Mr V's Golf VR6

[Mr V]

So, I've moved to oz from Sweden and found it very annoying and tricky to obtain a decent and not stupidly priced VR. As these cars here sell for at least 50% more than back home i've just refused buying. BUT, after rolling around in my volvo 240 for a year the urge and desire to get back into a vw was to overpowering!!! SO, i finally went and paid more than needed for a car that needed / needs some love and care!
But at the end of the day, I'm now smiling every time i have to drive somewhere

Here are some pictures of the volvo, the current VR6 that i bought and a pic of my "old" mk3 GTI 16V! So sad the 16v mk3 didn't sell here because it was just amazing!

The old 240 tank =P





The new beast! =D









See next post -->

oh.. forgot my mk4 gti with 245hp hihi

This one was seriously quick!!

VW for life!

Cheers guys

The VR6 only sold ~ 739 cars in Australia so it's a bit of a rarity. Becoming more and more so as the days go by too. We also missed out on a number of different models including the 16V Mk3 and the Mk4 24V VR6

[Mr V]

aah ok, well that explains it! yeah the mk4 vr6 was pretty cool to =) sounded awesome. You guys also missed out on another one of my favourites, mk3 vr6 2,9L (192hp) syncro (4x4). Endless grip and lots of fun in the snow

Welcome mate. Gotta say the VW model choices and girls over in Sweden are a lot better than down here, don't know why you would come down under!

My phone is loading your pics stupidly slow so won't be able to have a peeve 'til I get home!
