..I thought it would be nice to start a poll - I don't think we've done this before?? So I'll start it off
I've owned mine almost 10 years now - purchased my GTI on 29th December 2003. Sadly the latter half of that time it's been in bits in my garage and if it wasn't pouring with rain on the open side of the garage now I'd be rectify the situation

The best part of owning when it was new was that it was so fast and nimble it could take on most other cars and win. Only real problem I ever had was with a BMW M535i where the GTI was quicker on the twisty bits but couldn't live the Beemer on the straights
