    Nothing bad meant by this. But you take your turns too soon and then try to correct it by going wider. So you end up under steering. Rather enter bends slightly wider

      Its all good. I agree with you. I wouldn’t say that I’m trying to correct it going wider, it’s really the only option at that point. 🙈 I haven’t driven the road on my own before, I’m using following so that helps with lines but I’ll get it with time. Thanks alot 👍🏽

    What a nice driving video bud. Just love all the voora sounds 😍 and most of these mk3’s are looking mint, very rare to see honestly.
    I think most VW enthusiasts want to own a voora at some stage but with the way fuel prices are going currently it won’t be a feasible purchase 🤣
    Glad to see you are putting some proper mileage on the car and getting the run in done asap, cannot wait to see the final result. Oh and the mk2 is looking hawt bud, make me miss mine every time I watch one of the mk2 videos.

    • @lowdl
      @lowdl  2 роки тому +2

      Owning a VR hasn’t been something on my radar for the longest time. I didn’t really like Mk3’s and they’re really slow so it didn’t do much for me. But as I get older, I’m growing fond of them. I need to drive one, I think that will either seal the deal or be a deal breaker. So I’ll try and do that soon and post about my thoughts on the driving experience without being cheesy. 😂
      I’m excited to see the numbers but the car feels great. Even if it doesn’t make big numbers, I’ll be content knowing that it’s healthy and that it will be consistent.

      I would say that FB market place is a good place to check. Then you can see the persons Facebook profile. Gives you a little more peace of mind. But it’s always a risk buying a car these days. So many lemons for sale and if they’re good, really expensive.

      They're pretty reliable as long as you maintain it. Maintenance depends on the car you buy, how well it was looked after and the mileage. It's not going to be cheap to maintain but it shouldn't require much other than regular services for the most part.

      I’m not sure. Possibly in future but I’m not sure if it’s going to help. I’ve heard that it makes the car really stiff and makes it loose that playfulness that the Mk1 and 2 GTI has. I need to learn to drive the car better in stock form and then start making handling mods. But it’s something I’ve considered plenty.
