Title: Minted in Hertfordshire
Post by: gizzywizzy on 16 September 2009, 21:23
Seem to be a fair number of newbie GTI owners living in Hertfordshire!!  I know St Albans pretty well and presume because of its proximity to London where the big wages are paid that maybe most of you are in that boat.  Not that I'm knocking any of you just interested to see that there are more peeps on here from Hertfordshire than anywhere else. :grin:

Yesterday I drove from South Cambridgeshire to Reading for a business meeting. I did not see a single MK6 GTI over that trip until I got back home to Herts where I saw a red 3 door and a gleaming black 5 door parked up. Definitley minted in Herts  :cool:

Was that you yesterday Matchboy? Mid afternoon in Royston?

I put Cambridge because thats where I work and I was paranoid about disclosing where I live after the MK5 got nicked from off the drive a couple of months ago. I actually live in Herts and you all seem fairly trustworthy  :undecided:

I used to live in Hertfordshire - moved to Sussex in 1988.

The scary bit is, I just paid fractionally more for this new car than I paid for my (brand new) flat in Hatfield in 1982.

Seems totally mental that you could have bought a house about 20 years ago for the same price of a car today.  My mums house in St Albans cost £6000 in 1962 and sold for £250,000 in 2006, one of the dearest counties to live in England mind you here in North Yorkshire we aren't far behind these days.
