Speaking of which.....

Anyone make a Mk. IV GTI? My Wife has a 2004 I'd like to replicate some day.

I have a Fujimi Golf GTI started. Not a bad little kit. The AMT one is really hard to find. Wish they would repop it.

Haven't studio shot this one yet - but it's a Tamiya Golf V.

That's actually a Mk. IV, the same as my Wifes's, but a 4 dr. I guess if I have to, I can do some surgery. But then that makes it a "project" that will never get done in a timely manner.As a matter of fact, just last night we discussed maybe selling the VW and get a new one. Might be a moot point...

What the heck is a V5? Something else to google...

What the heck is a V5? Something else to google...

Volkswagen introduced the first V5 engine, though this engine is not a true twin-bank V engine, but rather a VR5, or staggered bank straight-5 engine, and therefore not a true V5. It does not have one cylinder bank with 2 cylinders and one with 3; rather, it has all 5 cylinders sharing a single bank. The engine is derived from the VR6, and is thus a staggered 5, and has much in common with Volkswagen's earlier straight 5 developed in the 1980s for the Passat and Audi Quattro.

I did a quick search . Pretty cool stuff
