I bought this a few years ago off someone on another forum. Anybody else got one? Or know how many were made? Any idea if they are still sold? Apparently when it was new you could buy them from dealers but I've not seen any since, and never known anybody else to have one.
I want to use it because I think it would be more fun than a normal sledge, being able to steer/brake etc. But part of me wants to keep it unused in case it becomes a collectors item. What do you think?

I saw them for sale some years ago but like a fool I didn't buy one. There was one for sale at inters a year or two ago but again I didn't buy it as it was scorching! I say use it and enjoy it....or let me do it for you!!! :signLOL:

Get out and enjoy :happy2:

A quick look at the current VW merchandise suggests they are no longer available. None on Ebay either. I wonder how many were actually sold :confused: They were quite pricy IIRC so probably not many!

Saw one in my local dealer (Bristol Heritage) a couple of weeks back for I think £40. It was definitely a geniune VW black
GTI sledge but it may not have been a exactly the same as that shown in the OP.

Volkswagen Racing had a few on there stand at Autosport last week.

To be fair though an .:R sledge would be faster. :chicken:

Great find! If we had guaranteed snow I'd consider it. It is rather a lot though.

Looks great but dont get enough snow in London to warrant the spend.

I know, it came like that. It's a sticker though so I can't straighten it up. It plays havoc with my OCD :fighting:

....If you are able to carefully prise it off (depending on the material) you could stick it back on straight.

A hair dryer might help :happy2:

Whoa! What's going on?
I fully expected this thread to be highjacked with a picture of a half naked female somewhere near a sledge.
I was totally unprepared for someone other than RR to have done it. :laugh:
