"Scene shifter" .......would that be shifting the scene to the 10 year old girl end of the scene?

Although some people do like some pink rimming rimmage.  :chicken:

Your probably right, its does say Worthersee at the top so probably from somewhere in europe.

When I looked on Fast Car's site to find that pic, they had pics of Mk 5's on Porsche twists and seem to have a very keen interest in VAG cars atm going by their twitter feed

Perhaps you guys are judging a book by it's cover.

How do you know it's not owned by a girlie who is using pink to express her femininity?

What would you be saying if it was owned by a new female member on this forum? (or a gay guy who loves pink).

If they were TDI or similar track alloys in pink (for example on NeilM's or TopCat's old white GTI) would you be saying the same?

If it's purely as a 'look-at-me' show car it's worked pretty well on you guys hasn't it - You are all talking about it.

At least check out more about this car. However, if you simply don't like it, fair enough.

:laugh:

I like it. Makes a change seeing cars which are doing something different from the norm.

It's not the colour for me, it's the mahoosive size of the rims (20"+?) and stretched tyres. It looks quite 'cheap' IMO and when that end of the market start snapping up cars and they appear in FastPower, you know it's time to bail out.

Same happened with the MKIV.

Snobbery? Yes.

Yeah, I don't like 20" rims on Mk5 Golfs and I don't much like strectched tyres either unless on something like a show Mk1/Mk2 'pickup' (Caddy?).
