DaveStorm 0 Posted February 11, 2004 What are everyones favourite Volkswagens, past and present? Obviously the 'Rado is gonna be top of many peoples lists but what about the rest of them, here are my top five in order : 1) Corrado - The best. Say no more. :notworthy: 2) Mk II Golf - Still the best built Golf ever. GTI, 16v, G60, Rallye, Limited, Love 'em all! :) 3) Mk I Scirocco - Better looking than the Mk II and much rarer, Storms are stunning. :mrgreen: 4) Mk I Golf - THE GTI that started it all. An icon. :-P 5) Karmann Ghia Cabriolet - How cool? 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest 0 Posted February 11, 2004 Hate to burst some folk's bubble for my ranking: 1. Mk1 Rocco, preferrably with a bit of a bodykit, how about a Rieger ? :-P 2. Rado 3. Mk2 Rocco, but then the Storm special edition, lowered, alloys ... :oops: 4. Mk1 Golf GTI 1995: The end of nice Karmanns/VWs ... :( Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted February 11, 2004 Hm.. none right now. Throwing my teddy out of the pram over the whole sunroof issue :( Maybe a nice NEW MK5 Golf... lol ;) Na... shape wise (performance and reliability aside.. ahem) : 1. Corrado - no doubt at all. Sooo cool, even today. 2. MK4 Golf R32 3. MK2 Golf GTI 16v / Big Bumper / Oak Green - perfick. 4. Phaeton - I just kinda like the idea of an execubarge, i'd just never buy it! 5. MK1 Golf GTI - deserves to be in there cause its what started it all really. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henny 0 Posted February 12, 2004 10) Schwimwagen :wink: he he WTF is that?! :lol: Some sort of amphibious version of * the thing* aka VW 181? :-P Yup, 4WD, go anywhere amphibious VW beetle based car... ...and, just to be correct, the Type 181 (Americans knew it as "the thing") was actually based on an early German military vehicle known as a "Kuebelwagen" (type 82) which was an off roader loosely based on the beetle... 8) I think I may have spent far too much of my teens messing about with air cooled VWs... :wink: :roll: :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henny 0 Posted February 13, 2004 yeah... I do... IIRC it was also in Volksworld which is all I read back then... 8) I'm a fairly recent (last 10 years or so!) water cooled convert! :wink: :roll: :lol: As I always say, my tastes in most things are many influenced and very varied... I know there's some things on my 'rado that some people will hate, and others will love, but I also know that I've done it for ME, and that's the important thing.... 8) When I worked at the beetle specialists, some numpty ran into the back of my Boss's Porsche 912 which was a one off from the factory... I wanted to make it into a Baja version of it's former self as the repair costs to put it back to normal were stupid... (Un?) Fortunately, my boss worked out a different way of fixing it, and it was repaired back to it's former glory... 8) (that's how I'd prefer it nowerdays... 8) ) I still think a BAJA version of a 911 style car would have annoyed more people, and got more attention than anything else I've ever thought up! :mrgreen: :| :roll: :lol: ( I also wanted to paint it Matt black just to really offend a few people... :roll: :lol: ) Ahh, the things we do in youth! :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
