 :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Who'd have thought that one of my requirements when I was picking a GTI wouldn't be DSG, leather or similar....

"I'd like one that doesn't catch fire, please".

I'm not laughing at the chaps who have had fires, BTW.

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

It's only the -55 versions that catch fire I think.
