since there seems to be a lot of vw guys here, i figured i'd start a thread for em. i'm just a damn newbie so feel free to delete it if it's too OT.
some pics of mine, from oldest to newest:
67 bus
73 bug
83 rabbit gti
and here's my 88 golf
note the matching schwinn stingray, we painted it when we resprayed the car. (car used to be maroon)
why is that guy in the red golf wearing a helmet.....oh. always showing off for the girls arent you??
i saw a show on the r32 last night. when i saw it on tv a few years back i was in love. what a hot rod. id kill to get a few laps around vir in that thing.
My friend just got an R32. Its a rocket off te line but I didnt think it was all that fast. I also have a Chevy with a 454, so my definition of fast is different from his. The type 3 invation is in Hershey this year. Im going to that. Another buddy of mine has a 61 notchback, but its not gonna make it there this year.
i guarentee you the r32 will smoke the 454 through the twistys. maybe in a straight line too. from 50-100 the big block will romp the volksie though. and theres nothing like having enough under the hood to spin the rear tires from 2nd to 3rd. the torino would chirpem, and it would break in the dry on expressway ramps going into 3rd. and that was an auto!
i loved that car. one of the few regrets. and god damned now i keep everything.
as a huge golf/gti fan the r32 is pretty damn cool. I'm sure it could benefit from more power but couldn't most vehicles? it's got what the m3 had just a few years ago and all wheel drive! that's the big one for me. I've dreamed of picking up an Audi turbo quattro coupe for years. now I may consider the r32 instead.
it looks like the same size as the dent in the front. whats up with that anyway?? that is a cool pic dude. i used to get the front inside wheel off of the ground in the bug around town, i wish i had a pic of that. i could actually get around corners, drag the brake and stop the inside wheel while hanging out the window to see it. what fun little cars.
he was obviously using it as some kind of armco for his house. good thinking. hey, if you ever want to store the r32, i have a nice big driveway. also a warm drive in shop.
maybe there is already a thread out there like this, but i have never seen it. On other forums, usually its a lot of fun, and you can get some really good ideas from seeing all the members rides. So i encourage you all to post a pic of your bike / bikes.
also, if you have pics of a bike you...
