My Mk5 GTI on Fifth Gear
« on: September 24, 2013, 10:33:53 am »
Hello

First time poster. Long time follower.

My Mk5 GTI was featured on Fifth Gear last night on the Discovery channel. Jason Plato was  highlight cheaper alternatives to the GT86.

It was filmed back in March.  JP was very impressed how the car drove considering it has 60k on the clock.

Any how a couple of pictures


Cheers
Paul

One of my friends son works for the production company and asked if they could use my car for the day.
I got expenses for the fuel. Not for the rubber.

The mpg on the trip computer had dramatically dropped after JP had driven it.
