Took the car to Stanford Hall on sunday, closest us Vw boys get to a concours event.... judges commented on the car being newer and hard to judge along side the mk1 and mk2 but commented on how well it was presented and scored it 129/140 and came second in my class loosing out by one point to a 26k mile mk2 golf gti which won best in show last year.... all in all i good showing for the mk5 gti..!!

Hmmmm....Yeah, Stanford...... the judges are a bit biased towards the older models from my experience, going back to my Corrado days, but your score is not to be sniffed at.  Great result.
