Mk1 Or Mk2 Golf Gti

I watch a lot of this lad on YouTube. He does some really interesting stuff! If you’re going for a Golf- go large!!

 

This was mine when i was 18.
Sold it for 3000€,that is what you pay these days for the rally light and grill.
Now i have a MK6 GTI and a UP GTI.
Both black as well.

Henk!!!

 

18! I didn’t have a penny to scratch my arse with when I was 18.
Luckily I got knocked off my bike requiring 30 stitches in my calf. I got £1000 compensation and then bought a battered Mini…. My first car! I didn’t spend all the money on the car. I kept some for pissing against the wall

 

I still can't believe that Mini was only a tenner.

 

It was 650 quid IIRC. Spent another 100 on the loudest stereo available and stuck some Halford alloys on it. Cool as fuuurk man….

 

as below, but think Mini instead.

 

What a great advert that was! Followed up by the bloke in the Photo Booth with the comb over…

 

Always wanted a Mk2 Golf GTI 16v since I passed my test. It had to be 3dr in oak green. Could afford one at 18 but every insurance company just laughed at me. When I turned 21 the insurance companies stopped laughing as loud and just quoted me an eye watering £1200 third party F&T, bearing in mind this was 1994!. Set off to buy one when I spotted an E30 BMW 325i Sport in red which was surprisingly considered a “family saloon” by the insurance companies. So I bought the BM instead and paid £600 fully comp for a car with 2 more cylinders and 40 extra BHP (and a very light rear end!!!). Don’t regret buying the 325Sport instead of the Golf, but regret selling it, there worth a fortune now! The Gti 16v was one of those cars that got away, but I still have a hankering for one!. Trying to find a decent original one is quite difficult these days. Good luck with your search, it’s a problem, but a nice problem!

 

loved the 325i in dolphin grey

 

My brother had one. Sounded nice at full chat…

 

I had 7 or 8 mk 1 GTi's including a couple of campaigns, and only 1 mk 2 GTi back in the day. Says it all about which I liked most, but I have to admit the mk 2 was a better car. These days the mk1 would need to have a turbo conversion though.

 

Oh yes, they certainly did!!! As you can imagine from a 21 year old with more enthusiasm than skill the backend spent more time going forwards than the front! No traction control back then, just padded undies!!

 

I’ve owned 6/7 325i’s. Including a 2.7 Alpina. Best engines ever in a road car that I’ve owned. Here’s a few pics.

 

Owned an M3 too. Really regret selling it

 

E30 m3

 

Yup. Best handling car I ever owned/drove.
Sold mine for £7k in 2004, nothing less than £70k now. Doh.

 

was that after you added the two bags of sand in the boot Inda?

 

This has been sitting at a unit near me for a while,

 

It was very tail happy I agree. But on the twisties in the dry it was awesome.
