What have you done to your MK 7 today ?

[Yusee]

Well not exactly today but earlier this week ………..got it out of the garage and took it up the road for the first time since ceramic coating it last October 👍. Safely tucked away again now

That’s interesting. A 3 door TCR garage queen.
What’s the reason to keep it?

The right colour with the right amount of doors in arguably the best guise of the mk7, with the age of EV's looming I'd be keeping in nice in a garage as well.

Not sure what you mean. If you mean why aren’t I doing 500miles a week it’s because I don’t have to. I enjoy owning just as much as driving

I’m interested, I’m not being critical.

I’m on car about number 140 since I started driving quite a lot of years ago so I’ve done plenty of driving .I now  find I get as much pleasure just owning the car and faffing with it as I do driving now. I don’t mind a spin out in it but I get an equal amount if enjoyment in the detailing of it and keeping it nice. I’ve got a few cars and bikes but do very few miles in/on any of them. My enthusiasm for rattling around the countryside isn’t what it used to be but I do enjoy the ownership of a nice vehicle.

Took the GTI and a friends Clubsport out for a mountain run

There are many ways to enjoy car ownership.
I thought you may be keeping it pristine with a specific purpose in mind, given that it’s an unusual example of one the best hatchbacks ever made, imho.
I occasionally see very low mileage classics advertised in auctions, I suspect yours will become a coveted car in years to come.

Sorry but what a waste of such a beautiful car. I hate garage queens

Never a waste keeping something nice! No point driving something nice in winter when there's reduced grip and it looks a shadow of itself after 5 mins of grime and dirt. Keep it for summer and enjoy it when it's dry and you can actually use the power!

I disagree entirely but each to their own. Cars are made to be driven. It’s a gti not a Lamborghini ! I keep my cars immaculate but they are made to be driven.
