Hi all,
My name's David, I joined last week. I have had since our conversion from Ford in 1982 a passion for VW's. Immediately one could 'feel' the quality of the merchandise surrounding you, even though our first was a Mk 1C Formel E, you could rev the socks of this thing with the engine screaming and it would still come back for more even though it was only a 1.1. Then we had a 1.3 Mk2 when they first came out, dreadfully underpowered, then a 1.6 Mk 2 Driver 75bhp (getting better) then a Mk 21.8 90 bhp Driver, this thing could fly. Cornwall to Birmingham 3hrs 15 mins, 90 all the way NEVER missed a beat.
Then the mistake occurred, a 1.8 Vento, which was gone in 3 months, toooooo underpowered. Then a Polo diesel, then 2 years ago my eyes lit up when I saw my current ride a Mk 3 2.0 16v Anniversary Gti. I love this car. We have done about 6k in this since buying it. It has had a cambelt change, new axle bushes, two new Toyo Proxes on the front, new cam followers and cam chain, she sounds superb.
Take care all
Best regards
David
