    I have cheated on my GTI - now we must part

    Against all reason and probably good sense I've decided to sell my GTI which has been a reliable, quick and faithful ride for myself and my wife for the last three years. I've been spending too much time thinking about someone else...

    I just got a call last night that my newly acquired white JDM S15 is sitting on the docks in Tokyo. I'm flying to Japan next week to take it for a spin before I throw her onto a ship and bring her back to a new life in Australia.

    The GTI is more practical, easier to park, less of a cop magnet, got more seats, more comfortable and better interior and safety features but I can't get this other car out of my head after owning an S13 Silvia, TypeX 180SX and a GTiR.

    The VW will live on with my MK5 Sportline and the Mighty Mods AUDI S3, so I will have a good combination between all those of daily driving, weekend cruising and the occasional track day.

    I am asking $17,900 for the GTI and prepared to sell it for less of course but it's a starting point as I'm not in a hurry as it will be 2 months before the S15 is landed, complied and ready to go.

    But vertainly if anyone here wants it then let me know and I'm happy to do whatever I can to make it a happy deal for everyone involved.

    Haha you said a mouthfull there my friend : )

    A mate of mine who is about to become 60 years of age drives a dark metallic blue S15 200sx, which is completely standard and unmodified. He also drives very sedately.

    He manages to get pulled over almost every time he takes the car out.

    As soon as the cops see how old he is, they prompty say 'oh, good evening sir - you've been stopped for the purpose of a random breath test', and then let him continue on his way...
    Which leaves me to wonder what they'd actually do if they found a younger bloke driving the same car.

    Strange stuff : )

    I would show you some pics or get some specs but I have not seen it, and do not now a thing about it!

    I orgnised for someone I know in Japan to find me one.

    I said "Can you find me a white S15 with low KM and stock" and 2 weeks later he rang and said "I bought you one. It's really nice".

    So at this stage the only things I know:

    1) Its an S15
    2) Its white
    3) I own it
    4) It is in Tokyo
    5) I'll be driving it on Friday in Japan!

    Will you be making some kind of video diary/log about it? I'd very much like to see that
