And as for the bike grip thing, race you round the 'Ring bike v your golf 
hardly fair

a big roundabout would be a better test. dont worry i know how quick bikes are

im just a car person.
i wouldnt discount a mk2 because of age. the mk3 is old now as well and the mk2 is supposedly the better built. a set of arb's and the koni shocks/eibach springs combo would give you decent handling and a fairly comfy car
