"classic waiting in the wings if you will" little bloke , top gear

 

A bit OT, but does anyone know whos car was used in that little top gear feature about future classics?

 

I've got it on my PC and it still brings a smile on my face when I watch it. I love the soundtrack to it too!

Excellent!

Don't suppose you could scan a copy of the article?

Sweet!

 

Yes, please scan it.. failing that please mail it to any of us who have access to a scanner! Did they write a blurb about it or is it just a list?

basically I said it was the last time that VW expressed that original GTI mentality that got them so far.... At the time it was the best FWD handling chassis tied to a superbly flexible engine...and it can still hold its own against many of the cars today.

 

After they stopped making them, VW kindof lost their way....making 'safe' and conservative BORING cars. Then a few years later they panicked and came out with the R32 (once all the opposition had better cars) and now are desperately wanting to restore their sporting credentials with the MK5 GTI....but lets face it its just not the same anymore.....

 

Me fears that VW is destined to follow down the path of passat...bora and phaeton....until they decide to come up with a 4wheel drive ORIGINAL coupe with the DSG and at least 300 horses for around 25-30K

then I'll get my wallet out and stick the Storm in the garage for a well earned retirement...and they should call it the MISTRAL
