My daughter and my GTI.

[aframen]

[Deans BMW]

That GTI is great looking, tell us all about it. Another great pic of your daughter, but you should be in the pic with her.

[BobFV1]

Dude - Nice "fast"!

What motor - do tell!

[GPM]

Hey Bill,

Congratulations, great car. I had a Rabbit about a zillion years ago, not too long after I got out of college. Had a blast with that little thing. They've come a long way since then.

Everytime I hear or see those initial "G.T.I." I can't help but think of the song "Andrew Ridgely" by Black Box Recorder (http://www.leslieccy.net/blackboxrecorder).

Andrew Ridgley by Luke Haines & John Moore

I never liked George Michael much
Although they say he was the talented one
Andrew Ridgley drew the map
That rescued me, took me to paradise

I was brought up to the sound of the synthesiser
I learned to dance to the beat of electronic drums
I came alive to the smouldering fire in your eyes
I love you now and I will till the day that I die

I had a tooth pulled as a child
I put it underneath my pillow
And when I looked the very next morning
There was a ten pound note
I took it to the nearest record shop
I put it down upon the counter
I gotta tell you what I know to be true
I bought my first record because of you

I was brought up to the sound of the synthesiser
I learned to dance to the beat of electronic drums
I came alive to the smouldering fire in your eyes
I love you now and I will till the day that I die

I love everything
I love to be around money
A daughter of negative equity, a child of Black Wednesday
(Blue Monday, Black Wednesday)
This is Sarah Nixey talking
MIDI'ed and into the groove
I've got to tell you
What I know to be true

I didn't do too well at school
They said I couldn't concentrate
The day you flew off into the sunset
Was the day my education was saved
Then years later on Kensington High Street
I saw you drive a white convertible Golf GTI
Carefully edging out into the traffic
Just like a real live human being

I was brought up to the sound of the synthesiser
I learned to dance to the beat of electronic drums
I came alive to the smouldering fire in your eyes
I love you now and I will till the day that I die

Daddy lost everything
Our beautiful house, his beautiful sports car
His beautiful wife, I held his hand and told him
Everything would be all right
This is Sarah Nixey talking
MIDI'ed up and into the groove
I've got to tell you
What I know to be true

I was brought up to the sound of the synthesiser
I learned to dance to the beat of electronic drums
I came alive to the smouldering fire in your eyes
I love you now and I will till the day that I die
I was brought up to the sound of the synthesiser
I learned to dance to the beat of electronic drums
I came alive to the smouldering fire in your eyes
I love you now and I will till the day that I die

Have I mentioned I am strange?

A nice acquisition indeed. My wife picked up a 2.5L Jetta in December. I love it way more than the crap Toyota Camry she had before that.

Course my neighbours have given to calling me Obergruppenfuhrer on account of the German motorcycle, a VW, and a 2002 Mini which is ersatz German.

[Big Papa]

The car is cool and very fun to drive. 2 liter turbo, 209 hp, 6 spd auto w/ paddle shift and tiptronic. No leather or sunroof, but got Sirius radio. The current VWs are like clown cars, small outside, but surprisingly roomy inside. One of my favorite cars of my past was my Civic Si hatchback. The GTI is like that, but for adults.

[supermotoC]

What, no 28" blades?
