Title: Farewell Photoshoot
Post by: Awry on 12 August 2012, 19:36
Hi guys! Sadly I have to let go of my dear GTI. Today I decided to take it out for a spirited drive and a photoshoot for the last time before it gets sold. This car has given me great joy so I'm a bit sad to let it go. It's been so much fun with all the modifications and it's my first brand-new car. Still remembering the 6800km road trip I had when the car was two weeks old. All the way from Norway to Italy and I was able to drive by a lot of awesome locations like Wolfsburg and especially the Alps. I'll have to go back to Stelvio Pass when I get another GTI. :)

I'm pretty sure though I'll stick around the forums since I'm forever a GTI fan. I'll definitely look for another GTI in the future. :)

You don't see many silver GTI's and yours is certainly a beautiful example of one.

All the best for your motoring future.

Due to my hobby and the fact that I'm getting married next year I and my fiance decided we needed something bigger.

It's definitely not as fun to drive as the GTI but it works.

I'm a member of the norwegian VW-Audi club so it was a nice coincidence that I ended up with an Audi after the GTI. Got lucky with finding one in such good condition locally. If not I would have ended up with a Volvo.

Hi, I see your exhaustpipes are the standard can you enlighten me on that... :cool:

It's Milltek. I tried the Milltek Race 3" seen here: http://www.millteksport.com/images/custom/780.jpg (http://www.millteksport.com/images/custom/780.jpg)

I wasn't happy with it as it was boomy in certain rpm range. I got to try a newer one made for the Scirocco R. Fits perfect and it was exactly what I was looking for. Meatier sound but at the same time quiet when just cruising without any boomyness what-so-ever. The best part is how it looks from behind. No huge ugly box visible from the back. Actually less visible then the standard. You have to look under the car to even see the box. :)

Seen here: http://www.millteksport.com/images/custom/983.jpg (http://www.millteksport.com/images/custom/983.jpg) It's the one marked with blue text.

hehe thanks. :D Tartan trim is definitely a like or hate thing. I fell for it since it fits so well with the red accents and since it reminds me of the GTI heritage.
