Whats in your Garage?

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

There's just something about them! it's only the mk 1 & 2s I like though! each to their own but i think they look awesome.

I do have a thing for 80's cars though!

Not to mention the mk2 is the most fun to drive hot hatch you can buy! why do you think clarkson loves them so much!

Have you driven one? If not get in one, head for the nearest country lane and put your foot down :mrgreen:

completely agree with you Scott, I'm all about the Mk 1 & 2s, the mk 4 is pretty nice too but too big. I like the way they feel so simple, kinda like an sj really!

You defo need to drive one to fully appreciate them. I was never a big fan until i bought a mk2 gti as a run around, and absolutely loved it. Until the engine went bang :evil: . Id like to get a mk1 one day but there getting a bit pricey now.
