Post by: pryda on 18 June 2013, 20:59
I know a few of us got involved in this issue, and I was especially pleased with the coverage of mine so thought I would show the pictures that were taken...

this is a fantastic magazine as well I must say. I spent most of my sunday afternoon reading it from cover to cover. as I've said before, I never really bother with magazines with the wealth of info available over the net. but this magazine gives something a little extra and I found it really informative. I would urge people to make a point of purchasing this month for the GTi special issue, especially with it being GTi International shortly.

Magazine can be purchased digitally from Wednesday this week here: http://www.volkswagendrivermag.co.uk/

Great pics. Candy White looks so good and agree totally with the colour coded lip.

I am confused though, was the car was alreay remapped to 270bhp when you bought it ?

Did you not think it was a bit quicker than it should be ?

thanks mate. yeah pics were at haigh hall. it was a last minute decision as we were struggling for ideas on a location. to be honest, I think the pics would have been great anywhere considering the weather on the day.

great features all round mate. spent most of my sunday afternoon reading what everyone had contributed to the issue.

no had no idea about the map. even when I was asked before it went on the rollers I advised it was a stock engine. as said in the feature, I'd been driving a 130bhp TDi for the previous 4 years so the increase in power felt great but I wasn't really able to gauge it against a stock mk6 as it was the only 1 I had test driven.
