MCM does a Golf!

[gecko2k]

Sorry but mcm got it wrong here. They mock jdm style fanboys for their mainstream style, but go mainstream on the golf themselves....

Trying to catch new audience on the cheap?

I couldn't disagree with you more. What you believe to be mainstream is certainly not the publics perception of mainstream. Which is why its a pertinent moment when the guy in the MK6 GTI gives the MK3 a 10/10 yet gives his own car a 5. Other than google image searches, I haven't seen Golfs like this driving around Sydney (well anywhere in Australia actually) Of course they exist and within the VW community are probably well known, but they are not mainstream at all.

(I'm scared to think of what your idea of a mainstream lady looks like but I hope she isn't rusty and cambered)

And as far as "mocking" JDMstyle - most of the MCM cars are "JDM" so whats being presented has a strong element of self mockery. Little kei cars, a 1.3L converted Cuore with buckets of camber - thats what MCM is. Crappy cars mostly done on a budget. I love JDM - have imported multiple cars from Japan. I also love VW's - have owned 4 all up including 2 GTI's and currently still own one. Passion, enthusiasm, and having a go at something new is not "wrong".

I think you may have missed the underlying theme of the video.

...they're just taking the pizz out of us, themselves and the car modding scene at large, good quality entertainment.

Good to see you back on here!
Also nice to see a return to euro as in season 1 and 2 with the Mk4 GTI and the S3.


Watched it last night as it's blocked at work.
Had a laugh, saw some garage car mods, was surprised Jap beer doesn't cause rust and thought it looked pretty awesome for a cheapy head-turner.

I was wondering if you would jump back on here for a look Moog.

I enjoyed the video, as I do all your other MCM vids.

I'd hate to think someone would go and do this to thier own car now, especially something that was so (seemingly) tidy.

Never been a fan of the 'rat' look on newer cars (anything newer than a 69 beetle, and it's just wrong imo!), however it does serve its purpose - it is attention grabbing! (Not sure if that classes as street cred though :s)

Did you really buy a Jeep?
