2 things!

nicely said adamb!

and black gti iam only 22. so its not like im old or anything.

Nice one mate. bet you feel 'cool' now.

[Cupra Turbo]

Im always cool mate.

But I'm also sick of people slagging the mk3 and mk4 8v's off.

[Fielder5757]

dont worrie dude, One day, When all the Mk2s are gone, People will rember the Mk3 as being faster than the Mk10. Why do golfs seem to just be slowing down as time goes on?

If you realised how much i laugh as i type this stuff you would a)realise you were being wound up, and yes you are easy to wind up

b)its nothing personal, im just not keen on mk3's, thats the thing about a forum everyone is entitled to their opinion and their say!

 

[Cupra Turbo]

Yes but also forget sumthing. This place is called GOLFGTI.co.uk ...

That means it covers ALL GTI's ... from 1.6 mk1 to mk3 2.0 8v and even the 180Bhp 1.8T mk4.

Should we be slating the cars? ppl come and browse this forum without signing up and heres us slating the GTI badge... u think they'll buy one? nope... they'll go make a BIG mistake and buy a Corsa.

Anywayz

I wrote a thread yonks ago saying I didnt like the styling of the mk1 and mk2 and thought they looked old... then after id looked around the mk1 a bit more i started to like it more.. and now i think the MK1 is a nice car... the original and the best.

I still think the mk2 is just a normal hatch and I also think its overrated. I mean 8.3secs to 60 in a 8v???  their not faster than a Rover 420GSI. I've seen that race and I know the outcome... and the Golf didnt finish first.

anywayz, doesnt mean their a sh!t car... but it seems its the majority of mk2 owners that slate the mk3 ... so therefore I slate the mk2.

Theres a GTD mk2 over the road from me... standard everything.... and its a tank... rusty old tank.

But the main thing that winds me up is this "mk2 is DEAD light the the mk3 is a boat" ... 940Kg for the mk2 and 1030Kg for the mk3. 90Kg between them ... mk1 = 840Kg & mk2 = 940Kg ... 110Kg between them... so the BIG jump in weight was between the mk1 and mk2. NOT mk2 and mk3.

btw the 1030Kg is the 8v weight... the 16v weighs closer to 1100Kg.

Theres other things I could write, but I cant be arsed.

think evry1 knows the 8v is slow, but comon mate...handling!
