Probably been taken over by some Chinese ****e or something. Tbf they were always ****e, some folk still try to compete in the Stratos I don’t think I’ve ever seen one finish a full set of stages.
Hate it when cars are remade... the Scirocco is a sack of ****. The Ford Mustang is a sack of ****. The Ford GT is a sack of ****. They’ll try and make the Escort again one day and fail miserably.
Does look a bit like a Golf. Great little cars Golf's. I had a MK4 1.9 GTD a few years ago. Lovely to drive, like a suped up Go-Kart.
Would love a good quality one of these Evo VI Tommi Makkinen edition. please log in to view this image
They've always been well built. Decent cabin and even the basic models have been well specced. My old one was a 51 plate and it had cruise control, Air con, trip/mpg computer etc. That 1.9 diesel unit is tried and tested over many years.
Had a Golf R until quite recently, ****ing awesome piece of kit. Handled like a go kart and blisteringly quick.
Tiguan R line mate. I needed to slow down a bit, the thing was just too quick for a daily commute, as I couldn’t resist hammering it, as it was just too tempting.
I'd be the same. I used to have an old BMW 320d touring that I had remapped. It was around 220bhp and so quick off the mark. Very difficult to drive that thing normally. It just begged to be thrashed.
Agree on the scirocco not on the Ford gt or mustang. The new mustang is lovely. There is a pimped up ford cortina knocking about my town. It is a thing of absolute beauty. Mk1 escorts too. As to second hand stuff, I like 50’s & 60’s furniture. Got a couple of bits. Have bought second hand microwave, golf clubs and a golf jacket. When I was in my late teens early 20’s going clubbing 3 nights a week I used to buy vintage 70’s clothing. Especially denim.
