The Golf is perfect for...
« on: 05 November 2019, 13:52 »
Just saw this shocking driving https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvGEQ34Fw1w which I have no idea how he escaped a custodial sentence and only got a 12-month ban from driving (not that he had a license or insurance to start with).

Reading some of the YT comment got me thinking - apart from racing the police, what else does everyone find their GTI (Performance Golf) perfect for?!

Some of the driving I've seen in East London without a police chase as a reason has been more shocking. I've driven all over the world - Paris, Delhi, Johannesburg - easy. East London? No chance.  :grin:

I think my father in law deserves a shout out for using his GTI as a greenhouse. Keen gardener and goes away to the Lake District but tomato seedlings need attention so specially made tray goes on the parcel shelf and they get a lovely ride up the M1. I bet seeing him with that on the parcel shelf sparked a few conversations in cars nearby!

When I'm not working, I usually have a choice of car- 205 or golf. It can sometimes be an agonising one.
Fast twisty roads - take the golf.
If it's raining..or even wet- the golf.
If the wife is with me- the golf ( she doesn't appreciate the 205, so why waste it on her)
If I don't know where I'm going or need to talk to people as I drive (hardly ever)- the golf
If I feel like driving very fast- the golf.
If I feel like driving slowly- the golf.
If I want to warm my arse as I drive- obviously the golf.

Perfect for everything and on the right road- the "fast twisties", more fun than the 205.
