1978 Golf L 1.1 (bright yellow!)

1983 Golf GTI MK1 1.8 - ok handling, good fat torque curve (n/f write off). Better with gas shocks, but a little harsh.

1992 Rover 220 GTI - storming 16v, but don't ask about reliability or handling, even with uprated bushes and Koni gas adjustables.

1997 Subaru Turbo. Understeer as standard, poor brakes and nice accelleration. Better now with bumpsteer geom and 4-pots. Hmm, need that sports back-box!
