Post by: richy on 31 March 2004, 23:14: I like the new features page. :)

In the performance section, though, you've neglected my poor little 1.8 20v non-turbo. Everyone forgets about my baby :'(

Post by: modulater on 04 April 2004, 01:06: The practical classic one is interesting as my old car was featured in their mag in a coupe shoot out.

I used to have a MK1 Scirocco Storm and funnily enough it came out on top.

Well it was up against the ford capri, renault feugo and porsche 924.

No contest ;)

Post by: jv on 06 April 2004, 20:43: yeah, seems the Mexican market never got fuel injection, hence GT

was that while you had the Scirocco that it was in the mag?

just added adam's cab on to the site:

Post by: richy on 14 April 2004, 20:17: Is Adam's mk1 really a 1992? Surely this would make it a Mk2 (which it quite obviously isn't). Do you mean 1982 in the article?

Post by: golfvr6 on 14 April 2004, 23:37: VW didn't make a mk2 convertible, they are all mk1 shape up until they made the mk3 :)

Exactly - why mess with perfection
Title: Re:new features - at last!
Post by: Overseer on 15 April 2004, 09:19: they did a similar thing with the mk4 convertible didnt they? its mostly mk3 or something?
Title: Re:new features - at last!
Post by: jv on 15 April 2004, 09:48: it's very mk3! basically just a facelift

... ahh! I see. Didn't cross my mind that I hadn't seen a Mk2 convertible!

Yeah. Mk4 cabs are just Mk3's with new headlights.

Post by: Overseer on 15 April 2004, 10:05: and new wings isnt it? :)
Title: Re:new features - at last!
Post by: jv on 15 April 2004, 10:16: and bumpers, bootlid, interior, etc but hidden under there is a mk3 :)

it's good though as it gives mk3 owners a lot more modification options. you could totally mk4-front your mk3 which otherwise would have meant a hell of a lot of bodyshop work
Title: Re:new features - at last!
Post by: richy on 15 April 2004, 11:40: ^^^ that's a good point.

Post by: Dizzie on 16 April 2004, 22:57: even the dash is the same. just has a funky feel to it.

There was someone selling a mk4 cab dash for ?50. I asked him if he had the glovebox in the same effect or would I have to use my black mk3 one and he told me to stop wasting his time cos there's no way it would fit in a mk2 cos they're all different shells. ::)
