If I had £5K spare....

Recommended Posts

I keep getting a mk 2 twitch now and then; although I also still fancy converting a mk 2 'rocco in a 16v as that would be a very quick car given it's lighter and more aerodynamic than a mk 2.

Get one ready-made (factory-built) from Germany, occasionally still coming up for sale on some of the German Autotrader sites :)

Been there, done that. Rose tinted specs Im afraid. The Mk2 feels so old / basic / flimsy compared to the Corrado, a Mk1 must be even more so.

I love the Corrado but I also have a Mk1 Scirocco with a supercharged 1.8 20valve fitted......It's very fast (think sh*te crossways fast!) Everywhere I go people point and want to talk about the car. :)

That's nice. On my list to get at some point:

 

Mk1 GTI (my first car was a silver mk1 1.3 and I loved it)

Mk2 16v (already had one in Atlas grey, loved it too)

If I had a spare 5k I'd get a bare metal respray and custom leather retrim, along with some stealthy hifi and new wheels.

 

On another car I really like the Golfs, but as a bit of fun I'd probably get a 200SX for rwd fun or an Integra Type-R. Or a Lotus Elan if you can get a tidy one for the money.
