Vw press image - improooooooved - Annual gathering style
They also sent us the image for their press release
which tian very kindly printed off and we used as a banner for the show
Howver whilstat the show, we thought it would be great to not only replicate the image, but improove it
to do that we had to find a cracking MK1 GTi - to which there isnt many, - Chudd to the rescue..
Then I spoke with Drive by shootersand got them to line up the cars and take the shot
I'm sure you'll agree that this is a much better image
I've now also forwarded it onto VW with my thanks for use of the vehicles
Drive by shooters are sending me a disc of all images taken from the show, once received i'll post them up in low res and explain how you can order your image(s)
what you think tho guys - awesome shot!!

Took numerous attempts and angles just to get it perfect.
Then the sun kept disapearing, then the sun was to bright on the white cars, then there was too much shadow on the nearside of the MK1.!!!
Arrrrgh…..now you might realise why it took so long just to photograph 2 cars!

excellent photo, think volkswagon will be fools not to choose that photo, my 1st impression on seeing it as an advert for vw suggested to me that volkswagon have gone back to their roots some how with the new car in some way taken insperation from for a proven success of the mk1, says that thier new one is from a succsessfull blood line and carries the DNA of wot and where it really began for them,yesrerdays status in todays car the next best thing to a mk1 golf………
agree with that, you notice the difference if your luckily enough to drive one
it doesnt feel like a typical brand new car, but more like a fire breathing, but very refined monster…
Defo, the best replacement GTI yet
