if i were able today, i would buy a stock itr and a shop manual and learn as much as i could to "restore" it and keep it just for weekends.
there is so much tech stuff in the gti i'm left scratching my head no matter how much i try to read up about it (or i'm just dense/old).
but i can't deny turbos have their own special kind of rush too...
