I regret selling my 306
Great fun, cost peanuts to run, amazingly reliable...
...and I gave it away for £2.44 less than it cost for a new steering rack on the Octavia
Whilst the Octy is massively quicker and can carry much more speed on the twisties the 306 was, IMHO, more fun to drive.

Both my mk2 Golfs, 1st was a nail but always fun when it ran 
2nd was a gorgeous black GTIalike, 1.6 auto (sooooooooo slow!) but with decent rubber and suspension setup meant slowing down, once at speed, for corners just didn't come into it. Plus near enough 2000watts of music p0wah!
Still contemplating getting another but the old rover P6 I was taxi'd in as a kid is starting to call to me

my golf 20v big turbo
That's awesome, what sort of power was she running? Why did you get rid?
Loving that e38 cdcopyman
thanks
and your right , the V8's + make them ideal , i rarley floored it , as it did drink the juice when you did, but it still sounded nice for a v6.i found i settled for cruising along to be honest
, it handled quite well for a large rear wheel drive car 
and reflections yo

Why did you do an engine swap?

I can't even find a picture of the real one.
We boguht it before I could drive, and my driving lessons sort of tailed off. My dad bought an Integrale Evo 1 which, being a Lancia, needed to live in the garage lest it vanish overnight from rot, so the Dolly had to go. The buyer had it roadworthy and MOTd and driving within a week
I've looked at getting another now I can drive, but the cost of them has ballooned. We sold it for I think £350. A similar example now is about £2500+, it seems. When I'm back on my feet I'll have one, but it's a ways off.I just wish I'd pulled my finger out and got my test done. I didn't realise what a cool car I had waiting for me, and through laziness/a defeatist attitude, I let it slip away.
The car I've got now is fine. I like it well enough, but gah... that Dolly Sprint was awesome.

The BattleWagon™.
'83 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser, with an emissions-regs strangled 307ci (5 litres in English money) V8. Bog all power, lots of weight, the best automatic gearbox in the world, and quite a bit of rust. I sold it because I didn't have the money to sort it, or the talent to avoid having to spend the money. Four months later, I grabbed a lucky break to get a job that would've allowed me to keep it. Eh, such is life....
