Glad Topgear is back  :kiss:
Hopefully we will get new episodes in SA too.
IMO Topgear loves the GTI. Clarkson raves about it and any excuse for them to use it they do.

Bravo to Topgear :smiley:

Read review of W12 on evo.co.uk.. apparently it is hardly drivable at all, but it is a project car, so no big deal

Why would they mention Ed30? It's no big change from GTI.. unless you remap it

*faints* :shocked:

Didnt they do the edition30 a while back anyway?

The W12 was a bit of a dog weren't it? It seems as though VW have really just cobbled it together. I know its only a "project" car but even so... they still shouldn't have rushed it through.

W12 was made just to show to GTI crowd at the GTI meeting in Austria. So all kudos to VW

I think Phil was referring to the fact that Jezza said that VW had forgotten to do something for the GTI's 30th, when in actual fact they had done the ED30. :smug:
