Why am I nervous to watch this? Lol
R34 GTR......
The Falcon
@@chadgray691 the gtr is awd not rwd
Why would i get mad? It's your car. Your money, your life, your garage, your payments et cetera. We're here to watch your adventures. This is like getting mad at the Sun for having a weak effect in winter.
Because internet.
I was thinking of the same thing. His life his money
i love this.
I think the point of the video was that he made it to explain to those who bought a Golf - and modified it the way he did - that he didn't sell it because it wasn't as good as he gassed it up to be. He sold it because it was simply "that time," not because it was bad and those who had just bought the same thing made a poor financial decision.
Also, let's be real. This was 90% intentional to tease his new car.
400 people already dislike this video,. They’re out there trust me.
I Was worried for a moment, I thought the fairlady was gone.
me too. that's his halo car IMO
he said car, not pile of shot
@@Nioooke Sacrilege!
Same
Same, I was afraid it was going to be the Mini
Man, I miss my Forester...
I really enjoyed this video because it felt like we really got good introspective into your decisions, also I think the fact that you decided to explain this because you were worried people would be worried about their purchase decision since you sold yours was a great reminder that you really care about your audience!
I'm convinced he's bought a Lotus. Uncomfortable, impractical, no back seats or boot/trunk so totally opposite to everything on that list he wrote about the Golf. Plus he kept pointing them out on recent videos at the track.
I like this take, this would be awesome.
An elise is a sick car to tune my old mukka has 1 with a super charged k20 hes not gone mad with it 362hp that with the weight of the lotus is good combo as a road/track car
That's the first guess that I've heard that has made complete sense
I second this.
But a 2nd hand lotus aint more expensive than a golf r tho? or atleast not in europe
The Golf was automatic, the golf was reliable, the golf was fast from the start, the golf chopped everything, there was nothing left for the golf to do in the MCM garage. Good bye golf.
Golf. Bien rápida y aburrida.
@@jetpilotpr1 >Subaru
JAJAJAJAJAJA
yeah like the Clownshoe BMW from Hoovie. Just way too reliable for content :p
The golf was a bit boring but still cool
Moog: "If you get the opposite of the list"
ME: "You get the 240z?"
My first thought as well, didn't expect him to mention that he's got another car from that description even though at this point it's staple to announce new cars in MCM like this
My thoughts exactly!
Yup I'm with ya on that.
Not just me then
so maybe the new car is the 400Z?
He had to have gotten a Lotus.
There's just something about the way he said it
He's not an accountant tho
He said a "extremely rare vehicle", Lotus cars aren't that rare... I'm pretty sure is going to be a KTM X-Bow, or a BAC Mono
My immediate guess as well! Lotus
That was my first guess and I kinda am hoping not... But maybe it would be a unique series for them.
Could be a Porsche
Me: The fairlady or the mini?
Moog: The Golf
Me: Carry on then
This is what I came to the comments to say.
So true
Shiiiid, get rid of the Mini and FairLady and buy another VW.
@@lenwoodcruze3594 why...
I honestly forget he has(had) a Golf moments after he stops talking about it or showing it on scree...what were we talking about?
At least it wasn’t the Mini😅
he'll never get rid of the mini
I remember when he was building that thing 5 years ago. I can’t believe it’s been that long already. Keeping a car for 5 years is an eternity by UA-camr standards.
Oh god! Same
My butthole clenched when I saw this thinking it was the mini or the rb26 Z
thank christ you didnt sell the mini moog.!
2:30 "Now I'm not saying that your car needs to be breaking down all the time"
**Cries in RX-8**
i mean, you can prevent that by rebuilding the engine, adding another oil injector in to each rotor, different apex and side seals, and using premix, but yea, you gotta put some work in to it if you want fast and reliable spinny doritos
@@MrTurbo_ I have owned my RX-8 for 5 years now, did all the bells and whistles to it. Every single bolt-on, engine rebuild with RX-7 apex seals, Series 2 trans swap, etc etc. It's not the engine or ability to turn on that is the reliability issues I'm facing. Just my turd chassis that is old, rusty, and has wiring issues and a bunch of other stuff that comes with age and living in a place where salt is its middle name lol (yes I daily mine)
Cries in falcons or commodores.....
Cries rotary sounds*
@@Snoopi25 mate you can get an rx8 chassis for pennies on the dollar these days... if youre willing to cross the boarder to canada (if your american) you could get one for like 2.5k
Videos like this one are why you guys are one of the best channels on UA-cam. Honest, upfront and direct. A couple of regular guys who enjoy working on cars of all kinds - can’t wait to see what is next. Almost thought you were going to say fair lady towards the end. 😎
"The car is so reliable and good" - Definitely doesn't belong in the MCM family anymore :P
Doenst sound like a VAG car to me.
Okay reliable can be certainly argued, as its not been my experience that they are reliable.
So it's just boring )
Whoever says a VW is reliable and good or even fun, should seek immediate mental help.
@@energyflow7564 how is 375hp and 0 to 100 of 2.8 seconds not fun?
So wait, you sold a car that you enjoyed but now want to get something else? Hum, I thought that's what you guys have been doing for over ten years now.
Don't stop doing it. Don't stop making videos about it. And don't stop enjoying every moment about it. I still have my TRD LAZER hoodie. I am a forty year old man that gets a knick out of everything you guys have done. And thankyou man, you guys are keeping the auto hobby alive.
@Rachel H Besides the mini...The Golf was Moog.
this whole video is a stichup because everyone thought it was the mini or the fairlady its not actually about the golf its about playing on our emotions !
Nothing like a good TRZ, but some times you want something else.
32 here, been watching since the trd lazer days. Had my share of wild and fast cars, but I now have a kid, so life happens. But back to some mild project when she gets older. I still every now and then watch the old school mcm episodes,and get a kick out of them.
Ha.
"Some one said the golf is dull"
"Let me tell you its not dull, but after a while it gets a bit boring"
(or dull) 😂😂
Practical
Reliable
Comfortable
Yawn
You inspired me to start working on my GTI with the Golf R series! Keep up the good work and I always look forward to the next MCM vid!
Moog, I think everyone had already forgot you even owned a Golf.
Can't wait to see the new Nugget!
@@urabusliberty9258 he says it in the first minute of the video lol
Why are you reading the comments if you don't want spoilers?
@@urabusliberty9258 lol why read the comments before watching the video? Ya own fault
@@urabusliberty9258 honest car reviews. Doesnt watch a car video for moogs " honest " thoughts on the golf, just goes to the comments for spoilers. When its only a 5 min video anyway 😂 👍
and it even says it in the title " why i sold my car - dont get mad )
Proceeds to the comments where we have seen the video, and gets shitty because this is where we can discuss the video. Top notch work mate, im so proud
Moog: Why I sold my car?
Me: Because it's your car
Come on. This video was just a 5 minute segway for the cliff hanger. Nobody ever cared why the golf got sold. Moog especially is an expert in poking fun at their fan base.
Not anymore
@@AnttiBrax But that fun is justified. Some people got seriously miffed that they sold Miss Daisy....
"They're built by robots, so I guess there's some percision there"
Whew! For a second there I thought Moog had sold the Fairlady Z.
The MCM Golf R series introduced me to an attainable dream car. This summer I attained that dream. Thanks for that
imagine having a golf as your dream car haha
@@tristanmeadows some people dream small so they can achieve their dream
Some people dream of things that most people take for granted
Like walking
If you haven't walked in years you may want to simply do something that so many people have done before
@@tristanmeadows imagine setting attainable goals and achieving them. Then setting slightly higher goals and achieving them and it starts a snowball effect of success in your life. That must really suck to feel successful. SMH
@@tristanmeadows Imagine trying to bring someone down based on their hopes and dreams, seem kind of rude right?
@@tristanmeadows imagine being as unhappy as you clearly are in life..must suck dude, hope your life turns around soon❤
It’s official, Moogs finally bought an AU Ford Falcon 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Its abought time😆
He must be on his period then
With bench seat/column shit and wagon, rarest of rare
Naw i bet its a pontac gtp ahahah
I mean it would fit the "has no boot description", as most of them have turned into cheddar cheese in the back. :P
Stuff like this is why people still love classics, over the modern.
MCM one of the only channels I still watch from discovering UA-cam years and years ago, and clearly still for good reason.
Did moog go back to his Honda roots and get a nsx?
Would fit the description pretry well
The nsx isn't "loud" in my books, the first thing that comes to mind would be something with a v8
NSX is 100k in aus so >doubt
fuck it actually is.
That definitely fits the description. I hope so!
Happy to see Aussie creators supporting other Aussie creators. I notice the racks racks shirt and I’m sure the boys will to👍 good luck with the new car Moogs! Keen to see it
Go for it, Love to watch what ever you do!! :D
Yeh, but this is mighty car mods. Not mighty car garage.
Onto moar cars
Exactly, theres litterally nothing else that could of made that golf better, new cars means content
@@LogieT2K *could HAVE
If we wanna watch someone that keeps cars. We can watch Jay lenos garage
@@bigvideoenergy My thoughts here. A quite different approach to the car thing, having a whole staff restoring rarities where a caliper might cost the price of Moog's Golf or a cylinder head might cost as much all of Marty's cars together ....
Oh man my heart dropped when i saw the title, i thought he might have sold the Z! Sad to se the Golf go but definitely feel a little relieved.
I'm sad to see it go. I was really considering getting one after the vids that you guys did on your Golf R, but at least here in the US they are expensive even second hand.
Excited to see what you got though!
Crazy to see the throw back clip of the driveway build and see the boys looking young and chipper and realizing I've been watching this channel for a long time lmao
It's amazing how we all get attached to hunks of metal, rubber, and glass to the point of needing to explain why they have been let go. Can't wait to see the new toy.
I almost had a heart attack thinking it was the fairlady.... man don't scare me like that
I felt exactly the same!
Haha, me too!
Or the Mini... I really won't miss the Golf...
Bruh me too
Love the vids guys! Did you buy NSX?
True passion speaks millions through the words of this video, the roots of love will never change! You ever watch someone drive by in the most clapped out 370 or whatever, they’re smiling because they love it. Through all the speed bumps and uneven roads, the break fix and repeat keeps us alive.
MCM: Why I sold my car
Also MCM: I bought 3 more...
It's MCM-channel, living off content. Three more is content. Keeping a car is not.
I was assuming he’d be selling the mini or 240z, so I’m all good with this 😎
I don’t think he’ll ever sell them.
don't worry, those are his dream cars, will never sell them.
And even if he does, it's his choice. 🤷♂️
Way mad if it was the JDM Mini Vtec powered.
Sell whichever you want, do whatever makes you happy. For us, it just means there's more room for the next project. Keep it up and I'll keep watching!
Low key expecting a DeLorean.
One can hope
MCM / DMC
Sameeeee
He'd need like 550hp to chop gramps with a delorean
Maybe one of the new electric ones 🤔
Must say, you are the masters at showing real, heartfelt emotions and then giving great cliffhangers to keep people interested. Whatever it is, I know this will be another great entry into the MCM garage.
I’m not even mad about this sale. I was worried that it was gonna be the FairladyZ that was sold. Doesn’t scare me like that.
I agree, that would;ve been more heart wrenching. The golf is ok, but lacks shenanigans and maintenance. It doesnt break down like their other cars, as they should haha
The hype is beyond the roof omg.
The list thing you did was so clever! Mind = blown.
Variety is the spice of life. Sad to see it go but excited to see whats next.
When are we going to see the s13 that you bought back when Marty got his sti
Ultima gtr is my bet.
I'll bet he bought back "Tay Tay" the original 180sx
Are the overseas 180sx fitted with SR20DETs? Shouldn’t they have called them 200sx?
@@negativeindustrial Outside of Japan, and excluding USA, they're called a 200sx and come with the CA18DET. It's the opposite of what they should be called.
@@corky9127
That is weird. Thank you.
For a second I thought it was about the mini! Nah, no emotional connection to the Golf. It was a nice series with the build and all, but it was a bold on and tune thing, nothing 'special' about that car, there's tons of them around here.
Love the upgrade. Simplify and add lightness.
I loved the golf series but can't wait to see what the new car is!
Moog : "this is about as far from a golf you can get"
Me : "ENHANCE"
*golf
New car has to be like a Lotus or an Arial Atom, something along those lines.
It cant be an arial. Too reliable...lol
You can't register a Ariel atom in Aus unfortunately
Mad. This is going to be great, some great videos to come, saved the video for the morning. Had a quick sneak peak though :)
You were right!
INSIDER TRADING
Thanks for being compassionate
Moog. It’s your cars mate. Love what you guys do. Cheers!
Moog Sitting Down Alone and Serious
Me: Here we go again.....
The serious face lasted a whole 18 seconds before he smiled :D haha
I think a lot more channels need a moment like this to reach out to their viewers because it really does show that you care
I think of all the channels that could use a video like this, MCM wasn't it haha. I've never questioned it, not unlike so many other big youtube's
Love everything you and MCM do. No apologies required.
i felt your heart moog talking about it looking forward to see your new car wonder if Marty is gonna chop it in supergramps
If it's a TVR, I'm going to laugh and laugh and laugh.
Then proceed to watch each episode with eager anticipation!
We never got very many of them in Oz. All private imports I think (don't @ me)
I sat in a Speed 12 as a kid at the Brisbane Motor Show (RIP). I was obsessed for a long time after.
He’s never talked about them?
It would be a bit of british absurdity that we are all unfortunately missing in our lives right now.
Hah I literally mentioned TVR in another comment. Seems like I'm not the only one who thought TVR when Moog gave that description eh?
The sense of relief when he said it was the golf that had been sold
would have cried if he got rid of the NX... i own a JDM primera sedan sr20ve
Lol get after it man the joy of having something that's screams you when you take it out is amazing. I have a project I'm trying finish (V8 cobra replica) it just screams me when I see it.. Looking forward to seeing the next car on the channel. JX
Damn it, I only just got a Yaris and you've already bought and sold a tarted up Golf!
Well...he had a moon buggy sooo how strange and rare can this next car actually be?🤷♂️
Sigh of relief.. you scared me dude, I thought you sold the Datsun, never get rid of that beast.
Love what you have and get rid of it before you get bored of it.
Could you guys do another tour of all the vehicles in the mcm garage as of now. I really enjoyed that
I recall a mention of a Caterham in a post in the last couple of months and it fits most of the criteria. Maybe something way out of left field - an Ariel Atom. Or an early series RX7 would not disappoint.
Not rare though. Kinda thinking delorean.
just bought myself a first gen rx7 and i can say it is a blast! not going to sell it haha. but i say that about my two first gen celica's as well. hope the misses doesn't find out i bought something yet again. at least i sold the motorcycle. that's something right? a caterham would be fun as hell! it would fit with that they are doing more trackdays lately. lets see what happens in a few days
Maybe an old TVR?
A Caterham with a trirotor!
After seeing your original Golf R Revo videos, I went out and bought a Mk7.5 Golf R about a year ago. Thanks for the inspiration, absolutely loving it. 👌🏼
I saw the new golf ad and for sure figured you upgraded to that
Imagine if his new ride was cheryl
He said his new ride was expensive, not cheap.
@@simonlloyd7557 😅😅
Cheryl's sister.
Cheryl has way too many miles, not a very smart investment....
I don't understand this cheryl joke. I thought she was his wife's name but but jokes are getting awkward.
I was so worried when I first saw the description but this was not the car I was scared you had sold thankfully. Love the heartfelt emotion 😞😀
Finally! An a9x TORANA! I'm so looking forward to it!
Actually any Torry!
He'd need to sell 3x Golf R's for one of those. (if it was a question of funds)
pleaseeee no i have to deal with boomers at work with these nuggets i dont have any interest in watching mcm do anything with it. Plus everyone around here knows turbo sounds beat lumpy v8 sounds :P
I had a GTI because of Moog and Jason Camisa. After the second time the engine blew up, I traded it in for an ILX. The weird thing is, I didn't even drive it hard, mostly just commuting, I'd send it on a freeway on ramp maybe once a month. Loved that car when it was working right, but if a car is going to repeatedly need major work, it needs to have more soul. Congratulations on the Lotus.
I'm one of the guys that went and bought one because of you and I love it. I went for the estate as I'm a labrador owner and I can fit more parts in it for other project cars. It's just a great daily driver that you can have a mad thrash in from time to time and piss off other sports car owners, or load up and just cruise around in. Gutted you've sold yours but interested to see what the new car is!! Cheers Moog, ya legend!!!
So Moog bought WASAABI back and did a rear wheel drive conversion? Cool.
Boot space a plenty in in ol'900 though!
@@mattnewfoxred Not as much boot space as a Volkswagen Hole-in-One. ;)
please be a RX7. Also I'm relieved you didnt sell the 240z. That's my dream car...
Holy shit I can't tell you how relieved I was to learn it wasn't the 240z lmao
This channel was one of the reasons I got a Mk 7 R a couple months ago.
Excited to see what’s next...
God. For a second there I thought you had sold one of the interesting cars
Haha true
I read this comment before the video and knew which car haha
this
Yes, Haha!
Yeah i dont mind this at all. The car was good but not special like the mini or 240
I hope we get to see more Euro-nuggets on MCM soon, as a Swede I would love that.
Team dentist jet
To be honest, it would be nice to see them work on some actual aussie built cars for once!
850 t5 r
Imagine them going crazy with a turbo ng 900, 9-3 or even 9000. Those cars are CHEAP right now. Idk if they have them in australia though. Also, hello fellow swede!
Lapp.tech i know you want biltemakorv and volvo 740... ;)
Unlike other channels, you guys actually finish projects. Who in the hell cares if you sell them off when finished to make way for another nugget? Keep up the amazing work guys!
I also really hope it’s MCM’s first rotary!
So glad it wasn't the fairlady
Right on Moog. You are a cool dude. Love the videos. Hoping to see an RX-7 soon! :)
I thought the mini had gone! When you mentioned the golf, I breathed a sigh of relief!
We are able and allowed to experience new experiences. Love all the vids 👍
It’s the FC RX7 that was in Michelin’s photo
WHAAAAAAAÁAAAAAAAAÁAt?!

RX7 incoming :DD
they have back seats though dont they?
@@nebulae1992 also they arent THAT rare are they? Maybe they are in Australia.
It would absolutely tick the box for Unreliable though ;)
@@nebulae1992 not really
People are saying they saw an FB RX7 in a facebook post so it probably is, but it just doesn't really tick off too many spots on the checklist. It's not particularly rare and is definitely not particularly fast (unless it's engine swapped), it has rear seats, it has a boot/hatch, it will be comfortable (stock) and Moog said the viewers may think its strange, I dunno about you, but I'm pretty sure everyone understands rotaries are cool and will be on board for it.
My guess is some sort or kit car or motorbike powered roadster (Caterham), if the checklist is anything to go by.
he said it doesn't have a boot.....
Maybe a Porsche?
Damn, sad to see it go, glad it's in a good home. I'm one of those that bought a golf r because 9f your videos, thanks man, I love the car, except for some weird electrical issues it has been giving me lately, that happened right after it hit 60k miles(warranty), so yay.
Golfs are killer cars, and that was a very nice build.
Looking forward to the "new" car though. Everyone knows it's gonan be the Moon Buggy with dual turbos.
At least, everyone is HOPING for that. We'll see whatcha come up with. (though, MB w 2x turbo would be impossible to beat).
For a moment I was afraid he had sold the fairlady Z, don't even want to think about it.
Don't know why, but I would have been pretty mad if he did that lol.
I think the 240Z is in thr list with the Mira, Gramps, and the Mini as a "forever car"
I thought it was going to be his 180sx he had sold as it was knackered
Finaly getting a LADA i see. Good on you ! Outback here you come...
this needs to be the case some day. just put something daft in it too
Go with the flow Moog. You do you. On to the next one :)
And this Marty my friend is why I follow MCM perfection.
Theres an old lady in my town that drives a white Golf R just like Moogs.
I like it when old lady's have good taste. The managed money well got they credit good and buy the best most optioned out car on the lot. There's a lady that drives a Audi A7 I believe and I seen her walking to it and I'm sure I'm positive she thought I was about to ask if she had a dollar to spare it was downtown and there's alot of that down there I was in a hoodie......but I seen the pleasantly surprised smile when I told her that I like her Audi A.......8?
No it's an A7 actually but yeah its been a good car..
I said something like yeah Audi makes some gorgeous cars but I get the models mixed up.... have a good rest of your day. And that was that. I just really appreciated that car and I'm sure it made her day to know that some younger guy knew she wasn't just driving a whatever boring car.
@@boxedfender4810 how high are you right now?
@@MyFunkymonkey7 dialed.
Exactly. Great cars for Nan to do shopping in.
The way he emphazied *TALLLLK* in the beginning affected my soul.
Lol. Epic build to a teaser... got to keep us hooked.
Well, thanks for making up my mind. was torn between finishing my corrado project or throwing more money into my GTI, ill be ordering pistons next and sending the block to the machine shop!
"I sold my Golf R because it was too good" :D
"It's not you, it's me.."
"I sold my Golf R because it was boring me to tears even at 280km/h"
"I sold my Golf R because there was 15,000km to next service and I felt like playing with my toy.. but there was nothing to do except wash-and-wax"
"I sold my Golf R because ultra precise and efficient German engineering banishes the soul of a car"
"I sold my Golf R because I felt disconnected from it...."
Conclusion: A Golf R only makes sense to people who don't want two cars. It is overkill as a purely practical commuter/grocery-getter yet it doesn't deliver the sexy temperament that makes a car actually fun to drive... So yes, it is "too good".
@@andersjjensen pretty much, I bought one and I absolutely love the flexibility of the car to do everything well. Goes to and from work well, eats highway miles like a champ when I'm going skiing or visiting other places, good place to sit, and plenty of things like awd and heated seats. If I want to get stupid I take my motorcycle out, and when I need to do work I'll grab my truck.
One car that does everything well, but if I had room I'd sell it, get a cheaper commuter and a few fun projects.
@@OriginalRanger84 Yeah.. a heated garage with room for 5-6 cars ought to be a human right! :P
"Backtracking" on your choice doesen't necessarely means that you regret that choice. I'm sure whoever got their hands on a 400 WHP Golf R is going to be crazy for it, either you sold yours or not. Some other youtubers would've jumped immediatly into the hype for the new car, but you kept it real which is a refreshing to see. Can't wait for the new series on your new car!
One car that does everything. Forester XT. Check. Love your vids guys! I've learned so much about maintaining and modifying cars over the years watching your videos. Thank you so much! And your tunes are the best Moog!
To be honest this channel was a big reason for my purchase of my GTI
