old vs young and our cars

ok huys recently theres been alot of what i call youngsters on here thinking us oldies dont know where its atso lets see all the cars and see wheres its at shall we

ill start

mk1 cabby 20valve turbo conversion

32 years old so i guess im an oldie compared to the 18 year olds

heres my oldie fashioned golf enjoy notice the 90s tune playing yeah bring it on  

i don't have an up to date piccy but here's an old one before lowering and change of spoiler.
21, so i guess i'm with the youngsters, dude.


mk1 atlas grey campaign. poly bushed, lowered, supersprint back box and piper x induction kit. standard look. private plate.

 38 on thursday so i guess i'm with the oldies , eh when i was a lad ……

You old git Jim!!

I'm 31 with a Gti floppy

many a good tune rob

im a young gun 20 in feb!

campaign gti

see sig

Im 20 and im stumped now as i dont actually have my mk1 yet.

Had a mk2, just didnt modify it as ive got no money being a student. Only a few things like lowering, de wiper etc.

I crushed that into a ka.

There were enough plans though, from vr, mk3 dash to making my own arches.

And now im waiting for a mk1 golf 1.1 1.3 so i can stick a fully rapid engine in it.

Want a vr, too heavy so thought about the g60 and 2l 20 v but im not sure which will be fastest for the money ill be paying.

Also forgetting widend steelies, smoothed doors/tailgate, might chop mk3 dash down stick it in, rusty bonnet (Also a nice painted one for when i want)

So basically, the oldies are beating me in skill, im owning them in ideas.

And a hyabusa go kart would be nice but i dont have any funds.

Cars still in the undecided stage mode at mo, I love the old skool look, but at 30, I must be getting old..

I'm planning on bring a subtle bit of the hot rod/air cooled scene to mine, but its not decided yet, as long as i like it thne i'll be happy, even if it loosk sh*te to everyone else

Persoanlly i dont think age matters when it comes to cars, its just us 'oldies' dont get ripped off on insurance  

us oldies also build better and more reliable cars  

the one bonus of being old is that you can build a 14 second 1/4 mile car and know your not going to die anytime soon


i like my golf to look retro on the outside yes screaming abuse in the bay

average oldie mk1 owner looks a bit like so

"ts just us 'oldies' dont get ripped off on insurance"

Harsh but very true.

And lawsy, your just trying to start it with me now, it means nice obviously.

well if it aint sick its dank    

are these not words from over the lake :dontknow:

everything on vortex is sick :wink:

Aha, im uglyer than that so its ok.

True but in the vortex they like things like scoops and spoilers.

i have no problem with spoilers or scoops as long as they are needed if i fitted a scoop on my bonnet it would give me more on a 1/4mile run
due to getting cold air into the filter

but on a 1.3 it makes me laugh

Thats the sort of things i mean, or lame bonnet extensions etc.

And i mean, bonnet scoops with no holes for air to go threw etc.

i aint starting anything, i was just pointing out that i must be getting old, where i grew up, we used to refer to miserable places as dark and dank so didnt know which was what..

thanks for pointing out that words that used to mean bad things, ie sick and dank now mean good things
s'pose no one says dude or cool anymore then..lol
