probably because it's a HUGE file, dude, and not a standard internet image format to boot

(for the love of criminy doesnt anyone pass their internet drivers license before being let loose any more? just glad telewest gave me a free upgrade from 750k to 1mb a couple days ago...)

/pities the 56k'ers
/NOT serious

fairly neat pic though si, so.... here's a shrunked version for the bandwidth challenged.

down 25x from 900 to 36k

The new Golf GTi 's lovely tho huh... ... might look at those more seriously once VW have abandoned their "NOT A PENNY OFF NEW GTI'S" stratagy!

Reports suggest the Golf Mk5 GTI may lose up to 55% of it's original value through depreciation over 3 years

although thats a similar story to my Polo GTI, mine was half the original list price when I bought it at 3 years old!

So basically, wait 18 months or so, and then find a looked-after example with all the toys you want and Robert is very much your brother's uncle, n'est pas?

I'd have one right now if I could afford it though

i work in the motor trade and one of our finance reps can get them with about Â£3k off...

..which is quite worrying !

Yeah, you can get discounts. If you don't mind waiting, and are not too picky on which spec you go for. 55% seems a bit harsh. I don't mind waiting and not too picky so... hmm. Check my sig

Not just yet, but... I'm looking at June/July delivery with a refundable deposit. So if I find a better deal I'll go for it.

sounds about usual - manufacturers special deal knocking a few grand off the price (same way as mumsy got her rover) and losing around half the value over 3 years... how much are 51/01 polos and golfs now compared to new price?
