Dk (Baikal??) blue Mk2 GTI - NRX ***X
Spotted this morning getting on the A34 at Speen, heading south at 10:05.

Looked a little worn, but had original GTI lights, single wiper and tarantulas.
The gent driving had a red scala drivers seat (apologies for staring).

Made my drive into work today a great deal more interesting.

Excellent spot. That's got to be one of the rarest spots hasn't it? I've seen loads and loads of mark 3s but I can't be bothered posting them.

Red MK3 coming out of Halfords in Banbury IIRC. Never seen one in red before. Looked good. Matched my MK2 nicely. I wonder if the owners of MK3s realise their heritage.

Was followed by a chap in a dark coloured mk2 (think it was dark blue but couldn't really tell) down the M27 near Southampton for a while yesterday at about 3:15. Didn't get the plate or model but looked in pretty good nick.
