I think you might be my Scottish brother from another mother Craig, I was gonna make the same joke about the GTD, we are accountants - and both drive a TT....spooky!

Great minds think alike Mark!  :grin: :grin:

I thought it was fools fail to differ!

That's probably closer to the truth  :grin:

Clarkson must have a gti this week looking at his latest tweet !!!

I don't twitter, what was the tweet from the marmite man?  Thanks  :nerd:

Posted a picture of a MK7 dashboard showing his mpg or something in London traffic.

Does anyone know what the button he is talking about does? "Auto Hold" it says. Has changed his already written review apparently.

Looks like its the HOLD button.
I imagine he spends most of the review whinging about some trivial feature, probably the electric parking brake in this case.
The review is probably for his Sunday Times column rather than top gear I'd imagine? If so, there'll be a paragraph on the car and 2 pages of inane waffle before that.

I'm pretty sure it won't be shown on the TV but could be in the Times yeah.  A while back I looked for a list of cars TG were reviewing this series and the GTI wasn't on it.  Not sure if they bring stuff in unannounced, but they'd have to bump something else then and I'm guessing they can't do that as they'd have agreed to the review with the manufacturer in order to get the cars.
