Hi,
I have just joined the forum as I have recently received my build number for my Edition 30 - No 1300 which I am delighted with. I am a petrol head and have been a VW and Audi fan for 15 years and between myself and the wife have been lucky enough to own MkII, MKIII, MKIV and now MKV GTI's (wife currently has an EOS 2.0 TFSI) as well as 3 Audi quattro's. So will be posting again very soon.

Hello and Welcome :happy2:
-
Thanks for all the Welcomes! :happy2: To answer 182_Blues question, no mods totally standard apart from factory options. I have considered a remap but with my normal drive would very rarely need the extra power but never say never! :evilgrin: I have never really modified any of my cars apart from upgrading alloys of going for sports exhausts. When I was younger and owned an Opel Manta I did go for a Stage 2 head exhaust full suspension (fast road) upgrade with a 35mm drop and brake upgrade but since moving to VW Group never gone mad. Also will dig out some photos of my previously owned cars.
Cheers,
Edi30

Hi, been off line for a while. Looking back at some of the posts on this thread, for info I live just outside Ipswich and have bumped into you Illyun at the Shell garage on a few months ago when you were in your MkII 16v. I also saw your immaculate MkI and R32 at the dealers at the MkVI launch in Jan.
Cheers,
Edi30

PITCH3110, Thanks for the link to register as Suffolk member. News just in I have had a call from the local VW dealer this morning that they have MKVI GTi in as a demo, its Red and on 18's. So I am off to have a look later on. Cheers, EDi30

I have been down to the local dealers today and not only had a look at the MK6 GTI but also had a drive! :driver: :laugh: What can I say its a GTI, very similar to the MKV Edition 30 to drive in terms of handling and the way it feels through the steering. I had a short drive and as it was brand new (only 10 miles the clock) so I did not push it at all. The engine was very tight as you would expect and as a result felt sluggish in comparison to my 13,000 mile ED30. The ride was a little better (this one had the adaptive chassis control) it was also a little quieter and from the inside and felt a bit more up market. There is nothing radical about is, just improvements here and there. I think it is a very desirable car and should sell well. Would I have one..............of course I would :happy2:

Welcome! :driver: Evolution rather than Revolution there in the GTI VI...

I thought there was an embargo that VW have set not allowing the car to be driven until the 19th? :confused:
Nice to see they are still doing Tornado Pink! :grin:

if there is then a dealer near me is in trouble LOL
-
yes, official UK release is most diffinatly the 19th!!. So Dealer is asking for trouble.
-
Right I'm going down to the dealers even though I can't afford it atm :grin: :grin: :grin:
-
Greenhouse, Phil M,
Didn't know there was an embargo in place, dealer did not say anything?! I only went down to have a look and got offered a drive. I thought you guy's would be excited by this news but I get the impression that you seam put out by the fact that someone has driven it before the launch date?! Wish I had kept quiet as I don't want to get the dealer in trouble after their kind offer.
