My GTI keeps me young!
« on: 02 May 2011, 18:07 »
The idea for this thread has been shamelessly lifted from the US forum. Should inject a bit of fun and help promote bonding or bondage, which ever takes your fancy.  :kiss:

I'll start:
I am seasoned citizen, being 63 years young. The Manual GTI keeps me young, excited and enables me to use all my limbs. I also have a Mercedes C Class 350 CDI Sport 7 speed Auto which I don't give a toss about.

The love affair with the GTI keeps getting stronger on a daily basis and I am getting a bit concerned with this amorous relationship as is the rest of my family. Tough titties to one and all, I say. I'm up in cloud nine.  :smug:

I wonder if UK responses will be as eloquent and fun as those from the USA.

I'd say my 29 year old wife keeps me young  :wink:

My GTD keeps me busy with R&D, I really like my golf and it's perfect for it's roll but I love my land rover, every time I climb back inside I just feel at home, it does everthing well and you can do anything in it anywhere! Plus all of Max's stuff is easy to load into the back of it  :grin:

In short if it was going to be the golf or the disco it would be the golf going, but it's great to have both :shocked:

Well I'm not that far behind him at 55. I wouldn't say it keeps me young as I've always loved sporty cars and motor bikes. I didn't opt for the GTI as its a boy racer car with poor fuel con and they tend to get pinched a lot. The GTD suits me fine.

Diplomatic as ever  :grin:

I had to ditch my R1 and XJR1300 motorcycles when baby Max came along as per promise I made to myself when I started riding on the road, I have been looking around for a reasonable S/C Atom to replace them but they are hard to find in immaculate condition  :rolleyes:

My neighbour has an Atom and hardly uses it. I'll ask him if he wants to sell it when I next see him.  :smiley:

My GTI keeps me young(ish), mostly because it gives me an excuse to have a bit of childish banter with likeminded individuals on the forums where I've 'met' some great people. The car itself bores my arse off though! Well, it did before I added a few bits to it, now it's just slightly dull.  :grin:

I also own an elderly Ibiza GTI, I prefer it to the Golf to be honest, it's old and not immaculate so I don't have to worry about where I leave it. It has good alround visibility and makes a nice noise. It's also quite pretty and has character.
The only downsides are the fact that it's a bit slow and the ride is hard. So that GTI could keep me young I guess(?)

The last GTI I really liked was my black '91 8V GTI, I didn't realise how much I liked that car until I sold it - on my Birthday! I sat through my Birthday meal and couldn't eat a thing...... :cry: That was a good few years ago now and I've never become attached to a car since, they're all a bit dull.

Due to my ripe old age, I drive like a transexual lesbian granny with large hanging gynaeomastia which inevitably get in the way. The manner of Wolfgang's handling me and vice versa are a breath of fresh air and most invigorating for one who nearly lost the will to live a very charged and varied life. With the long horns of Bruckner Symphonies egging me on, I now feel like a hysterical but happy school girl.  :grin:

I am trying to instill some humour into this thread, but it seems an uphill struggle.  :sad:

I'd probably love my GTI more if it was a GTD DSG.
I know I'd love it more if it was a 22 year old blonde with a rich Dad, only trouble is that a 22 year old blonde would find me a bit dull......back to the drawing board.



By the way, what's a Bruckner, Asker?
