LEGENDS NEVER DIE.. AWD R30T VW GOLF v 4X4 VXR NOVA

[@MrTaz500]

See how much better a manual gear change race is.

[@Gofast1234]

Where drivers drive theyr cars not the cars drive for them 👏👏👏🤘

[@cnewbz8582]

100% man so much better

[@TUFFGUY-xp1hk]

Unless you do the money shift 😮

[@dominikkozela9763]

I keep saying this. Watching people drag race automatics effortlessly is so boring. Especially when it's newer "stage 1-3" cars

[@rossmeikle8037]

So much more drama 👌🔥

[@TheCluelessEnthusiast]

I love the way the cars kept changing positions with every gear change in the first roll race. These old school cars are so much more entertaining to watch than the modern stuff. I don't care if they're slower.

[@j490tgm]

1000% that’s what a real race is all about!!!

[@Manu-Official]

@@j490tgm I reckon the Nova would have had a chance on the rolling race if the driver had geared up earlier.

[@TheCluelessEnthusiast]

@@Manu-Official i agree. Possibly would have gone into 2nd easier if he shifted earlier

Need to get the 106 quiksilver vts vs pals saxo vts on the runway 🏁

[@bricktop2090]

The day's when the drivers were in full control of the cars without Computer assist 🏆

[@JordanW92x]

THIS is the sort of stuff people want to see, big power manual old school cars that you have to drive, sound ace, and owners that are absolute geezers with love for each others cars. I don’t think there’s many people that would disagree with that either 👌🏼

[@1973miniclubman]

Bang on mate. Proper nice bit of kit. Credit to both owners for being so humble 👌🏻👌🏻

[@edvelfilms]

Robert is never cocky about the races, which makes him one of the best racers, and humble enough to enjoy every single race, even when he knows he's gonna lose. Love every episode he's in.

[@gumbovti]

Thank you for that I’m really not bothered about the win it’s obviously a little better of a feeling but the adrenaline rush from a close race is hands down so much better

[@houseking9211]

He clearly just love cars, and loves the feeling of racing. It's so cool to watch him have so much fun while gushing over how much he loves the other guys car

[@pretty00lights]

Yeah I totally noticed that too. What a nice fellow. We need more people like that in this world

[@_LuisS]

This is why old school is the best school. I want the nova back.. These 2 are pure blood racers. Once again, well done Robert.

[@euanscotland]

These are too cool for any skool bro

[@edvelfilms]

Yup, that nova needs to check that clutch and be back in a good fight. Shame it didn't worked as planned, it would have been a bloody fun drag race.

[@MrChady1989]

Love how excited Robert gets proper petrol head

[@Leeholtom2911]

Retro manual cars are where it’s at Jamie!! These are hands down the best races to watch!!

[@ashtonworth6288]

There no loser here, both sick cars, both sick drivers and it's old skool all the way.

[@Gofast1234]

Finally some proper races with all the driver skill 🤘 No new aids for easy driving 😝😜

This video was brilliant. Just 2 blokes having tons of fun with 2 old school beasts. Also, Jamie, you manage to make every single video you post super enterataining

[@jasperpearce8316]

Oh the memories! Back when everything was straight swap, plug and play, these just have extra sauce. Love it!

[@RatchetMonkey]

This is what I'm talking about, no rev n go just savage boost and banging gears l. Love it!!

[@MidlandsCoding]

I've met Robert before, I did some coding work on his previous MK4 Golf R32 and I repaired the MK3 Golf instrument cluster and set the mileage on it for the install into this awesome R30T MK2 Golf. Great to see him driving the wheels off it, hoping to see it evolve even more. That VR6 sound!

[@Buck3366]

The Nova sounded angry but that Golf sounded like Godzilla stood on an upturned plug !!

[@N1NJAKIDD]

Good one😂😂

[@gumbovti]

🤣🤣

[@lachyaplin5198]

Love the sound of a vr6 turbo. Sound so angry

[@steveromeocars]

Mine sounds like that xD

[@andydiamond5818]

What a pair of absolute legends both cars and drivers! Respect lads nothing but love no arrogance or nothing like that just good vibes n 90s hot hatches 😁 that golf’s savage I want it 😍

[@randomguyontheinterweb]

I love how Jamie knows how to match cars. So many other channels have the worst matchups possible, and then I can't figure out why it's not a good race

[@ramidufernando7394]

Best drag race ever seen. So close both cars and well driven by the owners 👏❤

[@nelg1973]

2 fantatasic proper old school cars. Robert is such a great character , has to be one of the best guests ever.👌🏽

[@Life_In_The_Tow_Lane]

This is what sundays are about. Absolutly banging. Gutted that the Nova didnt perform on the drags. Golfs on point. I was a Nova guy in the 90s so id be rocking up in my 1.2merit with full sri conversion 😂.. but now a Golf guy.

[@craig-robinson]

Golf guy has been great every time he’s been on the channel. Fully commits to every launch!

[@christianstratford668]

Got to be one of the best this, no show boating from either driver, just raw passion and love for the cars. Love to see it ❤

[@bespoke500]

No stage talk bs here just proper turbo cars 😎

[@daddyabdul6125]

One of the best races on the channel hands down. Very close match

[@lefiosalex]

I just love seeing old school manual cars racing. And what an amazing head to head race as well. Absolutely brilliant video.

[@3nd4tom1c8]

Such sportsmanship, kudos to these two and their amazing cars

[@JimmyMartinm3power]

Big up the Birmingham car scene dave and his nova 😎

[@RaifRaif85]

Probably my favourite video so far. The coolest and best matched cars, would love either of em

[@redspud1293]

Probably one of he best videos I’ve seen so far,keep them coming 👍

[@MrSonicAdvance]

This is the best race I've seen on this channel. Love it!

[@neuro82h]

I love that Golf more every time it shows up on the channel and Robert makes a good show. The Corsa, I mean, Nova :D is great as well, such a shame it had that gearbox issue, but the rolls were an absolute blast to watch. Hope it will be back!

[@jeffhubbard5660]

Look at your comments J, this is the stuff that makes us happy.....

[@enzofanfics9897]

That MK2 is a total monster.

[@colshyp2172]

2 cars that have absolutely no business being that quick! It was seeing cars like these back in the day that got me into mechanics

[@osh241]

Two legends in two legendary cars.. 90s nostalgia all over

[@BkSMedia]

One of the better videos in such a long time man. Sick of these DSG/Auto fart boxes that are constantly on here. Give us more of this Jamie!!!

[@fugginrambo]

I cant believe how awesome that Golf looks. The minimalistic styling from the exterior to the engine bay looks killer. What a close race too!

[@jakevalli6348]

Everytime that golf comes on the sound check the volume goes up full blast, incredible sounding car!

[@Kieltec]

that interval between shifts makes the race interesting

[@stevenross-watt8640]

Reckon the nova engine is shifting so far in the engine bay that the gear linkage goes out of alignment. Im sure one of my cars did it with about +80% power over standard. Great fun to watch these two. Crazy cars and drivers.

[@John_cupra290]

I feel 18 again watching these two! My series 2 1.9 converted 90 spec would have smoked them though lol , the 90s were fkn awesome. I was working in belgium for a year when i was 18 and had a 4x4 calibra turbo as a company car that i superchipped and it was wicked back them. Props to both guy’s 👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻

[@iansteward4176]

That’s why I love your channel Jamie , as a man of 50 owning xr3’s escort turbo’s and a cossie just love the old school stuff, keep mixing it up mate👍👍

[@BoostWorx]

Looks I give to the nova, noise I give to the golf, the performance spoke for it's self but both the drivers are such a set of legends. Proper car guys humble and enjoying the fact they both appreciate each other and the fun of competition. I really enjoyed this one

[@Niskovic1]

Cars are equally as fast it’s all in the gear ratios really. Surprised at how savage that little Nova is

[@mischavanasperen3063]

Love the Nova, but that Golf is absolutely something else! That noise! A remark from Richard Hammond came to mind: Cannon fire...

[@michaelporter8485]

There is a guy with a twin engine nova on KZbin be sick to see him on the battles 👏🏽

[@kenlwray]

Twinenginecarsa is the channel. Deffo get him on the drag strip

[@OutdoorsBritain]

Get him to race the guy with the green twin engine golf

[@Timrud1]

Love it, just two guys buzzing thrashing their cars, didn't matter if they won or lost. If he is running the F28 box in the nova they love munching syncros

[@KarlikWoW]

Just two blokes having wicked fun and this is what a car culture should be all about.

[@DEKOVA]

This is how cars are meant to be driven 💣🔥

[@alex7407]

That VW is straight savage. Especially with fire coming out the back end.

[@paste8686]

What an epic episode, lovely cars, tops boys, easy one of the most enjoyable I have watched. OG Battles is like my Sunday treat when I get off work lol loved it, fair play lads

[@aj8250]

This race was freaking awesome! Props to both guys and their old skool motors! The Mk2 driver cracks me up, straight up here for a good laugh and simple racing, no tension or bad vibes! This is how all drivers should be, we're all here to enjoy the good times! Keep em' coming Jamie 😎

[@jlocks90]

That first race literally gave me goosebumps! What a matchup 👏

[@scottmitchell9174]

Love that golf leaves mental these old school races are soo much better like the other comments said they sound soo much better than newer cars

[@jonboy821]

That mk2 Golf is sweet 😁. Just wish I'd kept mine . Both cars were mad brings back sweet memories. Get 2nd gear sorted it would be great to see them both run again 😜

[@owenscallum4565]

Yeah the new stuff is sick but nothing beats old school 🔥🔥

[@flibbertigibbet6200]

I want to see these two go at it again when the nova is healthy. They're so close.

[@Kj16V]

YESSS! *This* is the sort of the stuff I want to see! Not identical BMW and Audis with 700 bhp St.2 remaps and auto transmissions 💥

[@laska4122]

the way one and then the other were pulling away looked like a movie

[@MigV6]

The 40mph start on the roll races was definitely in the Golf's favour. 50mph in 3rd would possibly have seen the Nova take the win.

[@shaunwafer6907]

This has got to be one of the best battles I’ve ever watched proper old skool popping and banging full send madness 💪🏻👊🏻

[@VersionOneUK]

That first roll race was a MADNESS 🔥🔥 So evenly matched

[@_LuisS]

Before I watch the video I think the golf is gonna win because Robert can definitely pedal the hell out of that golf.

[@dxughxy_]

And Dave can peddle the shit out of that nova 💨

[@_LuisS]

@@dxughxy_ sure he can.. That was my guess because I've seen Rob drive.. I for sure want to see Dave back when his nova is fixed.

These two were one off the best races iv seen on this channel manual proper old school cars both cars were epic very close love it

[@eartimevibes5994]

This is what im talking about. Old skool manual big power sends. No golf r or 140i etc etc tbis is this stuff that i love to see. Fiwr play to both guys both sick cars 👌🏾👌🏾

[@JiggaOfficial]

This first race was hands down the best race I’ve ever seen ! Here outside of the Nissan r32 - r33- R34 race

[@fullyrc8555]

So much more entertaining watching the manuals rather then the dsg burning stuff. This was wicked! I’ve always had a soft spot for novas, the the gold sounds amazing.

[@nickweidemann3113]

Both cars are flipping awesome. Roberts passion is infectious! Always an awesome episode with him featured.

I love the Golf… that black/yellow get up, not to mention the way it boogies ❤ Both these boys can dance, legends 🫶👊💥

[@P33CEGAWD]

Such a sweet car.

[@tesco-cs]

JUST WOW, what a close race this one was intense! What i would do to have a mk1 / mk2 golf. Literally my dream cars just love everything about them.. i probably wouldn't go anywhere near the power like this r30T golf but would more likely go down the 1.8T route/conversion around the 260-300bhp mark. 1 day eyy 1 day.

[@Jonnyxs]

If that nova was sequential it would be mega fast look how it dropped speed in gear changes Fantastic pair of cars I’m a nova fan at heart 👊🏼

[@stew8490]
