It's burnt me, cut me, broke me and nearly caused divorce. N/A'd, supercharged, turbo'd 12v and now turbo 24v. Labour of love some say but truth is I'm just addicted to it and never run out of stuff to do to it. Just an old Golf though to most!Here are two links to some videos of gethin's car. If you search you will find an epic one of the blowout. Happy hunting!I Love Bass video - http://ilovebass.co.uk/article/334/gethin-evans-mk3-golf/Rolling road video (not blow out one!) - http://youtu.be/aaarXIdv0UIPictures! Once again, congratulations to Gethin for making an epicly outstanding car. Edited January 3, 2014 by michael5556 VIW28, daveyboy, VR6Pete and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites
