotted someone from here last night.

Black Golf (gotta be GTI? It had ASK or BKT or something where the ED30 badge would be). Didn't see the front but didn't think it was an R32. Had twin centred exhaust with what looked like CF surround.

Spotted on Holdenhurst Road, just before the ASDA roundabout, Saturday 25th Oct c.2030. It undertook me, since I was stuck behind a Rover Metro and went left at the roundabout. I went straight on to go to Dominos.

Reg was something like J88 xxL (omitted two letters, hopefully enough).

YB06 plate black stock 3dr Golf GTI driven by a youngish guy with a female passenger?

Pulled out from Richmond Rd and turned right onto Bournemouth Road, headed towards Poole. I was a few cars behind you but caught up and was right behind you at one point. You saw me. I know you saw me. You looked several times in the rear view mirror. Then you got scared and drove down Sandbanks road (I think).

What's the matter? Got scared of the ED30?  :grin:

1. 3 dr steel grey Ed30 in Lime Green carpark, Telford, last week. Looked the d's b's.

2. Red Ed30 parked in Michael Wood services, M5 (southbound), WJ07 *** number, lunchtime on Sat 6 Dec. Overtook the same car on the M5 a bit later. Gave the driver a toot but didn't seem to get a response.

3. Also on the M5 southbound last Saturday - white Ed30 with a canoe on the roof. (Try doing that with a Porker  :laugh:). Again, gave the driver a toot but didn't notice any response.

Anyone with an ED30 over Cannock Chase a week last Monday? Had a big bike rack on the back.
Parked my MK3next to it for a nosey whilst walked the dog, looked fantastic, unfortunately after my dog drank his water he shook his head about a bit and put some water marks up the spotless drivers side door, If its anyone here, I will clean it for you.  :laugh:

Dont think so, it was near Call lane, which is a super-busy part of town with loads of bar's. Guy was driving like a d*ck, could of easily run someone over. He was stuck in traffic after pointlessly booting it round a corner - not the best of places to take a stolen car.

Also had two girls in the back so was probably show-boating.

Sainsburys Burton-On-Trent - White edition 30 with r32 rear with private plate (beginning in R ending in L - i think), black bbs ch with white pinstripe rim, front lower lip finished partly in black, white gti strip on front instead of the normal red and a nurburgring sticker on the back.  I'm pretty sure i've seen the same car on here. Was parked in my car behind you in the corner and was there for majority of the day (3pm until 11pm), so a good start to a day of work there.  Risky place to park though - someone with a trolley with shopping was rolling past very closely to your car; I was about to go to the guy to stop him :shocked:  Car looked very tasty and for a split second wish I had gone for white :tongue:

This was yesturday by the way.

5 in one day, all between 5.10pm and 7.10pm on Wednesday 26th May, that has to be some sort of record?

All in the Bexleyheath,Welling and Belvedere area.

1st – Black ED30 in Welling Train Station car park (always see it there) at 5.10pm.
2nd – Dark grey GTI driving along Upper Wickham Lane towards Welling at around 5.15pm.
3rd – Red GTI letting someone come out of a turning along King Harolds Way whilst driving from Belvedere towards Welling at around 5.15pm.
4th – Silver ED30 parked in the car park outside Sainsburys, Wilkinson and Pound Land in Bexleyheath at around 7.05pm.
5th – Red GTI driving along Bedonwell Road from Belvedere towards Bexleyheath at around 7.10pm.

Couldn’t get any of the reg numbers as I was driving at the time.

If anyone thinks it may have been them who I spotted, and they see me in my 05 3dr dark blue GTI give us a honk or a wave.

Hurdy had a personal plate which I'm amusing he has taken off and put on his Lexus, but he had a silver ED30 with LED rears (or did he take them off ? ) and CF badges all round. Sounds like his old "monster" of a motor.
