De-badged for the hell of it.

Very nice looking car. I'm sorry I don't have anything to trade you though.

Unless you want an E36 M3. :P

Damn already Ash? Feels like I was just puking on our way to MD to pick this thing up.

GLWS. This car is an MINT example of a MkII GTI

good luck Ash. I would definitely take it off your hands if I had something to trade you.

Thanks and I love you all[like as humans and all]!

I've been playing with GTI's too long so I feel its time to move on. Anyways I have the Corrado lurking in the background so I'll still have a VW when I part with this one.
