However the single biggest reason I went GTI is image. I'm sure every area of the country is different, but around West Yorkshire the R is generally driven by complete chav idiots. Zero class, baseball cap wearing morons. It's like a magnet for them for some reason. Same a little bit in the GTD, but the GTI you never really see it.

I've borrowed a track suit, a baseball cap and a crack pipe to use today when I go out in my GTD.

I'll see you out there, presumably you are the one with the top hat and the corgis?

I was leaving a car park yesterday and there was a GTi parked in between two parking spaces with a van parked on either side of it about 2" away from it. To make it worse the GTi was parked rear up against the wall so I'm not sure how the owner was going to get into his car.

The two guys that parked the vans were pissing themselves laughing. I asked them how long were they parking there for and they said they were on their way to the pub and wouldn't be moving them until tomorrow.
