if you could have an old car back....
« on: 15 August 2012, 21:10 »
been going through all my old photos of my mk1s, mk2s, mk3s, and various other veedubs and non veedubs... i must of had about 14 mk1 golfs that i picked up for about £200 each! if only i had of kept them and stashed them up somewhere, i would be sitting on a gold mine now!  :rolleyes:

if you could have 1 car back that you previously owned which one would it be?

This is my choice





It wasnt the cleanest or best looked after example I have owned, in fact it was quite ropey (despite being photogenic) but it was definately the most fun. It had the centre box cut out and a straight through pipe welded in which gave it a beautiful deep roar, i never had the stereo on because the sound of the car was gorgeous. I had a Seat Cordoba gearbox put in which gave it slightly better top end, it was lowered about 60mm and was generally a trouble free fun GTi to own. I should never have sold it!

erm i had a nissan sunny gtir imported from japan (pulsar model) i'd love that again was so much fun like a shoe box with a 2.0 16v turbo engine and 4x4. or my old nova with the 2.016v engine conversion that was fun too. only had 2 vw's before my current gti a mk1 and mk2 golf diesel and i'd not want either back

Annoyingly it lives about a mile down the road from my home.

My Mk2 GTi 8v early '90 spec big bumper, registered August '89 on fat steels, no central locking or electric windows but hell did it go. Brother in law had a Mk3 Orion (mk5 Escort) with RS2000 bodywork and a 175bhp Fiesta turbo lump and my standard GTi was as quick :grin:
