love my mk3 :) mk2's are a bit too unreliable and mk4's are boring to look at AND drive unless its a very hot version.

My 1st car was a mk3 1.4SE, I ran that car into the ground- drove it far too hard than the engine was made to do!!

Now on my 2nd- the anniversary which I was always in love with since I saw one back in 1996. The car is serving me well, 300 miles a week and getting OK mpg too :)

I came from a 2006 A4 s-line 2.0tfsi which had all the toys and was very fast, but it feels good to get back in something a bit more basic.

And I get more people talking to me about the MK3 than the repmobile  :grin:

I have owned a 16v Mark 2, various Mark 3 8v's and a VR, a couple of Mark 4's and a Bora. The Mark 2 was ok but apart from keeping it mint there aint a lot you can do to them. The Mark 4's were boring and fat !!!!! The Bora was surprisingly nice but again boring. There is nothing like a Mark 3 to put a smile on my face.....my VR was wicked which is why I want another but the 8v's are good enough as I dont go for flat out speed anymore. Just want mine to loom nice and drive well and get me to work and back happy and it ticks ALL the boxes for me.

I know I don't just speak for myself when I say mine is not unloved.

New to MK3's - sold my volvo 220bhp hp turbo and got a 1.6 cl, I love the golf! It puts a grin on my face every morning and I want to work on it, so its a double bubble for me in terms fun.  :wink:
I want to be adored! - Oh, and I need one or two golf bits.
