Oh Rolfe if you're still struggling with colour choice, here's a pic of mine, remember that less red cars are involved in accidents than any other colour and it's a free colour!

Thank you (takes bow)

It's hot and sunny one minute and the next a dirty great grey cloud keeps going over, chucking a few large drops of rain over my washing, then clearing off again. Typical British summer's day I guess.

And gossa: That's because red cars are driven by nutters and everyone gives 'em a wide birth!!!  :evil:
I don't normally like red cars but the mk5.5 mk6 looks ace in that colour.

Mines a manual and loving it, very slick box.  My Rocco was DSG and even though I appreciate the benefits I did find myself just bimbling along in it in drive so decided to go back to the more involved experience of a manual. Even using the paddles I found the DSG a bit 'uninvolving' if you know what I mean, almost robotic.

Thanks everyone for some really friendly and helpful posts.  You better bet I'm entitled to purchase a GTi - had one for 11 years plus, gimme a break.  If you lot even concede that the Peugeot counts....
