Audi S3...

Glen, I never knew your car history before and therefore wanna put you on the spot!
My do you have a Mk 3? (and doing to it what you are?)

Glen, you say the Audi is dull, but you also say you wish you hadn't sold it, as it was the best road car you ever had???

It made a perfect everyday car, comfortable, refined, fast, good handling, no drama way of getting from A to B daily with little effort, in all weathers. A perfect daily driver.

But, it was no thrilling drive...if I still had it, I'd have something silly for the weekends.

My S3 was bloody quick...but you got out at the end of a challenging drive and thought 'was that it'...and I wanted something a little more challenging...so I sold it for the C4S.

It's a hobby.
It keeps me busy on my 3 weeks off, keeps me out of the pub, and stops me spending silly money tuning new, expensive cars!
Despite that, I still managed to spend well over £6k on bits for the Mk6...most of them before I'd even collected the damn car.
But that's it now...the Mk6 is as I want it...and I tinker with the Mk3.

BTW, a Mk5 or Mk6 GTI is a vastly better drive than a S3...but I miss the traction of quattro/4-Motion!

Yes but why a Mk3? I mean I'm biased and chose a Mk3 over a Mk2 due to aircon and ABS.
But everybody says a Mk2 is easier to go fast in as it handles better!

I like the Mk3 Golf...I think it's still the prettiest.
I've had two...and when I had the 8v, the Anniversary was announced and I wanted one. I couldn't afford it, so my Dad bought one, and I bought it off him a few years later.

Interga Type-R, S3, 911 C4S and Fabia vRS have all come and gone...but the Mk3 16v Anniversary remains.
I suspect it'll still be in my garage once the Mk6 GTI has gone too.

There aint another marque I like better either!
Although I quite fancy a Mk1 sleeper!
