23, and i appologise for the second car i just don't know what happened.

 

1983 1.1 Golf GL in White

1987 1.1 F**t Uno also in White :oops: :pukeright:

1990 1.8 16v Golf GTI in Royal Blue Mettalic (undoutably the best colour) which i sold to go travelling (Tw*t)

18months with no car. :( :(

and now

1994 2.0 16v Corrado in Black :)

 

The golf was modified in as much as it had a powerflow exhaust, K & N filter, Superchip & K-star fuel management system to convert it to run on unleaded.

The Corrado is currently standard but there are some plans in the pipeline interms of styling (Wheels e.t.c) and possibly some engine mods (not quite sure yet.)

Unfortunately, I'm 30 years old (but I've had nearly a year to come to terms with that now - so can say that without crying).

 

VWs I've owned:

 

1985 Scirocco GT 'S' in white from 1996 to 2001 (did over 100,000 miles in that and actually kept this until very recently for spares)

1990 Scirocco GT2 in red from 2001 to 2003

1993 Corrado VR6 in burgundy pearl - had this for almost 4 months now, what a fantastic car!

 

Before those, I had 3 metros (don't laugh, more fun than you might think):

1981 Austin Metro 1.0 (black) from 1990 to 1991.

1983 MG Metro 1.3 (red) from 1991 to 1993 (this was great fun to drive but a little fragile)

1990 Austin Metro 1.3 GTa (white) from 1993 to 1996.

Here's my list of VW's (& Audis) -

 

90 G (BB) Mk2 8v GTI in met black - my first VW, kept for 3 1/2 yrs & heavily modifiied, featured in a few mags!.

 

91 H Oak Green 16v Mk2 (yes, one of those!)

 

92 J Mk3 VR6 in white (great engine, shiiiite car!!!)

 

95 M 1.6 Polo in Chagall Blue (heavily modified!)

 

96 N Audi A4 1.8 20v in Ming Blue (easiest driver I've ever had, superb car)

 

84 A Mk1 Golf GTI 'Campaign' in silver (why didn't I keep it?!!)

 

98 S Mk4 Golf 1.6 SE in Satin Silver (heavily modified!)

 

94 M Audi Coupe 2.6 V6 in Forest Green (2nd best car I've owned, after my C !)

 

93 L Corrado VR6 in Black (the bestest & gagging to be modified !!!)

 

My other half currently drives a 98 S Polo 1.0 in Flash Red (bless!)

 

I've also had a selection of other non VAG transport over the years, most noteable -

 

1978 S Fiesta 1300 Sport in Signal Yellow (my first car at 17, lots of DIY mods!)

 

93 L Honda Civic VTI in Silver (fast as funk, but not a VW!)

 

87 D Yamaha TZR 250 SP in Marlbro team colours (fast as funk & dangerous... yes I came off!)

 

My grand total is 13 I think, but I am 36! (and still a boy racer!)

 

Cheers,

Robbo
