stevie_d Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 I've found out what the bottle opener's for... And yes, it's for opening bottles I've lost my bottle opener in the house and couldn't find a way of getting the cap off my stella...Then I remembered the infamous bottle opener in the GTI! Seriously this car has an answer to everything On another note, I went for a drive today on some lovely roads near Stanhope (near Durham). Now, don't get me wrong, I was very happy with the GTI, thought it was a very good car, but I felt that something was missing. I couldn't see what all the journalists were raving about...why did it get 5 stars and not 4 1/2... However, I now know where that extra 1/2 a star comes from On a ten mile stretch of brutal blacktop (we're talking adverse cambers, sharp corners, pot holes, changing road surfaces, nasty bumps and anything else that can unsettle a car) she was stuck to the road! I honestly don't think many cars could have kept base, let alone overtake! To put this into perspective; I did the same road in my old MKIV (which was nicely modded), but in the GTI I was doing big speed + 30mph on most straights. The sheer speed that it carried around the corners was incredible! Now, before any baiters enter hear me out; I was on roads that were designed for hot hatches; very few straights, so outright power means very little, it's all down to grip, chuckability and feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtiveedubber Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 or you could tell her that she has to stick with the Mini. But his and her's GTI's would be so cute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
