Title: Where are they now?
Post by: gizzywizzy on 10 June 2011, 18:54
When we were all near to collecting our new GTI's peeps on here were compiling lists of who was getting what ie 3 door/5 door, DSG or manual, colours etc and there were quite a few names on the list that never comment on the forum, so I was wondering what happened to them did they ever get their cars or gave up as a bad job.  Would be interesting to find out.

PS WHAT HAPPENED TO JAMES (I can't make my mind up) GOULD?

James Gould is still in his hallway choosing which pair of shoes to wear to the dealership. The rest are possibly now driving vauxhalls and peugeots

James could not make up his mind about anything very quickly as he is an overly cautious person. He drove us to distraction and distruction sometimes. It was all quite hilarious.
A couple of us lost control whilst advising him. Concentric circles kept increasing and we lost the will to live.
Then he p!ssed off once he collected his car. Typical.  :rolleyes:

Here is a taster or two ........  :grin:

She is still clearing last winters snow!
I am sure when she returns she will have a savoury tale to tell.  :wink:

I think Morag is busy plotting overthrowing the English invaders and thus neglecting us.  :sad:

I didn't get involved in the James Gould saga, in fact when I saw a thread with his name on it I just went and found a wall to bang my head on! Was he real or just a wind up?

Hi Andy. I think James was real. It all kicked off when I was a novice member and the experience has affected me for life.
I was re-reading his posts last night and they are classics. It is quite amazing that he could not decide on any aspect of his order.
Must send him an e-mail soon!

Probably take him a month to decide whether to reply or not.  :grin:

James was real i went and looked at his car at the dealership and took photos of it for him. I also see his car every so often around Newcastle.

No idea what happened to the rest of the people on my order thread  :undecided:

Does James actually live in Newcastle or does he just drive through there when he can't make his mind up where to go?

He lives there and works at North Trust. He is an accountant I gather.
