Ive just been to Chesterfield for a meeting , driving from the Sleaford area across past Newark and Mansfield , 60 miles each way , loads of traffic but saw not one GTI or R32 . a couple of GTs in Mansfield area but nothing else . How rare are these cars , there dont seem to be many in these parts at all ?
-
i saw a few last weekend when i was doing some miles, about 6 or 7 over the whole weekend but dont see many at all through the week. :smiley:

I see far more GT's on the road than GTI's.

Loads of the little B*ggers around (GTs that is) . I see one GTI in a moring on the way to work. :afro:
Mind you I did flash him once (head lights mind) and I got a funny look back :embarassed:
-
i have the only GTI in the village :grin:

I see loads in the south / south east London area on my commute to work. There is a silver ED30 which I see daily in the traffic.

I was! Until some women down the road took delivery of a 57 plate GTI a couple of months back! I wave when I see her driving it but always get a funny look back... :rolleyes:

Don't worry mate. You'll soon see me flying about soon. :evil: As I live in Lincoln and do silly miles all over the county.. :wink:
I'm working in Manchester today and on the M60 I must of seen about 7 GTI's in the space of about 5 mins whilst I was on the way to the hotel.. Must be GTi capital.. :grin:
-
could have bin me, use the M60 everyday
-
No it wasn't mate.. All standard GTI's i'm afraid, no Ed30's.. I even went to the dealer in Stockport quickly to see if they had any ED30's in, just to have a perv over, but nope.. :sad:
I'll keep my eyes peeled for ya though fella... :wink:
-
I do a run on the M25, M1, M6 about four times a month and usually only notice one or two GTi's in that time - a few other Golfs though.
One thing - xenon headlamps - absolutely fantastic at picking out the flourescent stickers on the sides of police cars :rolleyes: :laugh:
-
I have seen 5 r32's (2 blacks, 3 blues), 3 ed30's (a red, white and black) and 5 gtis (blue, 2 white, silver and red)... lol
One thing to note is in the gti/ed30's its been mostly young (18-28ish) female drivers, in the r32's they have all been males of at least 40.

I think I'll move to Glasgow :laugh: for the GTi drivers there, not the R32 owners, he quickly adds :laugh: :embarassed:

too many GT's around, there are loads on my commute!!

Im only 28!! TBH i see mostly women driving R32's. I actually got stopped in a car park by a woman who decided it would be a good time to tell me that she has an R32 at home and how its the best car ever!!
-
And I'm 27.. its right though, most of the other R32s I see are being driven by older guys. Still haven't seen an ED30 other than going to shows. The roads are crawling with GT sports though.
-
Have only seen 1 gt myself, oap female driving it.

If you'd have been a bit further north into Sheffield you would have been tripping over GT's and spotting a fair few GTI's too.
Only seen a couple of ED30's round here in the last year though :cool:
-
i see quite a few Gti's in Notttingham/ Hucknall , i dont see any ED30's though, or white ones :evil:
-
OK...Doncaster calling...here are my results..
Quite a lot of GT sports... A couple of GTI's... NO ED30,s and definately aint seen a white GTI... :cool:
-
GT golfs are a cheap option if its a company Car, the tax band is alot less then the GTi , hense why so many youngish reps drive round in them giving you long looks when u pass in a GTi :smug:. GT golfs down here out number GTi's by about 7-1
-
Im the only 1 with a 3dr black GTI around here :smug:
See alot of GT's and only seen a few 5dr GTI's in red, silver, black and grey.
Only 1 ED30 and thats in red.
I must say, all the other GTI drivers stare at mine now - i bet they are thinking there something different about that one. And they are right because mine is fully colourcoded, r32 rear lights and a matt black front grill VW badge :evil:
