Default 1991 Golf Rallye-15000 m from new. Whats the point

Volkswagen : GOLF RALLYE (15K FROM NEW)

Why do people by nice fast cars and not use them.

I am also impressed how the fact that the car is still on its original (1991)tyres is put accross as a positive selling point

There's quite a bit of wear on the drivers seat for only 15k??

Had one of these a few years back and loved it! This looks a minter. Biggest problem was finding parts. Cool motor!

Got to be one of the worst wheel size choices by a manufacturer. You'd of thought they'd have made a bit more effort considering the rest of the car.

Wouldnt want to drive it on the original tyres, they will be well dangerous! (have a life expectancy of 10 years before you have to change them)

Thumbs up

Ah the penny has just dropped & I get it (sorry!) ... what I meant was the performance of the Rallye is not really all that when compared to similar priced cars ie the Golf GTi is only a tad slower, A pug 306 GTI6 must be much quicker etc.

Must have commented without thinking, doesn't happen much on here
