I regret scrapping my first mk2 - didnt know anything about mechanics at the time and scrapped it cos of a knackered shock  :shocked: :cry:

I regret buying my mk4  :lipsrsealed: (it was a non turbo though so that could be the reason)

Im glad I bought my MG ZR, opened my eyes to handling and dynamics that I hadnt known since my mk2 golfs.

Ford Escort GTi.

1998 model, had everything in it, electric everything, air con, the lot.

Was a much better drive than my golf, far more switched on car, more responsive, better gear box, was real fun to drive. After selling the Escort, I got the Golf as I always wanted a 1.8T and I was so so so so dissapointed with the MK4, truley dissapionted.

Edit, also miss my MK2 16V, so many memories with that wagon  :smiley:

I was disappointed with my escort gti, found it too slow and dull. Can agree with you on it being better than a golf mk4 though.

XR4i, let it go for £400 before the add went into Fast ford and I got offered 2.5k :lipsrsealed:
Got hate mail when i told them it was turned into a rally car in Ireland :laugh:.
Volvo 240 GLT Turbo, that car was the nuts and cost me less to insure at 21 than a 1.3 Allegro :lipsrsealed:
I miss that car it was a sleeper (and a barge)maybe why I like my Mk3) :grin:
