On that topic, what is the deal with 3 Door Polo GTI's?  The only Polo GTI officially listed on the NZ pricelists is the 5 Door, yet I've seen a few 3 Door models around the place?

I'm guessing EMD special order them from Australia?

Totally mint MK2 GTI - 16v, 3 door heading on the Southern Motorway.

I think it might have been Simon's old car with a repaint and re registered ? (had an EXX reg plate)
Had the same steel wheels. Looked like it had come straight out of the paint shop

Nice  :o Cellphone picture doesn't do justice.

Really nice. Handles very well. The owner kept on encouraging me to go faster and faster though the twists and turns, lol
It has a very nice engine note and lovely interior.
I looked a but of a dick though, it was the first time I used a push bottom handbrake which I couldn't find . . .  ::)
