SOme launched last week but lots are doing it tonight.

I'm covering the Basingstoke Dealer launch for TorqueVW.com tonight. I'll post a link up to the pics and write up when it goes live hopefully early next week.

Well, I went along last night and it was pretty good! They had some food out and everyone was really chatty!

Got given the new brochure too... on a usb stick :grin: Pretty clever I thought especially with all this recycling no waste stuff :smiley:

Overall, I like the mk6, nice and clean design IMO. There was a woman from the MK1 owners club who worked there taking pics of the cars that turned up too :smiley:

Sweet! Funny how the show room looks pretty much the same (no pics im affraid) as my one! Same floor pattern!

There was a mint Mk2 in our one, it had mirror like paint! Spoke to the guy for ages too and its been 3 and a half years sinse the re-spray and he uses it daily! (Also cleans it daily judging by what his friend was saying!)

All dealers I have been in look the same (apart from building layout obviusly), must a generic design that they must follow.

Found a terrible and embarasing pic of me laughing while playing on the 8 track race circuit they had out :laugh:



This Mk2 got more attention from the Golf lovers than the Mk6 did...



Used daily, (proberly cleaned daily) :drool:
