  1. If it was a proper midlife crisis you’d buy a desmosedici ;)

  2. I got a shock.. Cabriolets seem cheaper, they don't work for me at all.

  5. with the top down, in yellow, they remind one that the shape, albeit quite memorable in the day, ain't far removed from that of a skip.

  6. helps that front wings can be unbolted from memory. Already clocked that it looks like a "soft" dent, which were usually quite enjoyable and if it is, In my day I would have removed that without a trace.

  8. 110 bhp / 1900lb What do you drive now?
     
  9. Currently on an insignia estate 2.0 … family wagon! Last hot VW I had was a mk5 R32 last year
     
  10. So 250 bhp/ 1541lbs. Thats a massive difference in performance to a GTi.
     
  11. Yeah but it’s not all about bhp, enjoying the journey is much more fun than arriving early … with 3 points :joy:

  12. Very true, though I think I'd find the journeys a little too long in a heavyish sub 180 car. But they do look good. Maybe if you could supercharge it and stick in some Porsche seats & coilovers??? LOL

    Have fun with it.

  13. I’m surprised that the mk5 Golf is lighter than a mk1 Golf. Given the added safety features in modern cars my understanding is cars are getting heavier.
     
  14. My mate has a Golf R and finds it sometimes frustrating to be stuck behind cars on ‘fast’ B roads in Wales. Sometimes less is more.
     
  15. Yes sometimes -but not everyday!
     
  16. you must find walking anywhere a real pain then Jez. :)
     
  17. A mk1 is around 900kg… the mk5 with the v6 lump, dsg and haldex system is considerably heavier
