Finally saw another GTi

Post by Quicksilver »

I bought my car mid December and was surprised that I hadn't seen another. On Wednesday I saw a white two door driving through Thundersley village in Benfleet, Essex. No chance to flash, wave or even grin.

Yes, they do seem to be quite a rare sight on the roads.

Since I got mine in March, I've seen a black GTI on the Norfolk / Suffolk border a few times, a red one once in the local hospital car park and a fleeting glimpse of a white one, but apart from that, no others. Plenty of Fiesta ST's though.

Gassed Up. he does quite a lot of his filming around the bury/thetford area and purchaced his car from VW in Bury St Edmunds.

The reg no. of the black one I've seen a few times was AU16 ###, so different to the guy on YouTube who I think is also a member on this forum? (forum name JoeMarano).

Yeah mine is AV16

I have only seen one the same as mine a black 5 door in my local area...they are a very rare sight indeed!

I think VW should give me more cars to put on film considering the amount of people that have bought Polo's due to me lol

If I see a red 5 door with a private plate when I'm driving in or around Norwich, I'll give you a wave! :)

I've seen you a few times on the B1332 between 5.00 and 5.30 in the afternoon. I'll flash my lights when I see you next time; I'll be in my blue silk 5 door GTI; also AU16.
