Title: A sad day for a GTI Owner
Post by: Homer on May 07, 2016, 07:39:43 pm: Hi folks, so today was the day that I sold me beloved GTI. 5 years and 3 months to the day since I bought it. I had it before I even met my wife and have in fact spent more money on modding it than I have on buying my wife presents including her wedding ring... I have went over to the dark side and got a people carrier... With one kid here and another planned it seemed like a wise move. I feel sadder now however than when I have been at past relationship breakups...

I just wanted to say a big thanks to you all who have helped me a great deal over the years of ownership. It thru using this forum that I learnt about modding and general car maintenance. You advice has been invaluable so I thank you greatly. For those starting out in the GTI journey I am envious and remember the excitement that you will no doubt be feeling. Anyway enough of my ramblings. Thanks again.

A 5 door would have been more than adequate

Post by: coldcuppatea on May 10, 2016, 11:04:21 pm: I know the deed is done, but the Octavia VRS Estate has a truly massive boot. Had one for a couple of years when the kids were very little and it was more than big enough without having to resort to a people carrier!
