Tom Booth Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Out of interest, why not get a golf? A caddy will offend you in the corners coming from a mini. haha.I'm more looking at Caddys for the practicality of it being a pick up if I'm honest! Just recon it'd make such a good workhorse (obviously not lugging cement about) I also just love the Caddy look, Looking in an old copy of Golf+ there's a mk1 in there, with the 16v KR engine, recons it'll still return a healthy MPG crusing but will still chase down the best of the new breed of hot hatches. Seems a win win to me. Might be going to look at a few over the comming week, I'm more intrested in sitting in one thou, 6 foot 4 isn't all it cracked up to be...

Pashley26 Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 It is just a wrap, and it is different. But it's not different in the current VAG scenes. EVERYONE and there dog has a camo wrap nowadays...You gotta think, Burn it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I was looking at caddy's a while ago, the thing that stopped me going for one in the end was just the lack of back seats. Its never gunna be a performance car, so I couldn't justify it as anything other than a daily, and 2 seats isn't enough for a daily if you ask me.They do look immense though. Although unfortunately once lowered you cant really put any weight in them anyway, so the practicality falls a fair bit. And a caddy that isn't slammed is just plain unacceptable.

Tom_ Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Lol my mate at college has a caddy, looks pretty good, despite being about 80% filler.Hes half way through sorting it out I think, looks pretty nice, got an 8v GTI engine in it. Dunn ohow it goes though.I might quite possibly have a mk.2 driver 1600 this time in two days REALLY need to shift my corsa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 (edited) Lucky you, mine just snapped its drive belt.

Tom Booth Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Minds made up now, massive change of plan too...AAz/GTD engine , Slammed, ATS Classics, awwww yeah.(If I get my mits on a GTD then I'll intercool it, T3 turbo and boost valve for around 14-15 psi, should make for a fast little diesel, theres one on Caddy forum running the same engine at 150 bhp with 186ft/lbs!!)
