My driving school has a Golf R for some reason.
Well mine had a BMW m550d. That's kinda cool
okimy mine has a Tazz and a Honda fit😂😂
So Freddie the driver can write it off on his taxes!
Mine "only" had the normal mk7 golt but another driving school in my town had, and im not kidding, a fckin 911s. On thier Website they said that it will be used for the bike lessons meaning the instructor gets to drive it and maybe for the Autobahn lessons (yes im german, yes we have to drive on the Autobahn in driving school)
okimy mine didn’t have anything cool in the early 90’s BUT the 50 year old instructor would have us run his errands, when busy he’d just sign off our sheets and worst of all back then we thought he was so cool because he flirted intensely and openly , like freaking crazy with every hot 15 year old girl that would take instruction from him. Remember him flirting with the hottest girl in our grade and in my group and then asking us to park far from the gas station 7-11 door and asking her to go get him a drink , she gets out wearing her daily tiny cut off mini skirts, belly shirt tank top and what I’d say now were stripper platform heels , THE one that all guys thought about back then lol she says sure, gets out and walks to the gas station door and he’s commenting the whole walk “man she’s so damn hot! That ass and those legs in that skirt, mmmm mmm! Yesterday in class she bent over and displayed the top of a red thong! Have any of you boys had her? U can tel me! “ She comes back out and he says shit, look at that! You’re welcome by the ways boys for the show! Then comments on how huge her ,...eyesssss were , how it was not natural for a girl that young and how they bounced perfectly as she walked to us . Then said something I’ll never forget that makes sick now ; “None of us going to be able to stand up for an hour! “ the other guys laughed and I remember thinking , uh that’s weird for her teacher 4 times her age to say. But Everyone thought he was so cool cause he never did anything in classes and all the girls flirted back and would go lean against his desk all they class flirting. Looking back now I’m so disgusted with him! As a dad of 3 daughters and a 11 year old that every time I take to the pool I have to tell married older men and college guys to stop f&cking staring at my ELEVEN YEAR OLD In a bikini. What the hells wrong with people!? Man I wish he’d been around today to get hammered for that kind of stuff! Guy was a pedaphile and never got causght or in trouble because he jsut passed all the kids , never tested or brought papers or clip boards on our road tests or range, we did 4 of 12 total driving tests and I got an A along with everyone else. He retired after 40 years teaching when Wveryone was sure he was scoring the hottest 15 year olds our age. Disgustingggg!! ! Dude above had a bad ass car as a testing car , I had a pervert flirting with little girls. The views were great but normal for 15 year old boys . Lol Wish it would have at Least been in a Gold R! Lol
There’s a random story that has nothing net o do with Golf R’s; 🤔🙄

So happy that James is looking so much better now. Insane what you can do to transform yourself in just 7 months.
Little side fact, the term VR (from VR6) comes from the combination of the V-shape and the Inline-setup (Inline in german is "Reihe")
Greetings from germany :)
Hey mind answering a question? Is it plausable to find a decent condition mk3 diesel for 500 euro in germany right now?
Not in descent condition. With no tüv probably.
You can get one in ireland anyway
I always wondered. ¡ThnX!
@@PrydeWater901 If you're going to export it from DL then get one without tüv and you might have a chance. Also depends on how you define decent condition.
I've never related to someone more than when he just screamed "YES" at a manual transmission.

6:05 you guys got me there! That was hilarious, I should not be watching this at work.
The best moment in donut history, I'm fucking crying.
Baptism by MoPowa. That was amazing lol
Such an awesome episode! Those 'Syncro' G60 Rallye Golf IIs are just straight sick!
I am born, raised and living in Deutschland since 1974, and I've seen just EVERYTHING in european car history. But never ever one of those unbelievable beauties.
The Golf II, to me, is just as iconic as the E30, but sadly lacking the rear wheel drive to make it perfect.
Thank you so much for this outstanding lesson in magic car history. I think no one every went as far as you did on the subject as you did with this.
My buddy has a MK V R32 with a spark cut and straight pipes, easily the loudest car in town at low RPM’s. As a V8 Guy I can say the VR6 is one of the best sounding engines ever built.
This guy is so real and humble, he makes over a million dollars per _up to speed_ and he still drives a Golf, never change James ❤️
Nico Contreras I think that’s a lie
Nico Contreras a million per episode damn man if thts true thts crazy money tht would be over 3mill a month. Where did u get tht figure at
I'm pretty sure that the golf is all that he can afford

Absolutely hilarious episode!!! Loved the Bob Ross skit. Learned a lot about VW, didn't know they had some really sick cars. Not sure if you've done an episode on Bombardier. I'm sure they've got some interesting history! Keep making vids. Love all the car history you've provided. Love you lol
I remember these good old days! love it when james did these funny yet informative videos!!
James that was the best 'mo powa babeh' I've ever seen from you! You really have kicked mpb up an extra notch.....
this was the funniest up to speed they've ever made imo every joke was choice
“MK stands for Mark”
THANK YOU.
Mmm-Kay says Mr Mackey.
I thought it meant MitoKondria lol
so why not just called it mark then? why shorten sucha short thing, its their fault really.
A lot of people like to fight with me and tell me it’s M K not mark

Love the effort that goes into your videos ❤️
This is the best show on TH-cam, no wait it’s the best show ever made!!!! It’s so funny and informative at the same time. I love you too James
Steyr puch is literally the best AWD makers! They made cars like the pinzgauer, haflinger, golf syncro, fiat panda 4x4 and of course, MERCEDES G WAGON
i think audi did quattro times better than vw
Is that styer the same styer that makes the aug
and my daily, vanagon syncro :)
Omega oof
Yes, yes it is. Steyr has a motor division.
Lols having driven alot of AWD cars VERY hard and fast and sideways on dirt roads. Mitsubishi hands down makes the best AWD system!!! It feels like it's from the future compared to everything else. Basically the GTR is the only one thats as good. Oh and BMW and Mercedes now have the selectable RWD systems. Which is the best lol
I was just sitting in my golf R and your notification came up . You are a wizard .
man I love your stories n the way you tell them! you really make me laugh while being educated in a very nice way! Love you bro!
This is your best video yet!! The MK4 R32 had the same motor as the AUDI TT 3.2 which pumped out 250 Hp.
I love Golfs. Not sure exactly why, but always loved them since I was a kid and drove MK4 in NFS Underground.
Husrav Homids can’t blame you never owned one but want one they seem really comfortable
@Méliodas DK How are they money pits? Genuinely curious 'cause I'm shopping for a used mk4.
Méliodas DK they aren’t money pits 🤣🤣 have a MK7 and been perfectly fine, my friend has a MK6 with 150k miles and he still drives his hard
@@killer_vette351 did your mate buy it outright or paid monthly for it?
Optic500 idk
You missed mk3 vr6 syncro , ( 2.9vr6 190hp ) it was only produced in europe.
yep yep yep...my cousin owned one and chipped it...and crashed it...
It had the best sound ever
ofc with all other cars but it was like small little hatch with sweet, not something crazy but still a rly nice sound to hear
Appreciate the compliment on the mk4, loved seeing that car meet clip, I own a 24v mk4 and it’s my second favorite car so far under my Lexus sc300 but that will always be my dream car
I discovered this channel last night and I am glad I did. A+!!!

Great episode! I've owned so many vw's over the years, dating all of the way back to high school. My first car was a 1978 VW Scirocco that I bought for $800 back in 1992. Found out the hard way that the entire bottom was rusted out. My passengers feet would get soaked if I drove through water😂 Sold that and bought my neighbors 1987 VW Scirocco for $3,000 a few months later. Afterwards I went on to own two Golf's, a g60 Corrado, and a 1998 Jetta GLX. Might need to check out the Golf R, and add that to my collection of VW purchases🤔

Wait a minute, a video about all 4 wheel drive golf, without the Golf Sportwagen 4motion!? C'mon guy's!!
Yes! He mentions the Golf Country in this episode!
But the legendary big bumper g60 doesn't get mentioned
Same! I love it
I love my mk7 R. Looks less flashy than the gti but man does it pull
Pete a lot of people don’t understand and under appreciate the Golf R, it’s all forged internals. The kits you can buy for the motor are expensive, but who wouldn’t wanna blow the doors off of a hellcat in a Golf R.. they’re also 4 wheel drive and practical. It’s better the then Subaru Sri and the RS. The motors will blow if you go modifying them..
Pete AWD ftw!
intake header is plastic or metal?
Pete I prefer pre facelift MK7 GTi performance package. More tossable being lighter. It’s a perfect daily hence I got one. Mines tuned, thicker rear sway bar, PS4 tires and spacers for now. Going with a Is38 turbo soon.
Brandon Smit fwd based it’s not awd. It’s a Haldex. Most of the time it’s fwd. rear wheels only come on when there’s slip.
I started with a '99 Audi A4 1.8T as my first car. Instantly fell in love with the manual transmission, well designed plush leather interior, and oh my the boost!! It kicked off a lifelong love for German sports cars. Fast forward 5 years however and I bought the OG Bugeye '02 WRX. That car was very fun and fast, yet the interior and overall feeling of highly-engineered German craftsmanship was missing. Fast forward another 5 years, the WRX has been stolen and totaled by thieves. In my search for my new car, I always remembered the MK4 Golf R and how aggressive/beautiful they look. I knew I needed a manual and chose VW partly bc my Audi and that they continue to produce new cars w/ standard trans. And so I sent it - got into a 2016 MK7 Golf R with 60k on it. This is hands down the best car I've ever owned. Not only does it have high specs like backup camera, Bluetooth, heated seats and Sirius XM, it is unbelievably quick with its 300 HP 2.0 TSI engine and handles like one would not believe. The Haldex 4motion system is amazing in the snow, arguably better than a WRX even. The acceleration hits intensely while the clutch & gear box feel phenomenal. I absolutely love how aggressive these cars look, the styling of the front grill and curves of the back alongside the beefy quad-tipped exhaust. You could take the wife and kids to go grab groceries or make laps on track day. I could not be happier with my purchase and do not think that I will ever stray away from owning an R as my daily sports commuter. I would recommend this car to anyone and sadly as VW plans to head in the direction of electric vehicles for the GOLF line, get your hands on one before they become extremely rare and expensive!
I had two '89 Vanagon Syncros. Wicked fun!!!!!!!!
you dunce forgot the MkIII 2.9 VR6 Syncro which basically was the first golf R
Just had to stop in the middle of the episode to let you know the amount of effort that goes into these episodes is much appreciated. I love you James.

Everyone knows that MK4 R32 is the king of all VW. It’s not even a debate.
Between aesthetics, performance, and sound, it is impossible to disagree.
@@davidd4677 for me the 16V mk2 is the absolute winner. i loved that car, until i blew it up because i was a boy racer. and now i regret it ofcourse.
@@mittdersonne My buddy had one that he and his brother built. They spared no expense down to getting engine internals balanced and blue printed. It was quite impressive. I'm the type of VW enthusiast though that can walk through a car show and find 27 favorites and 34 must haves😆 The mk4 R32 is top on my bucket list though with a mk1 rabbit engine swapped with a VR coming in at a very close second. I had to part out my 86' Cabriolet project that was getting the mk4 VR6 transplant that I bought and I have regretted that decision ever since.
Brady Dearinger im pretty sure it’s widely thought of as a disappointment performance wise
dalylers 1996 I think that’s the MKIV GTi, it was really slow. The R32 is quite fast actually.
I got driven home from the hospital when I was born in a mk 2 golf *VW FOR LIFE BABY!*

@@xthexadvantagex1219 I love the W204 C63, but the Passat W8 is so unreliable
This vidja makes me miss one of my favorite daliy drivers I built: my '91 GLI with an AAA 12v VR swap with a 35R strapped to it. C2 quickflow, Schrick cams, ported/ gas flowed head, TT springs, retainers, H.D. rods, JE Pistons, Megasquirt, full 3" turbo back mandrel exhaust, EIP solid engine mounts, type-A's, Corrado brakes, H&R coilovers, Neuspeed sways, Quaife LSD, Autometer sport comp gauges, Eurosport F/R strut bars, Recaro's, Schroth 4 points, 6 point cage, Rallye grille/ headlights etc etc etc. Honestly probably the most fun you could have in a FWD car. Was an AWESOME car for the times especially and I've owned a bunch of VW's. A handful of mk2, Rocco's, mk1 cabby and a B3, all built to varying degrees, some more than others. I took pride in not being scared of CIS like most people were/ are as well LOL.
