[oneblueleg]

Anyone else got a not so secret something else... I polished them at the w/e and was sad enough to picture them together...

[320Touring]

lovin it!

two pieces of fine german open top engineering!!!!

What engine is in the cab?! (please say a 1.8 8v GTI lump,please say a 1.8 8v GTI lump)

good plan too-FWD for the rain, and RWD for the dry!!

[Sjoerd320i]

please say 2.0 gti 16v

[oneblueleg]

Oh dear, what a disappoint for you all, sorry...

It was many years ago, insurance was a consideration, as was the amount of limbs, or lack of, I had to operate foot pedals...
It's a 1.6 Auto... still quite nippy though, the throttle is operated in the on or off position, and the handling makes it quite fun...

It's lasted me 12 years without serious outlay, and sails through the MOT every year... couldn't ask more of it

That's pretty cool having two old school Cab's!!

[320Touring]

329i Turbo

2.0gti lump?in a MK1 shelled cab?nope!

16v is too many, and I dont think that lump is as tractable or drivable IMHO.

guess i'm just oldskool

1.8 16v at a push, but only cos it sounds nice!

my old toledo had a 90bhp version of the 1.8 8v GTI lump (single point instead of multi) and it has more torque than the 90bhp 1.9 TDI i replaced it with-F00king great engine!

[320Touring]

gotta love a Vdub

does it lift its inside rear wheel if you're turning a tight corner fast?!the MK1 was known for that!

at least its not a 1.3, walking is faster and more fuel efficient

I think it understeers too much to do that lol

[Jason-E30]

[jamie325isport]

Is it the diesel version i had a 2.0 litre D as a company car when they first came out really was painfully slow!!

[Jason-E30]

No its a 2.3 diesel,bit quicker than a 2.0,they should have put a turbo on it, tight buggers lol.
