mk1 gti is a tub of lard!

Do you think he really drove a MK1?!

i doubt he knows the difference between his arse and elbow.

I left a brand new Astra convertible for dust on the way home on Friday - he was trying hard until we got to the bends, at which point my 'underpowered and unwieldy' Golf wiped the floor with him.

What is that guy on about?

remove the M the P the other P and the E and replace with a C and an N, jiggle about and i think you will have a better discription.

that took some wofking out wooders

I like that about his wife              


very funny  :mrgreen:

love the analogy!

He must be an idiot, how can you compare something built 25years ago against something built today?  :dontknow:   muppet!

perhaps his wife is the grey haired tub o lard he goes home to

For real.

What a chief tool. I bet my bottom dollar he has never driven a golf never mind a mk1.

Comparing the mk1 to a mk5 is like comparing the latest spec computer to a spectrum.

Considering how the world has developed in terms of technology I think the mk1 has stood the test of time rather well. It will still out-handle and under-brake your average car on the road today. Any motoring journalist worth his or her salt will be able to tell you that the mk1 was a fantastic car in it's day and is has more fun than you can shake a stick at, even by today?s standard.

That guy rubbed me up something chronic.  :starwars:

Oh dear lord. To say something like that obviously reflect badly upon his journo skills. The only way he could hype up the new car was by stating something so ridiculous and COMPLETELY unfounded that its not even worth reading the rest of the article.

Tut.. shame.

I just don't care. I *heart* my Mk1 and that's all that matters.

Having just read the article, I can't understand why he'd say that. Obviously he obtained a "journalist pass", then approached VW to borrow a GTI Edition 30, on some false premise - that he's a journalist! Its just an online website, not a proper publication. And he's obviously not even driven a decent condition Mk1 GTI.

I'm not knocking the Mk5 GTI but its not the same, and neither could it be considered cheap at ?22,000.

I know right…. imagine buying a mk1 for say ?2000 and then having ?20,000  to spend restoring and modernizing it  :twisted:

I think the mk5 gti would find it tough going against such a mk1.

No, I looked at this myself. Seems like a here today, gone tomorrow website. I'm sure they're breaking the terms of their hosting agreement, by not publishing contact details.
