[nova m@rk]

i think its the same as most new cars compaired to old ones its jus got bigger and less angular in my oppinion THE best golf was the mk1 gti
my mates got a geniune wolfsberg edition and compaird to my mates nova GTE (same engine size) its shite off a shovel built better aswell
this is jus my opinion thow

[Ben3042]

Im not to keen on the new shape, although i do like the r32, my uncle has one its pretty quick to :D

[dan_mk1]

the golf mk3, 4 and 5 are all a pile of wank! they're all oversized boats, handle like it too!
the mk1 + mk2 gti are nice cars, depends what you look for in a car i guess, imo from mk3 golfs are family cars

[-Bruce-]

i hate the new 1 :evil: the golf has gone!!

[Mark]

:o Oooh look the new golf looks like the new Skoda, like Techie has got.

NOVAMARK>>>>>>>>>>>>>

What's the "wolfsberg model" mk1 ? I was under the impression that the "Wolfsberg Edition 1" was a mark 2?????

You don't mean a "pirelli edition" or a "campaign" do you, cos these are 1.8 engined GTI's....

[tetley]

I RACED A MARK 3 GOLF gti IN MY OLD NOVA 1.2l, AND I PISSED ALL OVER IT

[GTE-RACER]

Which you start the threads to............
:roll:

[tetley]

the only thread ive started is the pug versus nova merrit and i was just taking the piss out of the nova, coz it sounds so stupid

[blingmachine]

The new one looks utter sh!te, i prefer the last model, R32's are great :D

[Rick Draper]

New golf is the best golf made since the MK1, dad and myself went out for a test drive in one last week as he is going to be getting one he thinks and it handles well and the TDi version is fooking fast for a TDi. Rick

[epo]

dont mind the news golfs
am a big fan of the mk1 tho

also what does the new fiat panda look like
cant believe they re did it

[epo]

the only thread ive started is the pug versus nova merrit and i was just taking the p**s out of the nova, coz it sounds so stupid

and the 1.0l ax that raced the sr

[Mark]

I RACED A MARK 3 GOLF gti IN MY OLD NOVA 1.2l, AND I p**s ALL OVER IT

Why don't you try driving instead of racing at some point :roll: :roll:

[epo]

i think were gettin another liamp
instead of "wanna swap ur nova" its gunna "be wanna race" all the time

[RJM25R]

NOVAMARK>>>>>>>

I am a bit of a golf anorak, and as far as me, Ian Birch (ex-dubsport owner), Paul McCallum (Ex Deutchcar owner) and Jim Cotton (Owner of Awesome GTI) are concerned there are no such thing as a Wolfsburg Edition Mk1 GTI (YES i DID EMAIL ALL THREE OF THEM TO ASK!!)_ .

Wolfsburg is the town ingermany where the factory that builds (certain) volkswagens exists. They introduced the "edition one" in 1989 as an anniversary edition because the factory was 50 years old. (it opened in 1939 building the original Beetle (or "KAFER" as it is known in Germany, which is also an insulting name called to black people in germany)

They are one of the most sought-after models because they had the G60 engine and Recaro's as standard as well as BBS RS001 Split rim wheels, chromalux glass (looks very subtle silver tint) etc etc etc.

Just the BBS rims on their own were a ?2000 option on the GTI. Yes ?2000 for the rims..... just in case you thought i'd mis-typed...

They had a super-ltd model called the G60 Fire and Ice models, that were the same spec as edition one's but in special non-stock colours, including the legendary "VW Violet Purpur" (code LC 46P) also known as Blackberry Dream and the same colour as I had on my nova (rip)

Consequently, if you want to give your mate shit, go ahead. The Wolfsberg Edition badge did not even appear on tthe VW parts microfiche until 1990 so it did not exist. Do you want the part number to REALLY wind him up???

[Stanton]

:o wow i aint gunna argue with u on that ^^^^^^^

kool as fcuk, i question, is my car the purple mensioned above or summat else, mite need sum paint soon :?

was sprayed by previous owner and i dont no the colour.

its here \/ \/ \/

[darren]

Your bob on with everthing you've said

I know cos my mate runs Club GTI Cumbria and he fills me full of this meaningless crap everyday :lol:

MK2 Edition One is the one to have IMO

[epo]

did any one see that mk1 golf in max power last march\april time
with the audi engine in it
that was built in scunny
awsomely quick can remember which engine it had in it tho

[RJM25R]

Epo>>>>

1.8 20v turbo. That's the "LET" of the VW world. It's easy to get hold of, as it's in Audi's, Seats, Skoda's and Dub's

RS>>>>

It certainly looks the same colour as I had. That is DEFINITELY th paint code for it. If you go to VW thay will give you a paint chip if they have any left (discontinued colour now awwww shame!!)

[epo]

am sure it was bigger than a 1.8
part of the engine was in the back

it was built by the lads of dubwiser which has shut down now

i think it was green ill try find it

[dan_mk1]

vr6??
aah it was in max flower, so who gives a toss!

[ade]

probably said already (cant b arsed reading 3 pages) - new gof oooks like athe new pug and a seat ibiza/leon melted together... probably rue seeing as how vw own seat...

:roll:

[Ben3042]

There's a bright yellow/green mk1 golf with two engines both running nos, that 1's shit hot, number plate reads A1 UFO if anyone knows the one im talking about. It's been mag featured so many times and has also been on the max power video's

[Hardie]

Minging but no doubt the gti etc will be stunning

[Jules]

There's a bright yellow/green mk1 golf with two engines both running nos, that 1's s**t hot, number plate reads A1 UFO if anyone knows the one im talking about. It's been mag featured so many times and has also been on the max power video's

It's OK, the problem is that it's a MK1 that they've put MK2 Gti bumpers on which look awful,anyway it's not as nice as the orange MK1 that they did though (VR6 Turbo I believe)

[RJM25R]

Jules>>>>

Orange one is rear-mounted, rear drive VR6 turbo. Tail out in short wheelbase car! Built by Ian Birch when he owned Dubsport. He took me out in it once (it was built for a customer)
Scared me shitless cos it's so tail-happy!!

Fun though


EPO>>>

The green one you are on about has got the AUDI S1 QUATTRO SPORT (old square rally car) engine and running gear in it. The gearbox i beleive is rear mounted to equalise weight distribution and i think it's 4wd..

[epo]

i was talkin 2 the lad its suposed 2 be stupidly quick

[RobIsGrt18]

theres a blue 1 iv seen up the pod with 2 engines aswell!!

[RJM25R]

That's "B16 DUB" Birchy's own car.

2xVR6 TURBO'S 4WD And allegedly 800bhp.

legendary story is when we were all at York or Pod and after a ferocious qtr he got out of the car covered in oil! the rear engine had gone bang.
He still drove home with the front engine! The guys face in the tractor who came to tow him away had a shock when he just started up and drove off!!!

He's sold it now.

[epo]

:o u certanly know ur golfs mate :!:

fook! :o

[beatin u]

the new golf just looks like a 307, which aint good in my opinion, even if it is built well i just don't like it...along with 95% of modern cars.

mk1 and 2 rule though. and any newer golf with a gti badge doesnt deserve it, there too refined. imo

[dan_mk1]

'gti' is a spec level really, well to vw anyway!
