It must just be me then, It took me a while to realise that the GTD is faster than the GTI and I think maybe I'll just need to give in and accept that the GTD is a more desirable car than the GTI.

So to recap. The GTD is faster than the GTI and the GTD is also a more desirable car.

Who would have thought.

Who said it was quicker? :grin:

Not you. It was said by all the GTD owners on a previous thread. I had to also give in on that one and accept that fact. Don't you go saying the GTI is faster now.
Name & shame them ?

Tiguan quicker than the Golf

I am going to trade my GTi for an R as it is sooo quiet and refreshingly boring on that forum. :evil:

Think he may well have had the other stuff retro fitted. Also he got it when VAT was 15% and there has been 2 price rises sinse so probably over 7% cheaper back then!
Staying off topic for a while [again]
The basic GTI was about £23500 when I started looking at them last August, that's without any extras. No way you could get one for £21300, and if the other stuff was retro fitted it will have cost him a lot more. [LED's are retro but other stuff probably not]

I'm f**kcing telling u I paid £21300 for my gti thru an Internet broker. You can kiss my arse

AND as or you thinking my LED's are retro but the other stuff probably not try asking stevep who supplied and fitted the rearview camera and leds, the dodgy polish bloke who sold me the RNS510 and mortygt140 who coded the unit for me. DONT POST REPLY'S WHEN YOU DONT KNOW THE FACTS PR1CK oh sorry rick!!

jealous cos you probably got ripped off by a dealer


Classic, you dont get this type of aggro on the MK4 forum :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

On the subject of trackers - if my car gets nicked, ragged around the block, driven into hedges, kerbs and other cars, I don't particularly want it back. So no, I don't have a tracker.

As for the rest of the thread - is it a full moon today or something?  :huh:

Over 90% of cars that were stolen and recovered with CobraTrak were not damaged. They monitor the cars location using gps and gsm technology and dont send police hurling after them as they know where the car is but wait for the person to return with the keys and turn the ignition and some gimp the thief pays a few quid to.

Its more likely to be driven like a tool through hedges and over kerbs and into other cars if its being chased by the rozzers. But CobraTrak dont usually let the coppers chase it they just monitor the location of the vehicle and sit and wait for the person to get in the car or get out of the car.

Most of the time I've got a camera trained on Wolfgang to make sure he does not mess around with other b!tches on the street! :laugh:
