I love the article, amazing coverage of the show and some really cool cars, but I just can’t get over the looks of that scirocco… I normally love them, and for what it’s worth that one does deserve a ton of credit for it’s condition… But man that kit just doesn’t work for me… I feel like in ten years if someone kept their Fast and Furious: Jesses Jetta replica… That if it has low miles and perfect paint it should win best in show?? Hell no, it wasn’t cool at the time, and still isn’t. And unless you got sucked into the franchise that created some of the worst rice of our lifetime, it will never look good to you. I’m sure the car has a good story, and a good owner, just think there are a lot of people who are acting like it’s amazing when a lot of us are too afraid to say what we are thinking lol

Hotcakes perhaps to the owner, it’s as special as a Ferrari? Try keeping a car alive, let alone pristine, over an extended period of time. Having done it myself (22 years and counting on a Datsun I acquired), it’s not at all easy. Can’t afford the Ferrari without liquidating everything, so to me, the Datsun might as well be the F or P car.

Other Will TarmacTerrorist Hotcakes DC5 integers are going for about ten grand regardless of their…. ropiness….I’m finding atm, considering I can buy and import for that plus another grand from JPN makes me a sad panda. I feel your pain dude, but it does prove my point rather well though:)

TarmacTerrorist Hotcakes I tried to find a EK4 Civic last month, nothing left is in good condition. Same goes for the 1.4 non-vtec. I had a 1.4 once, sold it for peanuts because ‘there’s loads of them right?’ All that’s left are EK9’s which I can’t really justify around £7000 for. I can almost buy a Audi RS4 for that kind of money.

Hotcakes Here in the Uk everyone used to say the same about renault fives… and rover metros/mk3 xr3i’s/RS Fiestas (yep they exist), e30 beemers… the list goes on, and on…, “It’s not like it’s a collector’s $15m classic Ferrari either. It’s a XYZ.” now though, as 20 years has passed, its those once overly popular XYZ cars that are no longer around, those are the cars people dream of and look back fondly on, they are also as mentioned the overly popular cars everyone scrapped as “theres loads about right?” causing a shortage – another example of this is the E-Type Jag. one of the most popular cars of its times, my dad back in the 70’s lived on a road with 18 (!) of them…. and he lived in rosebud bay, Australia… now though? very few exist globally. My Father himself has been looking for a good 67 EH Holden (a very popular car back then in Aus) without any real luck as yet again: the curse of popularity strikes. not many about, those that are about are finished projects or wrecks that will never drive.

Popular cars are the ones worth keeping as eventually – everyone scraps the lesser, shabbier cars and you are left with a rare, stock (if thats your thing) car that turns heads.

Thats not to say though it has to be cherry fresh and un tuned, I have a friend who drives a mk3 RS Fiesta (1600i Turb not the 1800 NA) sure its driven in the dry, waxed to within a micron of its paint but its heavily modified and driven any chance he gets…. Kids driving mk5 and upwards fiestas these days….. most have never even seen a mk3 fiesta let alone a Rally Spec with a T3 Garret hanging in the bonnet. they slow down going past it outside my apartment, Its inspired one mk5 owner to hunt down a body kit locally! a fiesta bodykit! Its AWESOME that his outwardly mostly stock rarity has inspired another driver to try something different- its great fun watching the dads introduce their sons to the car they wished they owned back in the day but thought they never would see on the street again… “new classic” ownership goes waaaay deeper then most would expect – its about preserving for the generation that follows and inspiring them.

I will end here before I start pointing out all the hondas (y personal weakness) that have disappeared from the roads because of their own popularity… or the other jags, renaults, pugs, mitsi etc etc.

excuse the length of the post and the bad use of english, its the downside to an ex-penal system education.

Dat Jetta, looking forward to the feature!
Also, pretty impressive how the Scirocco looks with its stock paint after 30 years, guess it never spent a night outside the garage
