Jim 2 Posted December 18, 2003 Saw this advertised on the Autotrader, and it got me thinking a little bit. 1990 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GTi 8v G90 5DR, 1990, Black, e/w, alloys, p/steering, genuine big bumper model, MOTd Jan 04, Taxed, bargain to clear. £595 . ono. G90? Could that possibly be a Golf G60 for the princely sum of £600? Pic attached anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Furkz 0 Posted December 18, 2003 CAIOS in a few years when we have kids and moody lumpy wifey with a big belly and cant quite squeeze the qhole family into a corrado, without them moaining. U be loooking for a performance car to suit the family and to fulfill ur racy desires.... jus a thought, but wat a scary one it is but than again if i got a R32 for a company car i wouldnt mind,,,,, easier to pull girls in 5 door cars u dont have to get out to let em in :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted December 19, 2003 I think 5 door performance cars are also to appeal to the family man (or woman!) who despite having to ferry kids around to school, etc, likes to be able to have a blast when driving from time to time. So I think thats also why cars like the Golf R32 are 5 door.. has the family element when needs to be, and the wild child power lurking under the bonnet :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted December 19, 2003 A G90 would be good :lol: Can someone remind me what 40 and 60 mean? Sorry to move this off topic but I can never remember the significance of 40 and 60! Is it the rotor size or something? Ta K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
