The official MKIV appreciation thread

[mikinoz]

I like MKIV's and want to tell the world...

Where are all of you MKIV boys, I don't want to have to hang out here on my own!

Raise your fists, and post, post, post!

This is why I appreciate MKIV's

I loved my Mk4 once I had spruced up the suspension. Great model Mick, especially when clean & on good tyres. Tou are right tho, Is there any Mk4 owners on this forum???

Flyers

I've put heaps of flyers on Mk4 windscreens (did one today) and we rarely see an owner registering on the forum. I reckon not many of them are enthusiasts like us and also being fairly new they have few problems to discuss.

C'mon you guys...Contact me for flyers and get them out there!

cept for the odd hotted up GTI they all seem to be hot blonde chicks behind the wheel. This forum needs more hot blonde chicks! :twisted:

That would be my partner Fiona!

However she refuses to participate in car forums, like most self respecting women, as they cop heaps too much hassle... :thumbdown:

What model Tassie? Look how miniscule your calipers look! esp. the rear....

[TassieGTi]

The 18inch TSWs were always good for showing off the massive front and rear calipers They did the job though

It was a 99 GTi.....now owned by a nice young couple in Lindisfarne!

Good on Tassiegti he just about started the mk4 trend down here.
He set the standard and lots followed
Not many kids can lay claim to buying their own new GTI at 22 years of age.

But are only 2 MKIV owners that are involved with forums ATM, I cannot see any trend in Hobart at all!

Maybe it is different in Launceston?

Most trendies would show no interest in a VW forum.
They have already traded in their mk4s on new BMWs
After all mk4s came out 8 years ago. :roll:

There is a Mk IV GTi for sale here at a dealer in Canberra wants around 26k for it, have read some dispariging? motoring journalists remarks on the model (this months Motor) as being bland. What do you guys feel? (although you may be biased). I suppose with some APR or Ottetinger or Pete the VW magician work could turn it into a real beastie?

[worm]

There a very classy car IMO.... slow.... but refined..... maybe not deserving of the gti badge, but a great car. 26K is a little pricey... carsales has them for a little over 20.. and some have awsome mods!

[vinderliker]

Cool, I'll check them out. I think it was 26k but my memory is shocking.

You get a lot of car in a mk4 of any model well comparable to their German cousins BMW and Mercedes and they are twice the price and not as good.

Go and inspect a mk4 closely and you should see how good they really are
