Can Our GTI Legally Go on the Road After 20 Years?

Meguiar's products 👇
www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinm...
This week, Jack, Ethan and Edwin attempt to get the abandoned Mk2 VW Golf GTI project finally finished and legally back onto the road. They'll clean it up with a satisfying detail, then take it for the UK's challenging inspection, the MOT. Will it pass and be ready for a roadtrip in the next episode, or will it fail and need more mechanical work after the tester finds everything wrong with our GTI?

I've said this before and I'll say it again, Jack has turned into a QUALITY presenter. Awesome confidence and delivery!

[@samuelgarrod8327]

Fookin right. Fine journalism. 👍 I've not subbed to Anal Alex because it's way way too shouty.

what happened to the short guy?

You can see Jack is growing into his lead role and Edwin is a cracking addition to the team!

When Alex left I thought this would maybe just end slowly and at first I wasn’t sure if I was enjoying it but… I’m definitely starting to enjoy it again, it’s come on leaps and bounds since, jack you’re smashing it, keep going lads!

[@theelichtje3]

Honestly think it's better this way

[@shona5512]

100%. Alex was overly sarcastic and often came across as if he was trying too hard to be funny when he was on Car Throttle, it sometimes came across as mean spirited (mainly when it was directed at Ethan). Alex is much better on his own channel and has become a better presenter when he's surrounded by people like Taylor that match his energy. Likewise, this channel has become much better with Jack taking on the role of the main presenter, he's self deprecating and sarcastic without coming across as hateful, and Edwin is mechanically knowledgeable while also being effortlessly funny. The role switch up was the best thing to happen to both channels.

[@theelichtje3]

@@shona5512 couldn't have said it better!

[@MinotaurvsCyclops]

​@@shona5512Agreed, Alex on CarThrottle always played the role of the sarcastic but sensitive bossman

[@samuelgarrod8327]

Alex couldn't have made a huge difference, just look at the subs.

[@louisholloway1079]

I've just bought a mk2 golf and it's a lot easier buying one that's already on the road

[@alisonb4898]

What fun is that…pulling the engine and your hair out, cleaning it and your bank account out, trying to find your sanity while trying to find all the replacement bits that are missing or broken are all the things you could look forward to 😂

[@stubbk3]

If you have a spare £9k lying around prices are still insane . I won't be owning another oak green GTi sadly

[@louisholloway1079]

Oh this engine isn't staying in jt haha going something else

[@connoryz125]

That’s like putting a rubber on while your misses is already on the pill what’s the fun in that 😂

[@scottnotsteve5704]

What a series this is turning out to be! Sub 14 minute BTG ?👍

[@AshleyWilliams12345]

“It’s going home” at the end is so heart warming, it bought a tear to the eye.

[@Spliter131]

I'm impressed - Jack is incredible now. Also, new tricks/camera pans etc. are a great addition. 10/10, heck time to watch CT again

[@XenFPV]

Alex was absolutely the centre of the Car Throttle team, and the channel could have suffered without him. The dynamic now is great though, and the content is as good as ever! The only problem is there isn't enough of it!

[@Mr007jamster]

I never liked Alex.

[@PedroTheEpic]

I think they replaced the rear right brake caliper

[@scoobysean555]

When ? I must of missed that bit 😂

[@estonianperson1112]

No, that was the rear left caliper!

[@jcc3494]

The question is, did they replace that many (which is possible) or was it comedic effect

[@unicyclingistheshit]

they also replaced the rear right brake caliper

[@suspiciouserror2920]

Just got a mk2 GTI, already bought 13 rear right brake calipers

[@oliverloseby4966]

Proper wholesome content, love it

[@daverome8855]

I love the fact you guys haven't made it mint, it looks used and like a true survivor, 100% the best decision to keep the rust patches and the imperfections, thats part of the cars story. Looks great 😊

[@smashyrashy]

Imperfections i agree but i would never leave rust

[@rajayusuf3288]

Rust kill it. Not to leave it otherwise its called rust killer 😅

Jack, Ethan and Edwin are all really fun to watch. Top work guys, this has been a brilliant series.

Bringing a car back to life is definitely a challenge. Basically, anything that is made from, or contains rubber ir plastic will need replacing. I know, having had several petrol and coolant showers!

[@notesonwheels]

Again, amazing content, a billion years better than before.

[@nicksims2827]

I can’t believe Edwin didn’t end that list of changes they made off-camera with a cheeky “and very well done if you got any of those at home.” A golden opportunity missed to confirm that he’s Richard Oscan’s voice twin

[@TheSpectre223]

Fair play lads, love seeing vehicles getting saved like this. Obviously it's winning no awards for looks any time soon but it could and should be on the road for many more years now

[@FabioSilva-sc5uy]

this brings me back! i had a mark 2 gtd with the same exact issues you guys encountered, brake system is a pain to fix and its a chronic issue with golfs, the headlights the same, leakages everywhere, the water radiators on those used to break easily, same with the water reservatory... i miss that car everyday! 600k km in and i finally sold it due to overheating that i couldnt waste time or money into!
