After 21 years I'm back in a 1.9 GTI!

Hi all,

My first car was a red 1.9 GTI back in 1996. It was 4 years old with 19,000 miles on it, pics below. After two years it had 89,000 miles on it. Good times!

 

Every car that I've had since never really lived up to it, including a 306, Saxo VTS, mk4 Golf GTI (handled like a canal boat), Audi S3.

 

Anyway, I've bought a magnum grey 1.9 phase 2 non cat, just like my old one. It drives ok but needs a fair few things checking, replacing, etc but nothing major.  Then a decent service and cambelt/water pump and it's back on the road. 

 

The drive home was amazing, it took all of five minutes to be transported back all those years and get straight back to proper driving.
