I had a MKIII Golf, that was a hoot to drive, alot heavier than the MKII though.. ah sigh... what I really want is a mint standard MK1 with the 1800 motor in it. Now that'd be a lot of fun.

The vauxhall is a VX220, I think it might be elise based but with a bigger motor in it...

Bit of google-fu ... yep one of them (VX220)



Personally I have never driven a Golf!!

I have always been into my bikes, not really done much with cars ... that is not to say I cant appreciate a b1tching car when I see one

Oh yeah that reminds me I have been in another cool car in my time ... like this (not that one, that was just a random pic of a car like it!!!!!! )

A properly sorted MKII should be great fun to drive. You're in for a treat.

The VX220 isnt my cup of tea, but again also should be huge fun.

I was a car man before I got into bikes, different experiences, but the sense of satisfaction from driving well I think is the same as riding well.

That porsche is a masterpiece. I'd give up riding for one any day!

Lets face it, up to a ton or so even a SV650 would keep with it?? mibbie not ... but certainly a sports 600 would ... (or perhaps the speed was deceptive??)

Its a cool car, but even £119k doesn't buy you the same straight line performance as say a GSXR 1000 - and that'll cost far less than a tenth of that!!

Basically it's cool if you are into that sort of thing, but personally I'd rather have 10 GSXR1000s ... well ok not 10 Gixers but say a £30k Porsche boxter (think they are ~£30k right??) and then £90ks of exotic bikes ... I might even be tempted to get one of the new Dukes if I had that much cash to throw away!!
