I'm in Scotland, and the GTI's are like golddust, travelling would not be a problem, I travelled to watford to buy the ST, tesr drove a 04 plate yesterday private sale 8500 mils in red, owneer wanted 12k, missed out big time on ebay last month, plate black, A/C, Sunroof and CD multichanged, 475 miles £9000.00 it went for, I was sick for days... I'm in no hurry as I know to get the car I want with the exact spec might take some time
