    I love it. A neighbour has a yellow one with some Abarth extras. looks damn nice. A future classic for sure.

    The two 106s are slightly more modern; and I'd rather have the 106 GTi than the 205 GTi. Hell, I'd take the 306 GTi-6, as it happens!

    Haha, I've always wondered what those are like. I hear nothing but good things- including "God's own hot hatch" as one piece of praise. A shame that there's not many around any more.

    Oh it can. But 370bhp in a Golf, particularly the vaguely stodgy Mk. III, is overkill.

    thanks

    I've got a question, is it normal that the cooling fan for the radiator works when coolant temperature is about 70 degrees celcius when oil temperature is 90 degrees . Are these optimal running temperatures?

    I've got it for a week now and today a white van whit two criminal-looking dudes stopped when I was cleaning the( immensly dirty) engine bay and asked if I sold it , I replied them that I just bought it myself and there faces got sour and they just drove away.. hope I don't see them again

    Oh dear, just keep the keys up in your bedroom or something, as a safety precaucion. We used to keep our car keys on a hook in the back utility room by the back door until someone broke in, made off with my Mum's handbag, my phone, my iPid Nano and Dad's old car keys. Having heard the thief/thieves make their way out my parents came rushing into the kitchen from down the hall in the Livingroom yelling at Alex & i to get down from up here in the office. I noticed the keys were gone and was sent out to stand watch over the car whilst Dad went to look for the only spare key, the workshop key, for it. (Workshop key= small, plastic key that unlocks drivers door and gives 15seconds to get in and start the engine or all hell brakes loose). Luckily they didn't get the keys, but it meant we had to hide the car in my grandparents carport 5miles away with the car locked and my bike chain hooked around the door pull and the steering wheel, just incase the bastards did eventually find the car. 2 weeks like this and we finally traded it in for £2500 and got the current car which Dad had been planning to get later on in the year. So yeah, just incase, as you said they looked a little dodgey, keep the keys hidden and try to keep the car in view of your house.

    We have had 2 break ins in the last 5 years here, no cars were hurt in the proces though , as for my car it has an effective alarm and an owner who will not hesitate to kill ( when he hears this alarm )

    Haha, modern Audi alarms are pathetic. The just set the hazard lights going and bleep really really quietly. Compared to my friends Mum's 2005 Ford Galaxy with sets all the lights going, horn blasting, siren wailing and bleeps...
