Can't believe the number of people I know compared to a couple of years ago who now have hot hatch's, Meg 225's, Focus ST, Skoda VRS, Astra VXR, impreza etc, I think there has been a boom again in hot hatch sales? Don't know anyone with another GTi, yet anyway....mate want's mine though after a little blast around the block :grin:

I have a daughter who is 16 and a son 4 years younger who died when he was 4, so I know how to live for each day.

Post by: maxamus on 05 July 2007, 22:49: i am pleasently suprised at the ages of people on this forum who own a GTI :laugh:
I didnt realise most people are +40years of age. And there i was thinking the GTi was only enjoyed by people in their 20's. You devils :evil:

There is only 1 GTI in York where i work, i've seen it about 3 times. The guy driving it looks in his 50's or 60's. His GTI is exactly like mine; Black 3dr with 17's (i think). Boy he looks like a dude. Hats off to you sir :cool:

Locally, in stockton on tees where i live, i come across a red one (3dr) alot and it appears to be owned by a married middle aged couple.

Women sure do look HOT in a GTI :kiss:

They would look better in mine :grin:

Post by: yerdad on 06 July 2007, 21:26: I'm 42 later this year and thought that I was getting too old for a hot hatch but then I tried the GTi and thought 'this will be my last hot hatch. I really need to buy something a bit more sensible.'

I said that last time though... and the time before... :laugh:

Lets face it... You need a few years to get some no claims to make the insurance cheap enough for a GTI to be a realistic option.
