    Just bought a Mk2 GTI

    As the subject says, just bought a Silver 91 MK2 GTI and pick it up tommorow night!

    Pics will follow asap!!

    It runs nicely but has a few dents/cosmetic issues etc to sort out at some stage.

    From the info I got off here It appears to be a German built car too, good or bad?

    Anyway, please keep the "Good luck, you will need it" comments to a minimum

    There are few things more satisfying in life than finding a solution to a problem and implementing it

    Probably fix cosmetic things first, let my wife relax for a few months, then look at the power plant options for sure!

    digi-lag is a term used for digi2 cars, when you put your foot down the car lags for a bit then picks up, putting a powerchip in will fix this
