Off Topic Favourite Car

[Neil]

I have 3 mark 2 GTIs great cars, 8v first, then a 16v, then a 16v big bumper.

Loved them cars. Interior was lifting mind haha

My first decent car was a Mk2 8v GTI too. Golf ball gear knob, Pirelli wheels, gunmetal grey, one previous owner. Classic. After building up to buying that car after years of **** bangers, I was gutted to sell it a couple who bought it as a gift for their 18 year old son. Spoiled bastard.
