Congrats on your purchase Skippy. When you get a second, I’m sure we’d love to see some photos of your new Isaac Blue GTi!  👍🏾

Thank you Andy! I will sort some out!

@Skippy, if you keep this car anywhere near as long as your last, I wouldn't worry about residuals.
Anyway, most cars on the road are ICE, very few are EV. It will take a generation to reverse even after ICE production ends.With a bit of luck, we'll all be dead by then. :grin:

Haha, yes just shy of 11 years was not bad going, I doubt there are too many on here that keep cars that long. Much that I miss my ‘Roc now, it is great to be in something different, really enjoying the performance and the chassis handling is superb!

I digress off topic, yes, I should not be too concerned with residuals, this new world of motoring will take a generation to switch around. The Golf GTI will live well into the EV era, but high emitting vehicles and your standard run of the mill models may quickly become effectively worthless.

As you say, perhaps we will 6ft under anyway by the time we need to worry.

Perhaps I will keep it till 2031 then buy my ID3!  :grin:

Yeah don't be too worried, you've just bought a great car!!

My boss just purchased a brand new supercar and got a Tesla 3 Performance a few months ago - guess he's embracing EV and enjoying ICE at the same time  :grin:
