    FAO: Skii

    Didn't wanna hijack your other thread so I made a new one...

    I've been informed you own a lovely 2.3 V6 Golf?

    Any chance of some pics, specs, etc? I'd love to see it

    Very nice motor, would look even better when some RS4 alloys on

    Life in the fast lane is just how it seems
    Hard and it is heavy dirty and mean

    the interior of the Mk4 is superb - extremely solid and rugged looking, no flimsy panels or loose bits, it all looks and feels totally solid. The Steering wheel is extremely chunky and nice - stitched leather

    My only grip is the design of the Glove box catch - a recognised design fault with early-mid Mk4's (catch gives way, no way of securing the glove box lid shut)

    I love the interior of the Mk4 - one reason why I've been happily driving mine around 3+yrs with no desire to have any other car
