Trivial Fact Of The Day
« on: 23 August 2020, 10:53 »
There are 12 houses in our wee cul de sac.
25% of them own a GTI.
My grey 7.5 Performance, a white 7.5 Performance opposite and a green Mk3 in the corner.
No point other than it amuses me.
PS: I was first!
2019 5Dr Mk7.5 Performance DSG. Indium Grey with DCC (and TCR spoiler)

(Previously two Mk7 GTIs, Mk6 GTI and Mk6 GTD)

When I went to view my current house, of which there are seven houses in the cul de sac but only two were moved into (new builds) imagine my horror to see a Golf R parked on the drive of one of them!!
It felt like copycat central.
Thankfully once all the houses were occupied none of the others own a Golf!

Perhaps we are looking at this the wrong way round. I mean, why doesn't everyone have a Golf?!*

To be honest, the most produced car in history? Likely as not there are loads in your street....

In my street though the car everyone has is a Mini. I've got two on my drive at the moment and thats not even the most on a single drive in the street!

Luckily none of them are mine.

Along my road there is a mk7 R. Next road across there is a TCR and further along an RS3 for good measure
