[GTi Devotee]

Hi Everyone

For as long as I can remember, I have loved VWs and Audis. My first model car was a Red Matchbox VW Golf GTi Mk 2 8v, and have cherished it ever since. When I was older, I realised my parents had the venerable VW Beetle 1500, as well as a Mk I Scirocco GT. Nowadays, we have a Skoda Octavia 1.6 and it's good going back to the VAG of absence.


One day, I would love to own a Mk I VW GTi, Audi Ur-Quattro, Mk II Golf GTi 16v, a Corrado VR6/G60 and a VW Beetle and Mk I Scirocco (so life has come back full circle!!!) Cheers guys, and I cannot wait to indulge into all of this information!!!

Thanks, Syd

Hey man

Been a vw driver for many a year- currently own a 08 T5 4motion 128kw crewvan- feels like i'm captain kirk of the enterprise- previously 1800 76 pop top ( a rocket ship in its day with true 1800 heads and twin webers- sadly now gone), a 89 Trakka 2.1, a 76 2L microbus ( still have)- a 91 2.1L micro (gone)- and now "bluey". I cant understand how can you drive anything else other than a kombi.... Great forum as I've been reading for quite a while.

Hey there peeps.

Have been reading these forums for quite a while as I have decided a golf gti mkVI is the next car for me.

I came to this conclusion because I am after something with performance and comfort without negating class. I have done a lot of reading and the Mk V gti seems to be a winner in alot of categories I am seeking in my next car. However I do like the look of the VI much more so.

My previous hot hatch was a 99 honda civic type R so I am not stranger to small cars with performance. Unfortunatley the civic was not the most comfortable car in the world. I anticipate the gti will match the civic in performance but will be in a league of its own in the comfort department.

I hope to purchase a black Mk vi and should head on down to the local VW dealer in the next day or so to see if there is anything i need to do. I wouldnt mind taking a gti v for a test drive because I have never used a DSG system before. What do you guys think? Does DSG get boring compared to a manual transmission? Or is the extra performance noticeable enough?

Anyway here is a pic or 2 of my previous car I sold a few months ago. At the moment cruising around in my CRV (not worth posting pics).







Anyway I do look forward to reading more info on the mk vi gti. Does anyone else know where the best place is to get more info on the vehicle? English would be best

Thanks guys, sorry about the ramble
