Hi all,I was wondering how many of you use your GTI's as your daily? I have my Dturbo as a daily and try to take my '6 once a week as it's a good 20 mile drive to work. I do really look forward to driving it now I've got a lot of the niggles sorted. How many of your GTI's are work in progress at the moment and off the road? |

I drive my van daily for workthe audi for family outings the supercharged 6 occasionally when I get the chance (my toy) the standard 6 never (should sell it really) I used to drive a 6 daily many years ago, since ive had a van for my business I use that most of the time, so now the 6 doesn't get many miles put on it at all but I do really look forward to driving it. ________________________________________ Team SUPERCHARGED I LIVE FOR THE 306 Old Project thread Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url = |

My 6 is my daily and has been for 7 years do far. It now has 166k miles on it but drives better than a new one. It's also my toy car and has been round dial Brandshatch and done Prescott Hill many times. It did 28 runs at this last pugfest.  ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

Mine is my daily, and is a work in progress! Done just over 13,000 miles in the 2 and a half years I've been driving it. Fortunately my commute is only 5 miles each way at the moment, but I could be changing jobs and working in London soon so it'll be sidelined in favour of trains & tubes. Might sell it once it's done and buy a V8 so I can tick that box, but we'll see.________________________________________ 2000 W Phase 3 Moonstone. |

Bought a rallye for my daily but trying hard not to use it. Been using a motorbike with this lovely weather. Used to use a 6 as a daily but it was getting tired and i lost the love when i had to drive it 40 miles every day.________________________________________ DIABLO GTI-6 - Legend - NILE GTI-6 - SoldCHERRY GTI-6 P1 SUPERCHARGED - Broken up BLACK RALLYE - Sold 205 Dturbo xud9 work horse - Dead CHERRY RALLYE - new toy |

Yeah, my 6 is a daily, doing 20 miles each way. Part motorway, part other. Always gets a good blat! I lift share, so it's only 2 weeks a month. 115k now and singing sweetly. Never use crap fuel, which I'm sure helps.________________________________________ SmartyMy lil toy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/martincurtisphotography/sets/72157640014140786/ |

Used my old '6 as a daily back in 2010/11. But Rallye is rarely used weekend/shows car. Did drive it daily for a short period but it's too low to drive everyday really or the roads near me too crap whichever ________________________________________ CLUB BLACK RALLYE||B8s||60-70mm drop||Black Partner Steels||P1 VTS Rack||Refurbed Beam||Hybrid ARB||VTS Torsion Bar|| |
