WHAT IS RETRO? this is a much discussed topic,and one which has really no answer does it! we all love are cars thats the main thing,this is probably at bit random but I just wanted to put a little point across. my retro is a mk2 golf which a lot of people don't think are retro but as it is 24 yrs old surley it is?i personaly think some retro's were just a bit modern for there time which is why I think vw's get a hard time as most cars the same age as mine look there age if you no what I mean? anyway here is some pics of her.... now fitted with a 2.8 vr ;D6

Here is one of my old car, nothing that special just a nice drop, tan leather and the best colour you can get them in. Wish I knew where it was as I buy it back! One of those car I should of never sold.

Yep , they are westmoreland spec front ends . The grille , light's , bumpers and side repeaters are the main differences . I love em !

Followed a very smart slammed MK2 on polished 'flat faced' alloys into our local B&Q today... badged GTD, I assume that means it's a diesel...??
|
|
... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down and that's not really the car's fault.

Funny how things move in circles, the first mk2 I had I went from small to big bumpers and the last mk2 I played with (about 6/7 yrs ago) I took the big bumpers off and went for small bumpers. Now I'd rock big bumpers as I prefer the look..... ;D That said, retro or otherwise the mk2 golf is the only VW I'd ever want again - I'd have one tomorrow given the chance.

Your opinion is invalid, I've seen your wife.

Mk2's were so well designed, its hard to believe they appeared in, erm 84? 25 years ago! Quite like the Sierra (which are seen less and mk1's show their age) The design can still cut it with moderns, ahead of its time, so its pretty, and old skool and modern as it kinda got it right.

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts
