I had hoped that the black wheel arches would bring back the Mk1/Mk2 look but sadley it looks like a volvo C30  :sad:

Very vulgar looking cars IMO. :sick:
The only feature I like is the gloss black roof on the red car. :smiley:

The Edition 30 came out at the VERY END of 2006 - as the majority of them are 2007+
If there is to be an Edition 35 - which I'm sure there will be... surely it would be at the very end of 2011, with deliveries being 2012?
A run out model.
Saw 2 Golf Rs today. Black and Blue following each other. Quite fabulous.
Wish I had bought one instead. :sad: :angry:

Well buy one then:evil:


Not made of money you know. :rolleyes:
GTD would have been the sensible choice though. :grin:

Oh yes indeed it is!! :laugh:

Tiguan quicker than the Golf

Love that red, and I like the 'get the f**k out of my way' grilles in the bumper in lieu of foglights.
I like the skirts and lamin-x fogs on the yeller one (actually I quite like the yellow too)
I like the 350 ps of the white and blue one.

Mix n match for me please....... :smiley:
