POLO GT breadvan - Yes, it works!

Too many readers think this thing doesn't run. Checkout out the video!

POLO GT 'breadvan' - see it run here!


Our MAY 2008 issue with Tony Payne's stunning Mk1 Cabrio on the cover seems to have been well received by the GOLF+ reading masses, but there's been a few too many emails questioning whether the white Euro POLO GT 'breadvan' in it actually, er... runs.

And you know, that's a fair call because we too actually questioned its ability when we first saw it. And once we we're sure it actually could run, we were then a bit unsure if in fact 26-year-old owner Thomas Owczarski ever actually did run it.

And the simple answer is, yep, he does! Okay, not much, but those wheels are turning and the engine is kicking over. So there ya go!

Check out the POLO GT breadvan moving by clicking the link below and scrolling down to the 'video camera' drawing. You'll see a pic of the GT on screen, then just click on it ;)

And yeah, we agree it's a mega cool car that we just had to have in the mag.

Catch ya...

GOLF+ JUNE 2008 cover

JUNE 2008

There's always a great reward for Dubbers when expected cool cars and projects debute at a major show, but there's an even greater thrill for us when a stunning motor that shies away from the pomp and ceremony slinks its sexy self into a show only for punters to end up showering it with praise. The 'small-light' G60 Mk1 gracing our cover today is testimony to the hard work, meticulous dedication and insurmountable perseverance of owner Mark Evans. This mint example does the British Dub scene proud, quietly going about its business of wooing crowds and inspiring the Mk1 masses. Top stuff we say, and we hope you enjoy.

Also inside we've two awesome rides that pass wind in the faces of their rivals when it comes to maximising the old power-to-weight formula. The home-grown twin-cam 16v Mk2 Polo Coupe is an awesome bit of kit, whose light-weight theme is glorified in the Mk1 Golf Berg Cup 1.6L 20v race monster GOLF+ scooped. Yep, 10,000rpm in a car never looked so good, so be sure to check it out!

But if a bit of bling with power is your thing, then the chromed-up hillclimb-engined Euro Mk1 is bound to hit your g-spot, while the welcome randomness of the new-wave New Beetle has styling cues that make it quite the saucy beast.

Shows? Our pictorial of Elsecar hopefully captures the spirit of this old faithful event, while a damp Spring Festival turned out to be a top gathering all things considered, as did the Dutch VW-SPEED.NL season opener we checked out recently, too.

And finally, for all you tech heads looking for a tad more guff than in our The Brain Q&A section, we visited G-Werks for Part 1 of our G60 rebuild How To...

Other than that we'll catch you later. Enjoy.
