Double ton! - Four years on and Project GTI has passed the 200,000-mile mark ...

摘要

WE TEND NOT to think too far into the future whenever we embark on particular projects. I certainly had little idea, back in July 2003 when I first bought this 2000 model year (T-reg) Mk 4 Golf GTI 1.8T, as a project car for Volkswagen Driver magazine, that it would still be going strong well over 140,000 miles later... But, on Friday January 4, 2008, at exactly 7.28 am, shortly after turning off the M1 at junction 12 on my way to work, the mileage finally clicked past the 200,000-mile mark and it's well worth looking back on the trials and tribulations we've experienced along the way.
