....About the Mk5.5 - The car and not the pics - I want to like it but I really don't like that front. It's as if someone stuck their fingers in the sides of their mouth and pulled it wide!

I really hate the fact that VW have apparently made it even quieter inside - I want to hear the engine of whatever vehicle I drive!

I just went there for the weekend with the wife, its a great if a little expensive (£6 a pint) place to go. We were just walking past the harbour and I saw all the golfs in a car park, so I thought I'd have a look and take some photos. I was expecting to get told off but there was no around.

I wasn't a massive fan of the Mk VI, much prefer my Mk V GTI, but fingers crossed the Mk VI GTI will be good.

Now I've figured out how to take photos, I just need to figure out how to talk the wife into getting the GTI Revo'd.

That must have been exciting stumbling across a new golf.  :drool:
As for the mrs that is way more difficult than loading piccies your on your own there son good luck.  :wink:

It was pretty difficult getting her to let me take photos of the golfs, apparently we should have been spending our time looking at waterfalls & whales, not taking photos of golfs.

I might go the same way with getting my GTI Revo'd as I went with the R32 rear lights and just hope she doesn't notice the change in the car and the drop in the bank balance.

...."It must be the petrol, darling - VW advised to run it on higher octane :smiley: - Look, it's written inside the filler cap"

Either that or "The GTI is a fast car - It's just that we are getting used to driving it faster"

Wow im a little underwhelmed by the mkvi's appearance. I completely agree with Robin about the appearance of the front, summed up what i was thinking perfectly. I think probably the most unimpressive area for me though is side-on. Now that you get to see it with the standard small wheels it really is bland to me. Very good shots though Bobnaldo - right place, right time!  :wink:

RR and i still havnt got the hang of it once we learn't how to do it we started posting pics that have nothing to do with MKV's  :grin: :grin:

....That's right - I just can't manage to stop posting this : -






Hey RR - she looks a little underexposed - get her top off :laugh:

Hmmmmmmmmmm.....................

Not an immediate fan nof the new Mk VI. It has the same typical understated body evolution but there are too many similarities with other VAG models for me - needs to be more individual. Audi rear lights, Audi A4/Cab/Scirocco interior, including the chrome bits on the MFSW. Agree with RR - I'm not a chrome fan, I'm not that old yet :shocked:

Will need to see one in the flesh - GTI that is (not RR's birds :laugh:), so I'll reserve judgement. I'm keeping my MkV anyway so WTH.
