He'll choose the ED30 with his own money or the R32 if it is a company car :wink:

Prolly go for R32, as he waxed about it much more than about E30.

ed30 all day long, i think somebody needs to tell him that vw book stats are not quite acurate and infact ed30 can come with 240bhp and as hurdys car did 0-60 in less than 6 secs standard, then i believe he would change his mind :tongue:


GTI MK5
Not the only GTI...........but the best! ; )

Jesus!! i want want want, what a machine. Awesome spec,  NOT SURE ABOUT THE REAR BADGES THOUGH but i,m sure that could be sorted!!!

Seems to be a lot of people who always slag off the 32 and say they would always pick the gti over the 32.Why is that??

Till you try one in the real world (and i,ve had a MKV GTI and TWO MKV R32S) dont knock them,

Give me a 32 anyday,

THE NOISE
THE STYLE
THE EXCLUSIVITY
THE TRACTION
Fair enough it mat not be as nimble as a GTI but its just as easy to use day to day.

JEALOUSY PERHAPS GTI DRIVERS!!!! LOL :grin:
