Shiny New Car!
As I'd mentioned earlier in the week, one of the local VW dealers wanted to borrow the Golf for the GTI launch this weekend. So this afternoon I popped down there to drop the car off, and collect my car for the weekend, a Polo Twist 
Getting over the ins and outs of a newer car, "These buttons here are for electric windows, and replace those big handles on your car...", it was quite an experience driving back out of London in something that didn't feel every bump and knock on the road. Getting onto the A1(M) however did have me hankering for my GTI. Don't get me wrong, the air-con, electric everything, ABS, power steering, all nice luxuries. But for sheer fun to drive, the little 3 cylinder 1.2 litre engine really had nothing to offer. If I was constantly running around town, dodging the potholes, this would be a car to have. In fact, I reckon Jules would have loved having a go around Stevenage in this little number. But I'm looking forward to getting the Pocket Rocket back on Sunday, after it's had a professional valet and polish 
Best of all tho, will be in a few months when I get my hands on a Mk5 GTI for a long weekend, can't wait
