I now have Ted and your GTI in print form!  :smiley:

Famous Ted! I'd have thought they would've preferred someone to be a bit more techy in their opinion so I was a bit surprised they took mine, perhaps they didn't have too many to choose from?! Haven't even seen it myself yet!
Techy is boring. Your article was witty and amusing so I can see why Mr Birkett chose yours. Plus the pic of Ted of course.
The car looks great in the pics btw.

That looks like a Citroen Craptus.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Yeah  :rolleyes:
What I cut out was the drive to the lights. The Audi was up my ass for a fair bit as someone was in the right hand lane and turning right.
I was never going to race him but just wanted a flier off the lights.
I don't think the GPS was accurate as it was easily another 10mph onto that when I looked down in a 30 zone.
Close shave.

 :embarrassed: Its amazing how many expletives are heard on it. And I thought I was a chilled out driver  :laugh:
At the time I thought they were going to pull me as I was the car in front for most of the way along the road which has a clear sight.

C'mon Craig we all have our guilty pleasures  :laugh:
