My New Golf GTD arrives next week...

[knobby]

Well its been a while since I last posted a new topic on this forum. I've been over on the R32OC for a few years...

2 weeks ago I decided enough was enough and the MK5 R32 I currently own was costing me too much money to own, what with £700+ a year to insurance, £460 a year to tax, £300-400 a year to service and then the fuel on top. So I went to my local VW dealer and looked at the Golf GTD, I immediately knew I wanted one and was going to buy one. I then found out about the 20-25 week build time, I told the sales guy there was no way I was waiting that long so he jumped on his system and found a brand new GTD that was suitable at another dealers...  Well one week on the car is going to be with the dealer next week, it will have it PDI and then add a couple of dealer fit options and I will be able to pick it up towards the end of next week... 25 weeks down to one..  Result!!!

I picked a 3 door candy white, which will be identical to the below car..



I really really really want the Vancouver 18" alloys though, so they might come at a later date..

Nice one, welcome to the fold 

When will it be ready then?

[knobby]

Thanks...

Fingers crossed Friday/Saturday...  Its got to be transported down from another dealers, so hopefully Monday/Tuesday they will get that sorted.

Keith mate, I don't know what your doing with your diesel but your car can't be using it - even Snoops gets 52 MPG from his GTI going to work and back

I'm doing nothing outrageous Doc its just 70% local trips in a 30mph but on a motorway I generally cruise at 80-90mph but it still shows 50mpg on the MFD. As I said in another thread

I did my monthly fill up the other day and my calc says its gone from 42mpg to 46.5mpg on the last fill up I'm driving it no differently than I've always drove it. So it must be loosening up a bit more now?

So this will depend on the type of driving that knobby does?

[The Doc]

Never a truer word said - driving style and duty are the making or breaking of MPG.
