Hi guys, a while ago I told you all about the disaster I had trying to
get insurance for the new GTI that I had ordered. I returned the car
and didnt lose my deposit (thankfully). I was really disappointed by
the whole thing and was initially searching furiously for alternative cars. I
held off for a while and was keen not to just buy a car for the sake of
buying a car. After much headscratching, I decided on a 2.0 GT
TDI. I bought it with about 7000 miles on the clock and have been
extremely impressed with it. It is much quicker than expected; the
speed is soooo deceptive. The car handles very similarly to the GTI and
is very composed at speed (it kept up easily with my friend's new (old)
corrado VR6 storm (which is a fantastic car btw). The car is also
cheaper to insure than my old 1.4 mk IV (dont you just love these
bloody insurance companies?) and I am averaging about 40mpg (heavy
right foot). What more can I say, it's a fantastic car and I plan to
keep it for a year or two until I can afford (to insure) something a
bit nicer. Although I havent posted anything meaningful for a while, I
have been coming here everyday (although I cant seem to use my old
username) and will continue to do so. Anyway, here are some pics (I
will get rid of my number plate when I can be bothered).
