Can't buy a Mk6 yet, so the next best thing is to go 1+5! :thumbsup:

So, which do you enjoy driving most?

You can't really compare them in some ways. And, so far, my driving experience is mostly Hume Hwy miles! Although I have had one blast up Black Mountain.

:thumbsup:

The Mk1 is desperately underpowered, under braked and under pretty much everything else compared to the Mk5, haha. But once you get past the culture shock of driving a 30 year old car it is quite fun. It's just so basic and raw.

And noisy and rattly. :lol:

Holy shit you bought Matt's MK1!

It's a good car. The MK2 is slower than that thing but it actually feels like a car and not a cardboard box, haha.

I was looking at it about a month ago and was considering buying it, but decided to make my V the best it could be.

I was tailing it on a VWW GTG a few months back. Looked like a lot of fun to drive.

3 door GTI MKI's aren't easily come by from what I could find. Nice to see it went to a good home.

Do you have any plans for it?

What a great looking car Liam... such a classic. And your photos are spectacular as well (and as usual!)

Like GTI_SS, I'm also keen to hear what plans (if any) you have for the car.

That's cool, does it need much restoration/maintenance work?

I need a run around like that so mine doesn't sit outside too much.
