As a proud owner of my Ed30 ,we are not SNOBS,AND JUST LIKE TO OWN AND DRIVE SOMETHING DIFFERENT MAYBE NOT UNIVERSALLY LIKED AND RATED BUT ONCE YOU ACTUALLY OWN ONE AND DRIVE IT YOU THEN FEEL THAT THESE PEOPLE MAY HAVE BEEN WRONG............................................ :cool:
HOLDING BACK THE TEARS IN PRIDE ALL EDITION 30 OWNERS TO READ :cry:
-
ive heard it all now! :sick:
-
it must be something to do with that nasty red piping on the floor mats :grin:
-
1 is somewhat amused.
I will give my rear end a jolly good buffing in preperation for a thourough good drilling :smug:
-
Damn... I didn't get an invitation because I sold my Edition 30 - but I have one on order due for Ocotber delivery.... isn't that good enough to come?
-
YES no problems,is your old ed30 now on the Royal car fleet,im sure it was HRH and hubby driving one over the weekend :wink:
-
Wasn't there something about diplomatic immunity for ED30 owners :rolleyes:
I've always enjoyed immunity from being diplomatic :laugh:
-
Oh my word.........
^$&^$#^%@*)()&%%$^%$#^%
I think I am done now....
:sick:
-
this is a joke right!
-
I sure hope its not serious..... :grin: :sick:
-
WOULD ANY SELF RESPECTING ED30 OWNER LIE TO YOU,BY THE WAY HOW DO YOU ADDRESS THE QUEEN????? :evil:
-
$&^$^%@%#*^))(&)(*()*(&)^%%^#^%#
:sick:
-

I bet the Palace has asked for his invite back! :laugh: :laugh:
-
this is madness. seriouslly mad!
why's it madness? I got my invitation this morning and I don't even have an Edition 30 anymore. By the way, the thing about the knighthood is a joke, but we all have an appointment with Her Majesty. She's quite a avid VW fan it turns out and the Edition 30 has captured her imagination, hence the invite.
-
this is a joke right!
nope, its quite serious - see my previous post. I can bring a friend, so if you want to come along let me know. But you have to own a GTI with full VW service history of course - any Mk will do.
-
i got my e30 comin end of july if on time... will i recieve an invite? LOL, this still sounds like a joke ! :laugh:
-
Only £22500 for the edition 30 , i thought the resales values where ment to be way higher then standard GTi's, looks like i was right in saying there would be no difference between whether you have one with nasty red piping or not!.(also Volkswagen.co.uk used search is the same). That means ill have to shell out for an edition 30 just so that i can say , ive had tea with elizabeth on the lawn!! :wink:
-
Got my invite today. Can anyone tell me if it's formal as it doesn't mention it on the invite :undecided:
Oh by the way, I understand she wanted a special order one in........Blue!
-
i havnt got an invite :cry:
i think its really funny the way there are so many bitter normal gti drivers on here :grin:

The last VW Her Majesty fell in love with was the mk2..............She especially liked the blue one then :grin:
We all went in shorts and T-shirt :laugh:

When I first read this post I thought it was a joke... But hey. you lucky sods.
of course you could just stick a body kit and get your car chipped and fit Pescara's and show up without an invitation :rolleyes:
Enjoy guys
-
The calm before the storm. Soon there will be all out war between GTi and ED30.
By the way to anyone that doesnt know this clearly is a joke !

You make me laugh Phil. One minute you hate the ED30, next minute you'll buy one when the prices drop, next minute the misses says you can't have it despite wanting it, next minute it's crap!
I'm happy with my GTi as the saving over an ED30 enabled me to buy a house, and I've never really gone in for tuning cars so the ability to get 310bhp doesn't matter to me.

It is obvious Phil really really wants Ed30, he is just coming up with different explanations in order to soothe the pain of not having Ed30. :evil:
What I find incredible is that you are not tempted by the possibility of having 300hp in your command! :shocked:

More to the point, I'm not interested in trying to insure 300bhp. Or to wipe out my warranty.
-
Thing is (and this is not an inflammatory comment, more of a question) can the ED30 handle 310BHP? Extra power is no good without better underpinnings...
Personally I like the both the ED30 and the GTi, I went for the GTi as I couldn't afford the ED30 - simple choice for me.. :smiley: I must say that I do prefer the body coloured coding on the ED30 and I reckon VW should have done that on all GTi's... i just dont't like the unpainted skirts black bits... but that is a personal preference.
As for the ED30 v GTi bickering, it's the same as "my dad is harder than your dad" type arguments that always going on in school... and here was I thinking we grew out of them as we got older :wink:

True, but it's not for me. If I wanted a faster car I'd of bought a faster car.

but it wouldn't be a GTi...
anyway, whatever

HI guys,
already purchased a formal suit for the big day its a metallic silver colour to go with my car with red piping on the trousers resembling the tasteful floormats on the Ed30,what are you all wearing????
-
I have been and bought a new hat with matching handbag and stilletos, trouble is they do snag the mats!
-
I've got a great corgi skin suit, with matching handbag. It's amazing how they've used the tail for the handle, I'm sure the queen will be VERY impressed! :grin:
-
Im so pleased that all the invited Edition 30 owners are taking this issue seriously,I keep reading my invite almost twenty times a day, im still in shock.. :cry:moments like this its proud to be British..
-
I cant justify spending out at least 12 grand to get a version of a GTi that i currently already own,(housemove and Baby Arrival) i dont want a basic spec ed30 cus i think that would be very backward move. Im not gutted as all you edition 30 owners would think i am and keep harping on or jumping on the band wagon about it, .If i didnt discover the VW GTi last september then i guess i would of looked into it, but im in no way disapointed with what i have, and thats something is my pride and joy, and its blue! so sorry to piss on the bonfire so to speak
-
...or even bonfire.
-

I have bought white pants, shoes and a jacket, and black tight t-shirts.
And I also have black-red-white t-shirt, polo, and sweater, all with red GTI logo on the chest. :smiley:

blue is great, I give you that :cool:

I'm going for a more understated look. Steel grey dinner jacket with red piping and red stitching, and half leather sleeves.

By the way to anyone that doesnt know this clearly is a joke !
What do you mean its a joke? :angry: I got my invite and it was embossed in gold with the offical Royal stamp on it. You must be one of those jealous normal/inferior GTI owners who can't accept that you're not invited to the party :grin:

There are some who probably do... :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
There'ill probably be a petition on the 10 Downing St website asking why standard GTI owners aren't invited :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

I haven't got anything to wear - spent all my money on the Ed 30... I'll have to go naked - au naturel. :evil:
-
Ive decided to go in traditional Scottish wear......so that'd be the ED30/GTI family tartan kilt with a leather and red piped sporran. The jacket and shoes colour coded of course :wink:

I have only the t-shirt and sweater, I have no VW pants. So I guess I go naked from waist down... Hope the queen will not get a heart attack from seeing my HUGE equipment. :smug:

equipment Peskarik is spelt EGO :wink:

Nothing wrong from the south. In fact I would go as far as to say that even my MKIV GTi is harder than his, purley because its from the south.

I am afraid Her Majesty will get a heart attack from seing my HUGE EGO.. and equipment. :smug:

Tell you what, lets get your ED30 and my GTi and ram them head on at 60mph... who ever gets out and manages to walk away wins... :wink:

ITS JUST HIT ME.
THE REASON THE EDITION 30 WAS NEVER GIVEN SERIAL NUMBERS SUCH AS THE OTHER ANNIVERSARY MODELS,BECAUSE IT WILL BE GIVEN THE ROYAL CREST (BY APPOINTMENT TO HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN).
SO I PRESUME THAT I CAN NOW DISPLAY THE CREST ON THE BONNET..... :evil: :laugh:
-
I got my invite as well. Gave details of the event with timings and gave a list of all edition 30 owners, who will be knighted! All in alphabetical order. I will be wearing my traditional clothing (shalwar chamise) with the tartan pattern and red piping around the cuffs, and edition 30 written in my mother tongue (urdu)!!!! :grin: :laugh:
