Title: Second Favourite VW
Post by: physicsfool on March 26, 2014, 02:48:18 PM
With it being so quiet on the forum and my day being filled with tedious tasks I find myself trawling the internet for motors, I was wondering what everyone else has a close favourite to the G. Mine has to be a mk1 caddy not sure why but I like them and a diesel version would go nicely as a daily!

Any other motors in question?

Vw up, epic drifting cars, serious power, flat bottom steering wheel for hairy moments and front speakers, doesn't get much more speced up than that

Mk1 Polo would be next for me, something about them which I need in my life.

In all seriousness, I loves rallyes, manufacturers don't make wide arched awesomeness like that any more, and I love them :)

Even thought they were badly put together I love the Corrado. I'd love it if they built a modern equivalent like they did with the scirocco.

My 1st favourite is a close run between a mk1 polo and mk1 Golf.

The polo pips the post, for rarity value ( plus its a polo :) )

Then I have massive love for Mk2 olops.

For me the ideal combo, is any of the above with a G40 lump in, although after getting a TDI olop, I am seeing alot of potential value from the 3 cyl PD lump in an older shell.

My sister has the 1.4tdi polo and it torquey as a badger. Reckon you could get some decent figures out of it. Wouldnt mind popping one in a caddy

^^ good call.. the more I think about this, a Mk1 polo would be awesome but I've always wanted a B3, sadly barely any appear for sale, or even exist  :'(

G60  ;D
