Went for my usual cycle yesterday. But since my dad has just paid a :sick: amount of money for my bike to be fixed I decided to ride to his offices and thank him personally and not just over the phone (Im in a hostel).
For anyone who knows Cape Town somewhat well they will prob know where Observatory is. my fathers business is on Lower Main Road and while taking the turn off I got distracted by a metallic baby blue object that was parked further up the road.
Went closer and saw a stunning Mini Cooper. So naturally I whip out my camera and snap some pics and its at that stage when I see the United Grey GTI parked behind the Mini :evil:
Wow. 5 door GTI with R32 tails lowered suspension, 17's (and they looked really good) and then a fat exhaust out the rear. From the outside you could see the red pipes etc through the grill. So I couldnt resist the urge. I snapped some pics of the GTi and walked in the garage. Wow. Inside they had a new TT with huge pipes and carbon and everything. It looked stunning along with a M6 that was being modified. My first thought was of RedRobin :rolleyes:. I asked one of the mechanics how much power the GTi was pushing and...........
His reply was.....
310 KW of power :evil: :evil: :evil: (Standard GTI)
The company that did the modifications is called racetech and thay said they have done faster GTI's including a GTi with a R32 Engine and 4 wheel drive. :laugh:
Made my day... I would post pics but being the fool I am I forget the memory card at home and was taking pics of nothing. :grin:.

GTI with R32 engine and 4x4 :huh:

Sounds quite interesting but...whats the point?? Just buy yourself an R32 xD
-
the point? manu_gti. south africa only got the r32 about 4 months ago. and the waiting list is almost 2 years! so a r32 in a gti most certainly aint pointless. not to sure where they got the engine etc from. but anyway. point is..... i want that gti!
