Went up at 8 and took the Ed30 on a slow drive through silent and empty streets of Zurich, to office to have a coffee. The red lights were not working so nothing impeded the below 30mph drive. There were few cars on the streets. I was looking at my car in the shops' windows (love doing that :embarassed: )...
Suddenly there it was - the gray Ed30 with black wheels. :kiss: It felt great to see another member of the small clan of Ed30s. :laugh: Going back I came face to face with a white Ed30 just like mine. :cool: Could not help but to salute the driver with a blink of headlights, got a salute back. That warmed my heart. :kiss:
Stopped to get some croissants for my sweety GF sleeping at home, and saw a black styled GTI with black Eta-Beta wheels. :tongue: Looked supreme!
GTIs on the prowl in Zurich this morning. :laugh:

Sounds like the Night Driving advert
Tick follows tock............ :laugh:
-
but the GTi would have been a Better car rather then the not so good GT in that advert, they should do another advert to promote the GTi/ ed30

no, please, no Ed30 promotions. It feels great not seeing so many of them on the roads.

Sonds like ED30s are common in Zurich. :wink:

Ed 30's are common everywhere

oooohhhh.........depends where you live. I saw one this week. The last one I saw was a couple of months ago and that was Mrs BMX.
I have seen (on the road) 4 in total since Feb. I've seen more Audi RS4s than that. :grin:

They can't be that common. According to the ED30 register on UKMKIV's there are only 51 :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Oh BTW if anyone has an ED30 and hasn't registered. Click on the link

Couldnt believe i spotted 4 GTi's today on the way up the M3 heading to brent park IKEA wembley, 2 steel grey,1 black ed30 and a 55 plate shadow blue R32!!!, (Didnt realise they did that colour for the R32) anyone on here spot me?????.and yes saw a black RS4 avant, chased him down the m3, he got fed up of me sitting on his arse!, i just wanted to hear that V8 go!

Ed30s are not really common here compared to other cars, but one can assume they will get more and more common. GTIs are not so common either, but, as well, there are more of them now than 3 months ago, going by the number of noticed cars. :smiley:
It is imperative to separate oneself from standard Ed30 crowd now. Ottinger/Milltek/Eibach - here we come! :nerd:

I've seen some new R32s here. They look bulky to me.
Yesterday I've seen two Lambo Gallardos - yellow :drool: and orange. Also saw two RS4s. Saw M5, the driver floored it from the red light and took a corner, there was wheel spin and a very thin engine sound, I was surprised! Porsche Carrera 4S sounds much nicer than M5 from low RPMs. Saw four 4S just last evening. :drool:

Oh, that aint mine - yet! :wink:
Dosh is a little tight at the mo, and I'm waiting for successful reports of a durable "black" finish to the exhaust tips from Milltek, before taking the plunge.
Mine does sound very similar, even when standard though. And when you press the "sport" button, and open her up through some of the long tunnels in the Alps, it actually makes the hairs on your neck stand on end! :evil: :evil:

Live in south London am I am yet to see an ED30 on the street. Not common at all round here.
-
Well I have had mine since May and not seen another one yet so not common at all in sunny Wilts :smug:

Quick question
As there are only 1500 ED30's allocated for the UK Market are they allocated a number, i.e certificate withe what number build you are?
-
i know of 4 ed30's round me, as well as many normal ones too, i think more peeps are buying the GTi's in 2nd hand form, and seem to be alot more common then a year ago

No :angry:
However UKMKIV's are trying to get a register going.
