Hello all
My names Ashley, I live in Billericay, Essex, 36, born and raised in North London.
Ordered a new GTI Clubsport yesterday in Pearl Oryx White.
Currently looking at 16 week lead time, its gonna drag.
I’ve gone a bit crazy in the optional extras:
Harman/Kardon Sound System
19” Estoril Alloys
Dynamic Chassis Control
Rear View Camera
Digital Key
Front and Rear Dashcam
Was torn between this colour and moonstone, decided against the moonstone after I saw it on a ID.3
I have a tonne of questions, I’ll look around on the forum before asking.
I’m no stranger to vw, my wife has a 2018 GTE, I’ve own a 2017 GTE Advanced, a 2015 GTD and a Passat many years ago
I have an interesting car history I think...
Noticeable cars, I had an FN2 Type R that I supercharged and modded every thing you can imagine, I’ve had every Type R since including a few limited edition Mugens along the way.
The car am selling for the GTI Clubsport is a Tesla Model 3 Performance in Red, I can’t imagine many have done that!
Why you ask? Tesla isn’t cheap I can’t warrant a car like that sitting on the drive another year with little use, before Covid I used to travel a lot, I can’t see that returning for me. Whilst the car is very VERY fast and interesting from a software perspective it just doesn’t have the excitement of a petrol car that sounds great. I was toying with the R, another Type R and even for a crazy moment a 911 but decided to return to the fun world of hot hatches and learn about the GTI like I did my FN2 Type R. Also I feel like the mrk8 GTI will be part of history and I want to say I own the last one (queue annoying facelift announcement in a few years lol)
Looking forward to getting involved in all the forum topics and hopefully contributing, I was a prolific member of civinfo back in the day, would be good to find the GTI version of that community from early 2010s
