are you happy with yours golfvr6? ... u know... its getting on a bit now...

heh heh j/k

ok folks BIG HUG.... we're al GTI fans and if u have a 1.6mk1, 8v mk3 or a 8v mk4 (even the short lived 20v non turbo), your still a "cooler" person and have more taste than a person driving a 1.4 SR Nova!

Yep i am happy thankyou.
I like older cars particularly mk2 and mk3 golfs. I like the old shape Audis as well, the 80/90 and coupe are well nice. And the Audi quattro turbo is one of the all time greats.
My next car will be a S2 or S4, and i won't be buying anything new.
I think in my opinion older cars have more character, but not too old, as can become costly.
If you go and buy a car about 6 years old, where some old geezer has owned it, you will get a near immaculate motor for a tiny fraction of the original asking price. Just have to have an eye for bargain and not mind doing a few mechanical repairs.
