Golf mk8 / Re: Auto braking when reversing
« Last post by Swooper on 31 October 2025, 13:45 »
So how do you actually turn it off when you select reverse?

It sometimes activates when I’m reversing into the garage and it makes me jump every time, as it’s so severe

The Ferrari was always an event. I used it as a daily in London for a couple of years and it was surprisingly practical. Long story but sold it after accident damage

S124 AMG I loved too. Rescued from someone who was about to send it to the scrappage scheme! Only about a dozen ever came to the UK. Used to surprise a few people with its turn of pace. Very thirsty together with a small fuel tank was a bit of a pain.

That’s a very eclectic mix of cars, I’m genuinely impressed.
Which were the favourites? Sometimes it’s not the obvious.

I’ve owned quite a few cars since the Mk2

Lots of boring ones but the interesting ones include:

4x MX5s (wife still has an ND)
Multiple Mercedes V8 E-class estates for family duties
A pre- Mercedes merger AMG 124 estate
Mini Cooperx2
Ferrari 308 GT4

Currently in a Ford Focus MK2.5 with 193000 on the clock as a stopgap which is surprisingly fun to drive!

I can't click any video link on that (all I see is a whatsApp screenshot!), but I'm guessing it's another "Sam A" video yeah?

The guy is a particularly hard watch.  :grin:

I think I’d rather wade through the configurator in peace than sit through that load of waffle

Nicely worded ad it is too! 👍🏻

Aside from a brace of Boxters, what else have you owned since your mk2? (I had a few mk2 GTI’s myself many decades ago)
It’s funny, but get in a modern Golf and things like the seating position and cabin space do still relate to a mk2, the DNA is still there.

Gti and Clubsport back on website. No gti 50 yet.

My dealer has just said it’s imminent though.
