Another great video Calv. I have to say I'm a real fan of power - less is more. Getting into a car with less power gives you the opportunity to explore its limits without necessarily breaking the law. Being able to rag a car in every gear and making bends and corners at high revs is awesome. I had an M140i and got rid of it because I couldn't have fun with it. On British roads it was too fast. Fun to 60 but that was it. There's no substitute for working the nuts off a car, getting out of it and feeling like you've really driven it.

Hey mate! I know this is an old comment but was wondering if you could expand on this experience ? I’m about to purchase my first ‘proper’ fast car in a few months, and the M135i is what I’ve been looking at for the longest time. But this post seems to resonate with me as I’ve been in faster cars and found myself just hitting the breaks too often.. contemplating that the focus of ‘joy’ over ‘figures’ (in terms of BHP, stats, etc) is more intelligent if you’re simply after a wicked experience.. I’ve had mates telling me to look at GTIs, Cupras & VXRs instead & now seeing your comment after randomly searching ‘GTI’ has got me thinking further

I only know about Rotiform's thanks to our FitmentIndustries boys lol. I reckon those ZMO-M's would look banging. The edge gives off a rally-style vibe while the spokes give me old skool TSW vibes. Yeah you can't go wrong with the BSS OEM style ones, and the standard multi-spokes, but this Golf has little extras that make it unique, and I reckon it deserves a unique wheel to go with.

I've never owned a Golf GTI, but I did drive my brother's when he owned one in the 1990s and I was really impressed by it.

Calvin I've owned 7 vw golf gtis. 1 x A Reg Campaign mk1 1.8 8v Gti. Had in 1995, but got stolen and burnt out. 1 x W Reg mk1 1.6 gti later 1.8 engine fitted with full Zender body kit. Had from 95 to 96. 1 x E Reg mk2 1.8 8v Oak Green Campaign Gti, with single window in front doors. Plus Big bumper conversion. Had from 96 to 97. 1 x J Reg 1.8 8v gti last of era mk 2s, with power steering etc. Although some rare K reg models around. Oak Green. 2001 to 02. 1 x G Reg mk 2 2.0ltr racing 16v conversion, 165bhp gti. Monza Blue. 2002 to 2004. 1 x Mk 3 N Reg 2.0 gti. Hated it, sold after 12 hours. Should've got highline VR6. Had 2009 1 x Mk 4 02 reg, V5 2.3 170bhp gti in Red. Had 2015 to 2017. All my gtis near the Mk 3, Had loads of work done. All with full competition sound systems (esp the Red Mk 1, and 2nd OAK Green Mk 2 on J Reg). I've yet to own an Mk5. If it a dsg Would you swap my Audi for it (shame it a manual), I'd be then I'm on target to own each mk. The Audi I have has the mk5 R32 engine in. So I can say its a kind of mk 5. But that 08 looks great. In 5 yrs after loan. Then bmw choices I planned. Or mk 6 or 7 Golf R. Love the channel Calvin. Always look forward to your next posts etc.
