Title: My Fast
Post by: Brando13 on 30 May 2007, 01:20: Ok does anyone know what im talking about when i say my fast? When i went to the dealer he looked at me like i was crazy. Its a little toy figurine you get when you purchase a GTI. At leaste back in the states you did... Here is a link that will show what im talking about.

Nice to hear I'm not the only one asking about this.
Emailed my dealer about a week ago to ask wether South Africans would be getting this funky little thing and he never replied (This is normal behaviour, give it a month or so and i will have an answer for you) :shocked:

AS far as I know only the U.S MArkets get this toy since it was part of the marketing campaign for the GTI.
I dont think neither the UK or SA get a fast though.
Try look for one on Ebay??

Let us know what you find out.

Post by: 08micsta on 30 May 2007, 09:18: I realise this is pathetic :angry:
And it is just a toy. But it gives the car a sort of menace. Its also something unique to the car and although it serves no purpose. I feel like I have to have one. :laugh:

Dam Americans..... Always having what I wanted :lipsrsealed:

Post by: 08micsta on 30 May 2007, 09:35: Considering the hype on VWVortex it would seem that they are in VERY high demand. So cahnces are you probably might not find one.

Post by: AlanD on 30 May 2007, 22:07: It's to do with the GTi adverts in the states. Can be found on youtube. Not available over here I'm guessing as the adverts where not shown here.
