Life after Dub?
« on: 16 November 2011, 12:22 »
what do you guys plan to do when the time comes to get rid of the golf, or, if you already have, what did you get rid of it for?

Always keen to find out what sort of car enthusiasts move on to after their current.

I'm currently in save save save mode atm. Trying to get my hands on an Impreza WRX STI.

Failing that I'm going to have whatever old super car my mate restores XD

I think Audi/Vauxhall is the purists choice.

for me its proberbly going to be an old beemer.

however i have been very tempted and been looking at corsa C's lately  :lipsrsealed: with a VXR engine in, have a mate who has one thats all striped out and its rapid, cant remember what power its running but its very fast, on the way to a show a ferari pulled up next to him (cant remember what type of ferrari it was) but they both put there foot down and he was able to keep up  :lipsrsealed: and it looks stunning  :lipsrsealed:

other than that, would be something rear wheel drive, and most likely jap.

maybe a skyline

Surely no one actually sells their golf to buy an Impreza?  :smug:

Imprezas have always been topof my list. always wanted one, so will get one whilst I still enjoy driving about like a loon XD

going to have it for weekend/summer fun more than a daily driver. that way i can enjoy not having to drive everywhere.

since you own one, any pros/cons on them? as much as it's marmite, I want a bugeye!

Corrado will be a comin early next year. After that I couldnt say. I may get bored of tinkering, and what a nice new reliable car (probs derv as well.  :lipsrsealed:) But will more than likely stay VAG.
