Crikey its like a civil war has broke in the golf gti camp.

Drivers are good, i had one for and only reason why i dnt have it now is coz i got a valver. (well i do still have it but dnt drive it)
I was thinking of putting twin weber 40's on my driver with a gti cam and gti down pipe, but ended up with a valver.
I do think that the driver that i had would of beaten an 8 valve mark 3 of the lights, just felt a bit more lively, top end then obviously the mark 3 would prove to be better.

End of the day we all buy cars for different reasons and get different things out of different cars.
We all have golfs and have different marks because of what we want out of the car itself, so each to their own.

My wife has a mk3 driver,  she is happy with it,  its great for getting the kids to school and doing the shopping. It does good mpg and has electric windows and sunroof etc.

I have a mk2 8v gti and its the dogs' i can drive it slow and get 35mpg or I can floor it and jump over hump back bridges. Nuff said.

thats my point too, the mk2 is virtually built to be ragged, its not the most practical car for shopping etc, which is what the world has mk3`s for  :smiley:

I find the MK2 rather practical tbh....Can fit all my camping gear and clothes etc for a week in the boot!! Plus it will easily swallow a weeks worth of shopping. 

Only thing that really annoys me though is the spare wheel sticking out half a mile  :angry:

And guess what - I've got a GTI and you've only got a poxy 'driver'! Was this forum 'Golfdriver.co.uk'? No? Well then. :evil:

That hurts Here *points to Heart* and Here *points to Head*  :cry:

Mind you, I am willing to put my Mk2 golf drvier up against a standard 8V Mk3 on the track ( a real track not a drag strip) and see who wins!  :smiley:
