Well not really, just a little suburb area near downtown. Downtown is a tad bit bigger.
In fact here's a nice ole picture of a street in downtown Guelph.
Anyways, I pulled into the local Tim Hortons this evening for a coffee. Met a guy with a very plain looking 97 Golf hatch. He started talking to me about my car and I find out his little Golf that's rocking all seasons and stock Golf hubcaps has a VR6 out of a Passat. The engine's been modded a bit, forgot what he said what was done to it. Quite the badass little ride. He says he's running 13.10's atm with his 14inch all seasons haha. He later pulled out of the parking lot as we were leaving and he gunned it. He was gone, jesus that thing is fast. Funny part is, I used to see this guy around all the time not knowing he had a modified VR6 swapped into his Golf.

Nothing really, since I haven't posted here in a while. At school, I saw some girl driving what I assume is her M5 and M6 convertable respectively. I pretty much did a double take both times. The M5 sounds like a jet engine, for lack of better words. It also seems that she doesn't know how to "drive" it, because of the fact that she was driving it in one of the worst parking lots at school.

And that means she can't drive it? Shocking...

I didn't get a photo but a jet black Maybach pulled into the petrol station behind me earlier. It must have been twice the length of my car! I really should have gotten a photo of my car parked infront of it for comparison, it looked so funny 
I have no idea if it was someone being driven around or just someone driving it themselves, the guy who got out looked very important!

Investment Dar of Kuwait owns Aston, not VW (and they're already trying to sell it!). Before that Ford owned the company.

Nope!! Ford used to own them I think. Along with Jaguar and Land Rover but they sold them. My Focus has the same indicator stalk

Geo Metros? Rare?
There's a good reason for it. (Swift = Metro)

Swifts and Metros aren't rare (well at least the Metros), but the Swift GTi certainly is. 'Twas a great factory hot hatch from the late 80's that put out 100hp from only 1.3 liters, and also had a factory sport suspension, as well as monochromatic cladding and alloy wheels.

I see like 2 or 3 Metros a month... I see more Ferrari's then Metro's 
Also I saw a 308 GTB (black) or something like that and F430 Scuderia (red) and a handful of muscle cars. I had my windows down and the Scuderia gunned it right next to me.
Almost sounded as good as the rat rod style Chevelle I saw!

Not sure about Ireland but there are plenty of Swift GTis on mainland Britain. Hardly a hot hatch, more a lukewarm hatch, decently overhyped too!

May not be hot for you, but in the States it was one of the hotter ones we got, besides the Omni GLH/GLH-S and a few other Japanese models.
