When I get my GTI I'll go round roundabouts with it, will it be a roundabout car ?

Boring. Like you.

I'm sorry, I forgot that a tweaked FWD Golf is the bestest drivers car in the whole wide world and worthy of true hypercar status, and should not - under ANY circumstances - EVER be used for doing such mundane tasks as fetching the shopping, or some of the cotton-wool wrapped owners with delusions of grandeur will get upset.

I think I've got it now. Silly me.

without harping back to a previous discussion, you're original point was that the GTI was a shopping car.  not a car that you use for shopping, going to work, going to the football etc etc.  you said it was just for shopping.  which is why the discussion started!!   :smiley:

But that's what I would use one for. Basic running about and shopping trips.
Not for going to work...or trackdays...just boring stuff - like fetching the shopping.

so the GTI is a running about and shopping car.  not just a shopping car as previously stated?  anyways, we agreed that each to their own!   :laugh:

but its still not a shopping car   :laugh: :wink:

Ahh...you've got me there.
I suppose I'd forgotten that running about between shopping centres/shops could be deemed as running about, not actual shopping.
I'll have to revise my view now.

The GTi is completely versatile.  It does whatever you want.  It defies labels.

It's not a people-carrier, or a motor-home, but it seems to me it will do most other jobs quite competently.

You've gone and done it now, your past few responses have been very classy, factual and informative to a point. Then you do and post that ? What were you thinking.

Ha! Pot? Kettle? black?
Have you remembered what you wrote over the last few pages?
Perhaps you should re-read before you point the finger at me.  :rolleyes:
