Its not normal for me to see more than 2 or 3 GTI's on the road within a short space of time. But today whilst i was out doing my site surveys up at the A1079 Hull Road, York, i seen a canny few.
I seen:
- Black 3dr (07 Plate)
- Black 5dr (55 Plate)
- Black 5dr (parked up close to York centre)
- Darky sort of blue 5dr (turning onto A64)
- Silver 5dr
Was it anyone from here????
-

-
dont normally see that many within the space of 60min

“Canny†is a colloquialism particular to the North East of England and can be used as an adjective (rather than an adverb). For example, in this context it can be read “I saw a fair/good few…â€Â. Its use in this context is nearly always superfluous.

Sorry for stating the (apparently) obvious, only it seemed form your previous posts that you were oblivious to this use of the word canny. Or were you simply being facetious? I didn't pick up on it if you were.
