oh look, another bunch of pointless trailer queens for sycophantic volkswagen fans to splurge their load over (wipe clean of course)...REAL cars get hot and dirrty... err, i mean, very nice.... Dopey curse word,.. if you read the thread all the way through he is gonna be smoking that mother around the place once the engines run it,.. trailered to its first show of course. Dammit that engine bay is the curse word! Rmad : Single carb behind the fan shroud isn't it?? |

Still getting a big fat MEH! from me. The removal of wipers is a pretty daft thing to do in my book. Unless you're dwelling in the gobi desert (in which case a spanking ride is gonna be pretty pointless anyway), then at some point you WILL encounter precipitation. Style over content gone mad.  |

This Jetta is way cool, saw it after following a link from the E38 forum  Its traditional Hot-Rodding tricks applied to a more modern monocoque saloon car. Its all about automotive sculpture - creating an individual look. Its not something I could really get into myself but I really appreciate the the work involved and the O/A effect. However I do feel some such cars are abit confused - especially when they mix motorsport influences with too much chrome & stuff  |

In with Nick on this one, it dosnt do anything for me dirty white, pretty unpractical, just a bit to max power. Still, got to give it to whoever did it for effort and skill. |

Interesting! i don't see any Max Power influence at all... No huge 18" rims but smaller, wide ones. No stick-on plastic bodykit. No neon lights. No "graphics". Stock colour. No DVD player/millions of TV screens. No huge sub enclosure in the boot. No burberry. Only one exhaust, and even that is a fairly regular size. No bucket seats with harnesses. No shopping list on the front wing. |

No burberry. ed zackly! not a bit of maxpower. it reminds me of uk cal look bugs from the late 80's/early 90's......very simple and effective styling. less is more. |

He mentions that his previous golf saw less than half a dozen days of rain in 3 years. I'd public transport it for those few days. That car is damn clean and the seats pwn. *n |

Top grammar tips!
Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated

I think it's great, definitely not Max Power and not Hot Rod either (apart from the attention to detail).
What works for me is the Retro touches, like the houndstooth fabric and the choice of colour, and the OE parts, which back up the 'brand new' feel that make it work so well.
It's the mixture of old, new, clean and simple that makes this car work for me. it's like it was built in the 70s...but the 70s are now.

...and i love it that theyve reset the mileage, cos it might as well be a new car I think they should have left it at 321,657. It's a testament to the efforts of the build team. |

Or at least only wound it back to 300,000 ;D Whilst I understand what Nick is saying, and agree to some extent, I am also impressed by the standard of work that has gone into this car, as well as the restraint shown with the modifications. I would never want to own it (like Nick, I believe that cars are for thrashing), but if I saw it at a show, I'd certainly look closely at it.  |

That is a stunning peice of machinery. I am not sure I would do it to my own wagon though. My Jetta is silver, and once its been abused through my local network of B roads its always looking like it hasn't been washed for a year or two. If mine was that immaculate I would be scared to drive it anywhere. All I can say is MMMMMM |

The flaps always look a bit gash |
