The New GTI

Golf Mk5 GTI
After the weekend my car reached fame, by being the focus of a local dealers GTI launch, you may remember the promise of a new GTI for a long weekend.

Well, I missed this Sunday's repeat of the Clarkson opinion on Top Gear. But thankfully, as it had become a point of discussion in our office (the bosses bosses boss is thinking of getting one), and was reminded it's repeated again tonight - excellent :-D

I'd actually forgotten that Jeremy had voted the original GTI, the MK1, as the Car of The Century back in 1999. And I'd also forgotten probably the best quote for a car I've heard him give in a long time:

"So you can take the children to school, comfortably, safely and practically, and then once you've dropped them off, drive home like you've sat on a wasp"
If it's as much fun as driving my 21 year old to work in the morning as he seems to suggest, maybe, just maybe, it could be the car to tempt me away from driving my Pocket Rocket ;-)
