  • Finally Got it and I'm In Love!

    Yep - Finally got my GTI 4.00PM Friday 1/2/2008 and Loven it! Classic White, 4dr, Leather, Sunroof, Ipod Adapter(Yes its a bit half arsed!) Tint and Boot Inlay. Still waiting for my new Black Plates(silver lettering) GTI08T. I am hoping they will blend in on the front a little better that the white (black lettering)

    By 4:00PM Friday 8/2/2008 it already had 1124km on the clock (started at 23km)

    Unfortunately it has been a tough week for the poor little thing. Some BASTARD did a hit and run - backed into the rear bar with a towball on Friday Morning. Thankfully it is only damaged below the paint line. Still VERY dissapointing though.

    Anyhow, I have been sticking a fair amount of boot in to run her in. I used a 4000rpm limit until arouns 200km, then 4500rpm until around 500 and have now (over 1000km) hit 5500rpm on a few occasions. It is definitely starting to loosen up - It gets on boost much quicker at low rpm now.
    MMMmmmm gotta love torque!!! 8.8L/100km average so far! Impressive considering the boot I have been putting in!

    I know it looks just like every other white GTI (with tint) But here is a couple of pics for those that always seem to ask. With all the rain she has been absolutely filthy from the minute I drove out of the lot. Good clean and polish and she looks like new again. Actually a little better than new with the polish!

    Well Itried to post some pics - but can't get em down to the 19.5k???? They look like postage stamps!!!

    Congratulations on the GTi. You will find that you fall more and more in love with the car the more you drive it. I can't get enough of my Jetta. My wife is enjoying it too because she gets driven everywhere she wants to go....any excuse to get behind the wheel

    Enjoy the car.

    Regards
    Tom

        nice purchase, congratulations....

        On the note about you unfortunate hit and run, I had a similiar thing, except my bastard took out my grill and some minor bonnet and bumper damage..grrrr $2.5k repair estimation, so I got me a chromed grill off ebay for $150 and cleaned the rest up with polish, now its mostly cosmetic that I can live with.

        anyway, if your in syd hope to catch up one day...

            I hope this is not a sign of things to come, but I got my first flat tire in 19years! Come on it's only got 1200km on it.(10days old)
            Battle scars so far - 1 gutter rash, 1 towball imprint in the rear bumper and and 1 large self tapping screw in the front left.
