I have had a few VAG cars over the year. Started with a rot box Mk3 Golf TDI which I sold on quickly.
Then moved onto a Mk3 Ibiza Sport

Then bought a Mk4 TDi Sport (was rebranded to FR after the facelift, same as the Fabia VRS). It was used for a feature in Redline mag. I owned both red ones in this image

Crashed the Mk4 and replaced it was a slightly ropey A3 Quattro

Then came a Mk2 Ibiza GTi Cupra Sport which was turned into a track car, would lap circuits on times similar to a slightly fettled 182 Trophy

The 2nd Red Mk4 (the one above) was bought off a friend to run as a daily alongside the track car.

I then moved away from VAG, until my Alfa died so bought another ratty Golf.
Fast forward until now and I have a Cupra 290 Black

Love the GTI. I nearly bought one of the Kiwi Yellow ones before I bought my 172 Cup in 2013/4. They looked great with the white wheels. I wasn't that impressed with the drive at the time but, looking back, part of me still wishes I'd bought it.

Love hot hatches from that era.

My old DSG R:

Best all-rounder I've ever owned, but ultimately just lacking in a bit of involvement.

 

[antnee]

As standard the Clio wipes the floor. By the time you have done coilovers, rear ARB, bushes, stripped, etc it is a completely different animal!

That looked lovely. The Prets were so much nicer than the standard wheels, and white, red and silver are great colours for the R. Far too many people went for blue.

Yeah I imagine they respond quite well to modifying, and I guess there is a lot you can do as they share so much with Golfs and Polos.

It was actually quite difficult to find bits, while lots of design was copied from the Mk2 & Mk3 Golf GTis, the geometry was different. For example, the rear shocks had the same mounts as a Mk2 Golf, but a different length.

Hair drier in their day. Becoming a proper classic now, worth sticking a clean one in a garage somewhere!

I had one of those ABF Ibiza GTi's for a bit. And my bro had 2 - he loved them. The gearbox in them was nasty though, dunno if mine was broken but first seemed to be pretty much where the tax disc went. Great value though.

Picked this up earlier, goes well

Nice

Looks lush. Love them in red.

No supersport seats though. Much of a spec otherwise?

What happened to the red M3?

it’s pretty loaded - sport diff, adaptive cruise etc. think everything except the SS seats (these can be retro fitted I guess)

full Audi SH too.

changed my mind

 

[Robbie Corbett]

You've changed.

Some people love them and others love to hate them but here's my second T6.

 

[imprezaworks]

Had one of those in the other week for work. T28 or something. By a company

I don't really get the hate. I've had a T4 and currently have a t5.1 that I've had just over 3 years.

Other than an ABS Sensor the t5 has been spot on. I tow with it, go to Scotland with it and it just keeps going despite all the horror stories online.

I have had both transit customs and transporters. To be honest as a work horse the transit was better but for something to actually want to live with the transporter is far better in my opinion.

Why can't people crop screen shots?

JOBL are based in Ellesmere port, got a friend that works there.
Theres builds are brilliant but they are really expensive.

 

[Clart]

Too busy looking at Rab jackets

 

[imprezaworks]

Care.

Nice. Lad down the road from me has one. He tells me it's over 400bhp. Sounds lovely, but never seen him drive it in anger.

You checked it out on Vcheck before buying I assume?

LOL are you going to show some pics of it smashed up or something?

No, but you know it's a fast Audi, getting smashed up and hashed back together is kind of their thing.

 

[SC03OTT]

I’ve just realised it’s an S4. Thought it was just an S-Line TDI. Whoops 😬

Couldn’t understand why folk were making a fuss.

 

[Willo40]

Looks really nice @Clart , i really like them.

 

[Clart]

Anyone know an Audi vin decoder that works ?

 

[ChrisR]

As in one that gives you the options from the VIN?

The Audi app does this from what I remember.

yes , not tried the app tbh

 

[Poopensharten]

My three Nazi b******s.

The edition 30 was rapid, quicker than the Golf R was once rolling. I lost count of the amount of cars i burned in that, seriously quick.

The R was a great motor, fantastic all rounder, as said, a little numb to drive, however would have another.

The Up was hilarious fun with 150bhp, far too expensive for what it was though.

 

[roberto.]

Yep, go on the app and add the car with the VIN number and it'll bring up the spec of the car
