Where are all the GTI's?!
« on: 09 March 2010, 15:37 »
Having seen a good 3 or 4 when i got mine last Sept, i have now not seen one (and neither has the missus) on my/our travels for about 3 months!  where have you all gone?!  At one stage Hertfordshire was the GTI capital of England and now it appears its just me on my lonesome!!

I've only seen about six MKVI GTI's ever; two black, three white and a red one.

I've only seen one R - but that was in a VW showroom!   :drool:

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?

Go for a drive around the M25 - there's hundreds of Mk6's on there, including GTI's and GTD's.

I think I've only seen about 3 in newcastle  -  seen an R on the road  -  I hope it all bodes well for used prices when we come to sell but I guess that within a few months, we'll see more around  -  when the Gti
Mark V first came out, were they as rare as the Mark VI is now?

i will be frequenting that road for a few weeks in April - i look forward to seeing the other GTI's.  Not bothered about the GTD's though he he  :laugh:
