Quite possibly is me then, I work at the brewery and take to A38 to/from work. What colour is your GTI?

Which of the breweries? I have worked for both at some point in time, one before it was taken over by the lot down in the west midlands and the other in 2011 as they implemented SAP...

Now I am working for another business that was associated with Bass back in the day but makes soft drinks instead

I saw two dozen or so GTDs in France, Holland and Germany recently. Most seemed to be company vehicles.

Not a single GTI.

Saw that one on Friday morning as I was coming into Royston. Sounds like our journeys cross. I'm in a 3-door CG GTD.


I think I've seen you!  Yay, at last someone I can look out for on the forum!!  I'm in a TR GTI plate LR63 - I'll keep an eye out for you!!

I'm RV14***, I think I've seen you too, LR63 seems familiar. Will keep more of an eye out!  :cool:

Me too, I'll be prepared to wave lol!

Tungsten R on the Ferry Rd Edinburgh. Almost missed it...dont feel...and this is my opinion so no pelters please....but I felt it had no road presence. Just looked like a bog standard car in that colour where as the blue/red/black stands out and looks more agressive. Just not my cup of tea but each to their own

I know what you mean. I passed a Limestone R on Canning St in Edinburgh the other day and almost missed it. The front of the R is just too subtle for my liking - if I was going for an R (which I sort of wish I was, but couldn't justify the extra cost) it would definitely need to be in Lapiz blue to set it apart from GT and Bluemotion Golfs.
