    Hi guys and girls,

    I have recently been contacted by a company who produce Jeremy Clarkson videos (the ones you see on the shelves at Christmas) and they are doing a feature on the MK5 Golf GTI for the next edition from Clarkson.

    They asked me to get together a number of STANDARD Golf GTI's from all the other MK's. They will be filmed on a track and will be driven by the owners. The footage will be used in the next video to be released later this year.

    Filming will take place between 28th May and 3rd June at a track venue (TBC). All the cars must be completely standard! They want no modifed cars at all.

    Jeremy is keen to do this feature cause he loves the Marque. If anyone is interested could they please email me with your car details and contact details. Then either I or the Video producers will be in touch. Email address would also be a great help.

    My email: NO MORE CARS NEEDED THANK YOU

    (Mods can you please make this a sticky??!!)

    I thought Jeremy Clarkson hated VW's/Golfs except the new one.

    GTI's ONLY (8v or 16v) MK1, MK2, MK3, MK4

    (I will enquire about Cabrios, but as there aint a MK5 Cab I doubt they will use it)

    MK5 GTI is being supplied by VW Press
