I wouldn't feel unwelcome, in my experience it's rare that you'll get a response in under about 20 views on any forum

Welcome to the forums anyway

hello mate, yeh she's alright, just too slow at the moment!

Blimey, to me a 1.6 would be like flying a rocket

Then again, I suspect so would my sister's 1.2 corsa compared to my old 1 litre

1 of which was probably you being reverted back to the topic!

We're simple folk here, we don't like to read. We want pics!

Anyway, welcome to the forum.

1.6 slow! You sure?

Mind you, I'm yet to open mine up a bit on the open road.

mate used to have 1.3 gt squareback now has G with practically everything under the sun done to the engine, i want it to be that quick.

its only 75bhp and have you ever felt the weight of just the doors on a mk4, they weigh loads. seems especially slow after seing the golf r32 biturbo at inters last month. 3.2 0-60!!!

unfortunately I have no photos, except some very old ones of when I first got her and some on my phone. need to get some done really

My Mk2 weighs about as much as a digestive biscuit, but it still has a stated 0-60 of about 17 seconds

Just remember, even 75bhp is about 1/3 again what most of us here have
