What do love about your Mk2?

the fact that after being off the road since january, and me encountering every problem possible while trying to get the new engine running and MOT sorted, i still love it and cannot wait to drive it again!

 

The fact that mine is coming off SORN in the next couple of weeks and I'm already imagining turning the key for the first time, confident it will start, hearing that burble that you don't get in modern metal and feeling the feedback through the steering of those first few miles. Taking it easy until the oil is properly up to temprature, taking care with the gear changes, blipping on the downshift, then get it onto my favourite straight and see the needle hone in on the red. The feeling of being more connected with this machine in those few miles than the 100k miles I've done in my diesel auto Passat....

 

Me too mate Ive been working on mine for two years now, cant wait to get back behind the wheel

 

Mine's been tucked up in a barn waiting for the sun to re-appear.... got to get it T&T'd ready for the pilgramage to Le Mans in a few weeks.....

If I could work out how to paste a picture in here, I'd post an image of a J reg Oak Green 8v........

 

* Upload picture on photobucket

* Copy the direct link from the image

* When posting on here, click on the insert image tab on top of the reply to thread text box

* Click ok and post image. Should appear straight away

 

Thanks for the help... Hopefully this has worked....

 

The fact it still looks mint @ 20 years old -

 

Rich @ any excuse to post picture up of his Mk2

Rightly so, as it sits very nicely & looks uber clean

 

Cheers Ben

Its got to be done :-)

 

The retro styling. Solid, simple and still to be appreciated.

I think the early kitted GTI's and the VW Transporter of the same age are wonderfully styled.

 

I still love the little buzz I get as I walk up to it in a car park or out on the street, sat there in all it's boxy glory

 

i have one

 

The fact that i've put my mark on it.

And this.

 

fantastic, a deserved prize, was gawping at your mk2 at players last year in much awe

 

cleaning it!

 

mines got to be, when your driving in the dark and there is another golf with the round head lights on behind you, because you can distinctively recognise the car and both know your both driving with the same feeling in the pit of your stomach!!

 

Because Its special and it's mine.........

 

Yawn, are we ever going to hear the end of this?

 

LOL, You truly do love your golf!

 

The way it makes me giggle when i put my foot down and then goose bumps while trying to slow down in time for the roundabout!
