Thats a lovely looking motor. I must admit that I didnt like white at first (Much like I didnt like Pescaras at first) and its really grown on me.
Nice review of the car too. Hope you have a ball in it.

Hey Joesgti, that reminds me. I asked about a service after run-in, and the guy said there wasn't any need. (I did ask for an oil pack to top it up after reading about that on the forum). He seemed quite sure that the car'd be fine until the service (10k or whatever it is). Is that right?

Revo remap:... Now there's an idea. I shall keep it out of my mind till the spring, somehow. I must confess to liking the idea of the ED30 because its engine was a *detuned* version... how kind of VW to provide such a cracking base on which to build.  :drool:

Hi Chris, yeah definitely agree! All the colour stuff is just a bit of friendly joshing around. It's not like I'd be turning the other way if a non-white gti came along. (For a start, I don't think I'll ever drive past another white one - seeing another GTI on the road is rare enough even now...)

The only thing I'd hope is that the people who prefer white don't talk themselves out of it as the 'sensible' option, because

(a), let's face it, a dirty car is a dirty car and black and grey owners won't be any happier with a mud splattered gti
(b), unlike a white vauxhall chevette, a white GTI has loads of showroom appeal and should be a doddle to part exchange in 2 or 3 years, and as an added bonus, its body  won't consist mainly of filler by that age... You don't tend to see many old Chevettes. Why is that?  :grin:
