hey..... can i join the meetup? although i dun drive these hot hatches anymore but i used to own 2 of them in the pass. 2 GTis infact. first white one was in year 1998-1999. then scrap. backside itchy go buy back the same model but black one and drove it from 1999-2001. love everything abt it but hated the steering and aircon. the aircon sucks big time. hahahhaha. would really love to hv a chance driving it again.

 

GTti..... was dreaming abt them for one period of time but can't afford it as the depre is abt 10k/yr back in the mid 90's.

the steering needs abit of geeting use to. which i can't seem to get used to it after driving for so long..... didn't hv a chance to bring my car to track back then. but instead of PG, i did it at OG. i've to admit. hahahahahah

 

thinking back, i really miss the car. so affordable. maintaning it is a breeze. oh, forgot to mention another fault. the drive shaft.

 

bro, if possible, able to give me a ride in ur GTi shd we meet? nostalgic la.....

 

then hor, also if possible i wld like to taxi one round in thread starter's GTti as well.....

 

gosh... i'm getting greedy. hahahhha

Of course can join [thumbsup] ! But need to ask TS (Keith) bout the details lei...he hasn't replied about the timing of the meet-up yet lei...

 

The GTti on sgcarmart looks like excellent value for money eh?? Only $1.5K depreciation a year summore! Driving that car is an experience unto itself, it's like an event everytime you go out...bov and all!! So retro summore :wub:

Only thing i dun like is that tis 3 cylinders and the body according to keith...is prone to corrosion...but the Big + of this car is that it has a turbo in it so can mod all the way w/o getting into trouble... [thumbsup]

I'm a current owner who is looking for fellow owners of the GTti.

Anyone who has seen any GTti's recently pls post a pic with the location or post the location and color of the car if possible.

I wish to contact and keep in touch with current the owners to share.

Please PM me if u feel it's not nice to post here. Thanks in advance. :D

 

 

Why not scrap that car. I am sure the emission is bad and that GTti badge no longer got pa-kay these days

Hahahaha [laugh] Wife's BOV is surely the loudest and most fearsome BOV of them all! HKS, Blitz or whatever also cannot match! Aiyah, what to do? Settle down already is lidat lah [:|]

He just got back from Malaysia so was kinda busy for the past few days. 2moro, I'll be meeting him at Dunman Road Food Centre at 5pm for the world's greatest won ton mee! We will then proceed to Kallang Mac's for kopi and TCSS at around 7 - 8pm lidat. Join us lah! Either for dinner or directly at Kallang also can! [thumbsup]

 

Bro Qr25vet, dun worry so much about the authorities lah, my car is *ahem* [blush] also mah!
