[copied from my thread]

Here's my two cars..

Firstly, my every day car.

It's a 1982 VW Golf GTI, with a turbocharged 1.8 litre 8 valve engine, pushing over 200bhp. The car weighs 866kg, so it goes pretty well.

Second, my weekend toy..

Built for the track, it's a 1972 mini 1000.. with a tweaked metro turbo engine, a 1.3 litre turbocharged 5 port. It's quite a laugh, if a bit scary. Torque steer is emmense. It's not been set up properly on a rolling road yet (as I'm poor) but I'm hoping for at least 150bhp with it.

I think I'm a bit stupid for having no 'real' car to get me about - but meh, I like the worry of breaking down everywhere I go..

Any other mini/vw fans on here?
