hello, new user to the board
« on: 03 December 2003, 00:54 »
just thought id say hello. ive got a black mk2 gti 8v on a b reg, just spent all night changing the gearbox and doing work for its mot. havent owned a vw before, had plenty of novas, astras and cavaliers, glad to finally own a car that feels solid and drives smoothly.

My celica GT4 was the same engine as the MR2 turbo, but with 4WD, stuck to the road like glue!! I do miss it, but still have more fun in the golf

Yeh, it was an animal. I loved it to bits, but someone offered me 2 grand over the odds for it , so I sold it - it looks a mess now though :'(

Gotta admit japs are animals.
My mate let me rip his fast&Furious styled CRX before he sold it.

It wasnt even a 16v V-Tec and was very very fast :o
