GTI went to Castle Howard.

[Matthew]

Due to the lovely weather, took a drive to Castle Howard yesterday.

Took a few shots of the car whilst I was there too.

I need a go in one of these. A friend of a friend wants to swap his with my BMW. Could be a oportunity for a go..lol

They just do everything well.

That's all I can say really.

They gather speed too, yesterday I was doing 120 zeptons and we didn't even realise, its scary.

You let a woman drive it? MANIAC.

[Matthew]

I like to be passenger'd these days Jason

 

[Jason_E]

Haha. By the way, I do not envy you in the slightest for having a black one anymore. Cleaning mine in the sun was such a ballache that I nearly had a mental brakedown. Also, every single scuff on the thing is blatantly obvious. Bloody cats/bad parkers/previous owners.

Good job our paint is thick! Mine needs a wet sand in some areas...

 

[philmots]

Looks good. Not bad MPG either!

 

[Matthew]

Yeah th black is definatly a ball-ache.

I liked my red one and didnt want a black car again but this one was the right price/condition etc.

Id have the grey or white if I could though...

​MPG is quality on a run, around town it's pants though.

 

[_Tom]

I have sworn to myself never to own another black car..lol

 

[Matthew]

I'm resigned to never having a clean car these days, miss the RB colour.

Popular suicide spot there. Wrap the seat belt around your neck, drive at 100mph into the wall and bobs your uncle.

Good pictures.
