Just finished cleaning my daily driver so thought I'd put up a few photos for you:

2002 VW Golf V6 4motion

This was the car that replaced my 07 STI so it had a tough act to follow but 8 months and 10,000 miles later she's doing just fine. Great cruiser on the motorways, oodles of grip regardless of conditions and of course makes the best noise of any MK4 Golf bar its big brother R32.

Currently 100% standard but once we've bought the house we'll fit some 18s, stiffer springs rollbars and a fruity Milltek.















So as far as the log book goes, that's my car but up next is the car I've bought for the missus to replace her old MK4 GTI, although I drive it more than she does.

This is a 1994 1.8 Eunos Roadster S-Special which is again 100% standard. So far we've changed the rear tyres, added a windbreaker, Apline headunit, window protector, new roof and some new halogen lamps. Cheap to run, service and is the most fun I've ever had in a car, while moving smile I cannot recommend one enough.

I don't see us changing anything on it other than adding a better exhaust as it's pretty much perfect out the box.









In case you're wondering both cars were shampooed with Meguiars NXT Generation car wash then claybared using Meguiars clarbar and quick detailing spray. Finally the Eunos was finished with Meguiars NXT Tech Wax 2.0 and the V6 was done using Autoglym HD wax (£40 a tub but very good results).

Hope you like them both smile

Two very nice motors indeed, especially loving the BBS wheels on the MX5, a friend/colleague has an MX5 in black as well. Golf should sound awesome with a suitable Milltek fitted!

Cracking pair (fnar)

Both look really clean, but i'd do one thing to the Roadster - get rid of that awful chrome strip running around the middle of the car. It's awful (in my opinion)
