Re: my little 106 gti project
great little car, there was a red/orange one on its roof friday night at the top of my road the guy was out of the car but didnt look best pleased.... quite a few cars end up in that garden one way or another.
Re: my little 106 gti project
Dawn had one of these, she loved it. I must admit, i liked it too, very slow compared to what I've had but it made it up in the handling. They're a ''chuckable'' car.

Showing my age but my mate bought a 106gti brand new back in the day, in black actually. For what they are they're pretty good. Handling is supposed to be really good, we were smoking about in 205gti's at the time and the 106 was a big step forward... At that time

On the plus side she is already talking of doing an European Tour on the bikes, Spa & The ring has been mentioned :)

Believe me I wouldn't ride it, just go there take in the atmosphere and enjoy the local roads/views... Seen enough bikers go down at the ring, that don't appeal to me :)

Re: my little 106 gti project
Love it Mark! As Adam said above I used to have a GTi, miss it sooo badly and unfortunately it never made it on track as some bint wrote it off last summer (right before ND)
You got any more plans for it?
