Title: What ho!
Post by: hachi-roku on 30 June 2005, 00:29
Hello all  :smiley:

Joined because I'm looking at investing in a Mk2 Golf GTi ... not sure about if to get an 8v or 16v :undecided: but I'm sure there is loads of info here about it  :wink:

I currently drive a Nissan 200sx S13 1.8 Turbo, so lots of RWD turbo goodness  :evil: :shocked:

Hey all, nice friendly bunch :)

(was getting worried I was becoming a flid because I couldn't get into the forum  :huh: )

I must admit, I do prefer the look of a Mk1 or Mk2, however I think a Mk2 is going to be a more practical choice  :laugh:

Maybe I just have a dodgy taste in cars... I give you the hachi-roku list  :embarassed:

Toyota Corolla AE86 (hachiroku)
Toyota Mk1 MR2 (rev 2) - one of the finest cars I have ever driven, DAMN YOU RUST!!!!!
Ford Sierra 2.0 Sapphire (erm, lets skip that one shall we?  :grin: )
Nissan 200sx (which is great to drive and has a habit of ripping your face off when it hits boost  :shocked: )

Bring on the 80's cheese wagons :D

I'm hoping I can find someone about Norwich who wouldn't mind letting me have a look at their 16v (which I prefer the sound of, I love revvy cars and the power being up the rev band) or 8v just so I can see if I would like one  :embarassed:

In return they get a spin in my mad 15mpg turbo thingy  :evil:

Stick a thread in the mk2 section to see if anyone is from Norwich, I'm sure they'd let you have a look if anyone is from there, I think BOGGLE is from down your way but he's got a mk4.  :undecided:

P.S. Make sure it's a 16V mk2 as mk3s are pants its just some people on here are misguided !  :wink: :laugh: :laugh:

haha no we're not.. just that some mk2 fanboys are liars..

Of the mk2 8v and mk2 16v go for 16v everytime.. it is to date the fastest NA 4 Cyl Golf GTI variant ever made. (with the MK3 16v following close behind)

Don't know what you mean, mk2 16vs are the fastest, bestest thing since F1 cars.  :cool: :cool:

Yeah i'm not far away but like gibby says i've got a mk4.  Shame you didn't come on earlier, there was a mk2 16v immaculate cond with 54k on the clock went on ebay last week for £3900.  It was all i could do not to splash my savings out on it :undecided:

Welcome to the forum anyway :smiley:
