It's just a golf

[am1w]

I just say a GTI.

When I say GTI, they look at me and ask, what's that? I then have to say it's a fast Golf. It still does not register, so I normally give up and show them the car. It is quite wonderful to see their eyes widen. Then they want to sit in it. Now this is not something I encourage as they start fiddling with everything. The final reaction, oooooh, what lovely seats! Job done!

I just say 'GTi' as well.

My lad wants to be taken to school in the 'GTi' rather than the £40k Merc on the drive.

His mates ( 11 yrs old btw ) know him as the boy who's dad has a black 'GTi'

He is proud of that !

Yes I did bite on that comment, well nearly

Its a Sad, sad day when a non inflattamory comment which was actually a quote taken from a previous post in this thread is removed by the moderator who also happens to be GTD driver. Quotes was : "... a GTD which is a diesel version of a GTI."

The GTD owners have taken over this forum, not the place I wanted it to be when i joined 18 months ago.

Sorry guys, I am off.

Please don't go spartacus. There is a dedicated diesel section now.

The GTD was around years ago (mk1 , mk 2 I think).

For the mk 6 VW renamed the GT 160 (or 170) diesel to GTD. It's nothing new just clever marketing from VW as they realise how popular and iconic the GTI is.

If I had to buy a diesel for whatever reason then it would be a Mk6 GTD.

No. You are all wrong. Golf is a sport. Better believe it.

Now ladies, what is all this about inflationary comments being removed. Have a missed a cat fight?

Damn.
