Guest couzens Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Right everyone,Just got back from this and what a day! My gob dropped when the MK1 GTI was unloaded from the transporter!! especially with 39,000 miles on it. Was a A reg with the BBS bodykit but was silver, so reckon it had been re-sprayed. It was VW's own hertiage car. They had this MK1, an 8V MK2 GTI in black with 129 miles or something = 90 spec, MK3 16v GTI in red as well with I think 39 miles on. Then there was my VR6, a couple of cabs, one MK4 GTI, one TDI 2.0 MK5 and the beast R32. Oh Golf Rallye as well.So all these cars were put in a circle, photographed from above then taken to the top of the test track and photo'ed individually against the skyline/backdrop. Whilst all this was happening, I got the chance to try the R32, once with the journalist in-charge and then on my own. With him there was so much sliding and smoke as he took the ECP off. There was a section where you go round and round following this white line that gets smaller and smaller until eventually the car is on full lock with the back end just sliding out. Then he took me down the test track (after the Porche's had buggered off that Auto express where playing with) and I nearly had kitten's!! That was scary even by my standard, but it was fun to drive myself. Pulling away all it wants to do is get into 6th gear the whole time = mental.Anyhow shall let u all know when the feature comes out 8o) Oh, ps. got to drive the new BMW 530 as the guy photographed it on the track at 20mph with him hanging out of the boot of the MK5 and sorry for all the gloating!!!
