Apologies about the sound quality due to wind - I don't normally interview people so wasn't prepared for this. We moved the car to a sheltered spot but this wasn't perfect however it was a lot better. Can't really apologise above the sound quality issues from face coverings though, it's do this or no video.
In this video I get to cross a very special car off my bucket list, the Mk2 Golf Rallye. The Rallye was a homologation exercise for VW in the late 80s and was produced so they could go rallying in 'Group A', a significantly tamer category than the fire breathing cars of 'Group B' like Audi's quattro and Lancia's Integrale.
The question is, will I be blown away by it or was it just a massively hyped marketing exercise that was styling or substance, keep watching to find out.
The location for filming was Gilks' Garage Cafe, Kineton Warwickshire. It's a few miles north of Banbury and is en route via some amazing roads to Caffeine and Machine.

I made a slip of tongue by saying the wheels are Corrado G60, they are Golf G60 and Corrado 16y. I also said ABS wasn't standard on UK cars, by that I meant that it's not available on the other Mk2s that come to the UK as right hand drive - James' car IS an official UK car but it's left hand drive which confuses things somewhat!

Background info on me : I wrote for VW Driver and Audi Driver magazines from 2003-2019. I've been selling VW Group cars since 2002 as my only job. I passed my driving test in 1994 and my first car was a Polo, second was a Golf, 3rd was a Golf GTI. I have been a VWG owner ever since but work allows me to drive a lot of cars from other manufacturers to which I have an open mind but none have swayed me, yet.....
