Well I couldn't stay away from the mk3 golf
« on: 27 February 2013, 17:33 »
After a 2 year break I've just bought me an early birthday present.

A 96 3dr vr6 and I can't wait for the weather to get nicer and get it just how I want.

Well you guys were right vdubs are an addiction :laugh:

Dunno about that but I relish a challenge lol.

Had a n reg 8valve before now I've just got a VR6 to pick up Friday for a steal.

Apparently I've been told they are insane but only time will tell.

Surprisingly though its cheaper to insure than my 2.5 Alfa sport

They are not that quick, as Tweed said about the same as the Alfa

The noise is insane if it has a proper exhaust on it and a decat....there good cruisers, you can go anywhere in 5th more or less effortlessly. Be easier to maintain than the Alfa.
