Bought my new car today, finaly found a VW Golf, a car i have loved since i dont know when.
52 Plate
1.8 GTI Turbo.
150BHP  0-60 8.2 Secs (but can be done in 7.8 alegedly) top speed 138mph.
BEAST!!

you only turn into a chav when you lower the suspension, put in florescent lighting, tint the windows, beef up the alloys and play snoop and thingy west. all done outside halfords.

what you are is an old boy racer.

Only if it's a 2 door black Golf.

its is black but 3 door :-p

so macdonalds is ok then?

phew

Smart arse!

It's a pretty bog standard car, no.

the golf as a whole is, but not the 1.8 t gti, due to stupid insurnace prices, i cant imagine what an 18-21 year old would pay judging by what i just did.

I didn't mean it in a bad way but they can be remapped to silly horse power. What group insurance is it?

thats true si, its group 16 i think but that means nothing to me :-p

Can the Mark 4 version (which I presume yours is) of the Golf be chav? It always looked the more sensible version of the Golf to me.

Golf's aren't as chav as they were, I happen to think VW is one of the more premium brands. Besides, the majority of the old golf crowd have migrated to 3 series BMW's these days.

I'm lowering my car and already got my new wheels (17in) but i really aint a chav. Just want to make it look a bit better as a standard 5 door Ford Escort is boring  :zzz:

A friend of my had a 1.8t gti mk4 at the age of 19. Now has the vr6  :eek:

17 inch wheels aint gonna make a 5 door escort any less boring :gay: :D

Don't forget to put a baked bean can round the exhaust ;)

No, but it will make it a whole shitload more chavvy

 :eek: No chance  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Not doing the whole huge back box and other stuff. No much will help it be less boring but I got to try. Thinking of smaller wheels anyways. Only reason I got them was my mate was going to scrap them and sold them to me for £10  :D

And the only reson I got the escort is because i got it off my cousin for £100  :D

are escorts tax exempt now :D

How much Burberry do you wear?

Dont have any, dont want any :D
Im really not a chav....init

Should have gone for a vr6 or modernised r32. My Rover VI does 0-60 in 7.3. 1.8 VVC engine. As light as fook. Saying that, in comparison to looks I'd take your beast anyday!

What do you mean by modernised r32? An R32 is has only been about for the last 2 generations of the golf and the VR6 hasn't been around for donkeys. With regard to an old VR6 over a GTI, it'd have to be the GTi everytime. The age of the VR6 and the fact it'll have been ragged all it's life will mean it'll have bugger all over the turbo'd GTI, in fact it's pretty much a given to have lost it's fizz. It also doesn't have that issue of a big heavy lump up front and the same FWD set-up. I think a GTI would eat it alive every time, especially through the corners.

I think you've made a great choice chubbs. I love VWs. :D

I wouldn't say it was chav, more likely to be a mid life crisis or because you have a small willy

Wrote that after a few shandys I meant 'the more modern' opposed to 'modernised'.

A VR6 would wipe the floor with the Turbo especially a highline. I have seen it with my own eyes. Only the R32 will fend one off at top end.

As said a GTI everytime owing to looks and class.

Oh i see. :)

Yeah, a decent well looked after one would be quicker, as well as pulling harder at licence loosing speeds and 50-70, but you have to remember it's gonna be over 10 years old and most are gonna be treated like shit, so therefore will be so down on power it will be embarrassing. My car is 10 years old and is serviced every year. It's nowhere near as punchy as it was, noticeably so. (Also, the one you link to is modified with a supercharger, so is obviously gonna be quicker, as well as more expensive.)

Like this one... ;)

That thing is silly fast.

Years ago my Geordie mate kept on about 'Charvers' - kinda similar to Pikeys; I had never heard the phrase before. Then from nowhere sprung the prase 'Chav'. Does 'Chav' come from 'Charver'? I aint seen my mate for a while so can't ask him.

no

Mk1 Golf GTI is where its at.
