I love the pirelli edition but I'd want it in yellow.

I think it only comes in yellow??

Reminds me of the those little Hyundais that buzz around Cape Town. I call them little bees.  :rolleyes:

Does that make the Golf Pirelli edition a canary?  :laugh:

Well having been to and phoned many dealers I had no further luck on the pirelli. On top of that most were expecting a minimum of four months to wait. This helped my decision further as with the new model next year and the summer well gone in four months my car would be past it's best before it even see's the sun! So I went for the edition 30, black with rcd 500 and rear tints. Is sitting in Germany now and should have it in a few weeks! The tartan is growing on me each time I see it so I'm not so bothered now.

By the way does anyone know how long it normally takes to come from Germany and be ready, the dealer said could be tgwo weeks from when I bought it but I try not to believe dealers, especially on delivery dates.
