Congrats and welcome to the forum, Camo. Tuns of fun to come in your Pogo ... such a great car to 'play' in.

The WRX's love a standard GTi. It makes them feel better after having modified ones kick sand in their faces......

There is a trick to launching a WRX cleanly and 80% of the time they mess it up with a result of a fair hiding by a GTi.

Congratulations on the new car,

Colour, spec?

I agree with the whole WRX thing, when my car was not flashed i had a black 07 wrx 2.5t manual rock up next to me wanting to try things out.
1st and second i was ahead, 3rd he flogged me.

Very very different scenario now that its tuned.

I bet you will enjoy your car, hope it treats you aswell as mine has treated me

Hey, congrats, Bukefal ... the Pogo (even after nearly 2 years) is ALWAYS better than expected.

Best car I've ever owned.

Yep I can’t see myself getting bored of this car either. Even though I’m taking it easy for now and staying below 3000rpm, it’s still a joy to drive.

Something interesting happened today: an XR4 (blue stripes on white) parked close to me. The XR4 was something I was considering before deciding on the GTI, but seeing it this morning near my Pogo – no contest. I’m so glad I went for the GTI. No disrespect to the Ford, but there seems to be an inexplicable aura about the GTI that the XR4 doesn’t have.

I gave a Skyline a hiding in a V6 Passat wagon with 4motion .... I don't care if it was wet. It gave me the biggest smile in a long time and him a big shock I'm sure.
