[The Beast]

I think I might be being a little nostalgic too, but for me it has to be my first two cars. A MKll Golf GTi 8v and a MKll Golf GTi 16v after I wrote the first one off within six months of buying it

They handled great, were pretty quick (especially the 16v as it was heavily modded and rolling road tuned) and I could do most of the maintenance myself.

Although I have owned many technologically superior cars since there's something about the simplicity of these old cars that I loved... They were relatively easy and cheap to modify for looks and performance
