Hey everyone, ive got myself another mk3, and weirdly it feels damn quick!! Ive been driving an escort gti for the last year or so and when i got it i thought the performance was similar but when i picked the gti up on sunday i was amazed, wheelspinning out of junctions n that,haha. Forgot how much low down torque there was in em! Should keep me happy for a fortnight or so anyway! Anyway, it feels good to back in a golf even though i couldnt have a ciggy on the way home cos the drivers side window doesnt open as usual,haha. I'll look forward to asking you all loads of stupid questions about all the annoying things that go wrong with em.........

Needs a clean but here it is

welcome back!

I go through phases where i convince myself my car is slow; but then i drive another car, get back in mine, and all of a sudden it feels like its attracted some more horses.

welcome back.

Just a quick question for you all.... whats the last mk3 registration on..... I've seen a late R plate like you have but never on a S plate or newer....

I think the S plate was the last one, eventhough it's almost impossible to spot them anywhere. Mk3s were made until 1998, and since S reg is 1998/1999 that's why you can sometimes see them on a Mk3.

There's one on Autotrader actually:
