yeah theres no problem with that!!!?

good idea ... but does it "have" to be a Golf? cos i think some people on here dont own a golf yet ... some have Polo's and corrado's etc

you're missing the point. here's _ your _ original post that started this dicussion.

yes they're welcome to post. but that doesn't mean they should be feature cars.

Having Car of the month in my eyes is a very good idea.

For me this forum is a Golf GTi forum..  :) However maybe JV could also link to Non-Golf Gti Car of the month too? Just a diplomatic thought?

I think the car of the month is a great idea. In terms of who it should be open too, like others, I have my own view!

I think it should be open to anyone who uses the site on a regular basis, regardless of the car they drive. We have many non-GTi members, drivers of VR6, R32, modified CL's, TVR Golf etc) and it would be unfair to exclude these models.

In terms of future models. the GTi brand is undergoing an evolution at present, and the MK5 is likely to stretch it further - we are going to be seeing 'R' and 'S' spec perfomance models, as well as the traditional GTi models. By making the car of the month GTi only, you'll be excluding a big portion of future performance models, which I don't think is right.

I perosnally have a big interest in all cars, not just the golf GTi, so if one of our fellow members is running a Polo GTi with a supercharged VR6 lump under the bonnet, I would like to see it featured so I can read about it and drool over the photos!

I know what everyone's fears of non-GTi cars being potentially featured are - Badly modified base models, or cars that are going to stimulate no interest in 90% of the forum members due to a total lack of application to our site. BUT! give the people will potentially be picking the cars the benefit of the doubt - They simply won't feature a car that wouldn't interest the majority or 'cut the mustard' so to speak.

Just my views  ;)
