What a shame the MK5 is on 17"s !!!!
And well done to them for picking the *cough* fastest *cough* colour MK5!!!!!
-
Still the same brakes :rolleye:
-

Agreed but its still the one they got wrong IMHO
-
i noticed the same brakes! cringe!
-
Where's the mk4?
-
ye...i was expecting a nice anni in there.
there probably remebered how much of a flop the mk4 2.0l 8v. that thing did not do anything for the GTi Brand!
-
i think they should have gotten all 6 that wouldve been cool :)
-
Shame there was no mk4, although not the best (with exception of the 25th Anni model) at least it got a decent engine - the 1.8T.
Agree, never been as keen on the mk3.
-
yeah the mk3 always seems like a diluted golf stopgap, loved the mk4 1.8t some happy B-road days in one of them and its total lack of traction and understeer

The "Greatest Golf GTI" is a White / Standard /with 17"'s...................
-
Ahaaa.
Just been in our design office and the dub guy in there pointed out it means the MKVI that I never noticed..
DER@me

Should be a good read!
-
Got this today :happy2:
Anyone who hasn't read it already wanna guess what they deemed the 'Greatest' GTI of all time?
-
^^^ I've not read it, but my guess would be the Mk2?? (ready for being shot down) :signLOL: :signLOL:
-
Well I can tell you what it wont be, the MK3! :sick:
-
Well I won't keep you all in suspenders any longer............................. It was:
The MK2 of course :jumpmove:
The car they use from the VW Heritage collection is beautifull and nearly as nice as my soon to be for sale MK2 8v! :wink:
-
Haha, im not surprised its the MK2, mine was fantastic and so cool! Are you really selling yours :wink:
-

Im afraid so, my mate who is storing it has just bought a Landcruiser for his missus so he's been 'told' he can't have it! :chicken:

So your problem is nowhere to keep your Mk2?
The preferred order was no surprise!.......
1st - Mk2
2nd - Mk5
3rd - Mk1
4th - Mk3
5th - Mk4
Of course they big'd up the Mk6 but their pics of the Mk6 GTI disappointed me - Looks like a Mk5 with a bolted on Scirocco front! Doesn't look right in their pic angles.

It's the major driver for it at the moment, plus I'd free up some spending for the MK5 budget :happy2:

With the massive power your Ed30 now has, I'd be seriously considering a Quaife. But it's such a slippery slope :evilgrin:
-
^^^ If his is anything like mine it's got to be brakes next :driver:
-

....Yes! I know what you mean - You need the whole package! To best handle the power, you need brakes, Quaife and suspension imo :evilgrin:
-
The WALK kit seems to have all but eradicated some of the traction issues I have. Just need to try it in the wet now. So the order will be:
1. Brakes
2. LSD
etc etc etc :rolleye:
