Creepy you are right mate................

........anyway the last girlfriend pleaded with me to drive the GTI..............I used it as a bargaining tool .........she could drive the car ....... "if"  etc etc
Unfortunately she never did get to drive it :cry:

But hey a Mark 5 GTI has to be better than sex any day!

:grin: :grin: :grin: diesels WILL rule the world  :grin: :grin: :grin: just a matter of time!!

....Diesel engines are too heavy and expensive to manufacture in the long term. Also, they aren't exactly environmentally friendly either. Diesel will disappear when petrol does, I reckon.

They arent enviromentley friendley. Yet when it comes to tax my diesel its alot less to pay in tax than the gti petrol.
Diesel power all the way

Cass mate.... at my (our) age you can't be too choosy !!!  Most come with a white stick. At least they can't run away too fast. Still the GTI out paces the wheelchairs and shopping baskets....and if I pull up at bus stops they have a tough decision as to whether to jump in or use their free bus passes.

....but the Laser blue passion wagon is a good talking point babe magnet  !!!

I wouldn't let it worry you. 

She was probably told by a previous boyfriend (who was stuck with a diesel company car) that diesels were faster nowadays.  (they usually are faster than the equiv petrol version in most model ranges)

I'd take it as a complement, she probably liked the car.

I took mine in to a dealer today because I thought it was too noisey after comparing to ROB-MRK5... turns out it needs a new "valve" (not sure which one: part number:08A130757C plus it also needs an ECU update) - will get this done soon as possivble and then hopefully back to a slightly less noisey engine!
Mk 5 GTi, Tornado Red, Leather, Xenons, 18" Monza II's, Sunroof, 6CD in Armrest, Winter pack & Tinted Windows... soon to be adding ED30 front spoiler, plus R32 sideskirts... then getting fully colour coded!
New engine fitted when car was at 27k... last one went "noisey".
