Picked mine up today -1st ever GTi 😊
Congrats Phil, what do you think of it?
*********************************
Yesterday, which is almost today, I made a discovery.
Now I live out in the sticks I can get 41mpg average for most of my night time commute whilst stuck behind a dawdling oaf doing 35 mph all the way.
Yes, I was so bored I had the average MPG display up in the MFD.
I did say most of the journey.
Unfortunately when I got into the city I seemed to upset an R driver by overtaking him on a challenging bit of a dual carriageway (hi if you’re reading this!) bend.
This led to another discovery.
A manual Clubsport driven by a semi geriatric is massively slower off the line and slower full stop than a Golf R. I’m guessing it was DSG because he left me for dead.
Oh and my average consumption dropped 9 mpg after that childish spat
I promise to behave from now on.
