Crikey i've started a war!!

Funny you should mention a MkI though as I was looking at a couple not too far away:

http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/331694.htm

The silver one is only 6 miles away & it does look nice....but then again it is pretty pricey for a 25yr old car!

I get what your saying and yes I am a bit of a poser & whatever I buy will never remain standard but i'm that bit older now (well 31) & initially i'm gonna be carting my 1 1/2yr old around in it.

I'm keeping an open mind until i've driven a few. Another thing is that I have my number plate M6FFA floating around somewhere as this is my username on Scoobynet & BM3W. If i'm gonna use that then it has to be a MkIII but then again it could go on the other car or even the BMW Mini Cooper that's at home so not too big a problem.

Just trying to cover everything & do what's right for me. Thing is i've not looked at any yet so getting a bit ahead of myself  :grin:

Oh & if you think the engine bay on that Scoob is nice you wanna see the other one I had that was even more posey & even quicker. 0-60 took 3.8 seconds & a 12 second 1/4  :laugh:

Sideways is definately the way forwards!!!

Not a chance of that. I've never driven one myself but all the reviews speak for themselves when it comes to raw fun out of a Golf :)

Honestly if I could find a mint one i'd love it :)

Thought you might like to see this (even though it's a VW forum  :tongue: ). Green Scoob on the rolling road. Never heard another one quite so loud! Had to keep changing the exhaust for the track & even then it only just made it!

Hope it works :)

Right back to looking for cars  :laugh:

Nah, no war started, Dinx always likes to get the last word in. :tongue:

You say that £2250 is a lot for a 25 year old car, but that's not actually a bad price. You'll find that well sorted mk1s go for a fair bit of money as do mk2s, mk3 can be picked up cheaper than the others. If you're looking at mk1s too then this is a brilliant site and has a good for sale section as they will only allow mk1 stuff to be advertised on there. http://www.vwgolfmk1.org.uk/ :smiley:
......now officially dubless.

Never driven one personally, but an old user on here had one for a track day and he loved it. The suspension needs sorting though as they are supposed to be pants as standard. I still say mk1 or mk2 for the track, mk3s too lardy for me.
