  • If you ever decide to attend the Destination Nürburgring track day, then you can be certain of a number of things: great track time thanks to Darren and his crew, spectacular pictures by Frozenspeed and finally: that no matter which car you bring, you will be overtaken by Nige in his home-built mk2 Golf.
    Join me on today's lap and an extra-long in-depth video covering everything you need to know about the fastest mk 2 Golf on the Nürburgring: The Pinderwagen.

      I must have watched a different video.. I see a maxed out golf 2, racing to the max and a few Porsches he overtakes and a few that keep being in front and behind him, probably not driven to the max and way more comfortable. That's not eating Porsches, that's winning a race without telling the others it was one.

    A huge thank you to Misha for this video. 👍🏼
    Before he started recording he asked me to talk a little about the Golf. As usual I talked, a lot 😳. I expected him to cut 90% of it out as it was just me waffling. He left most of it in!
    The lap itself was very enjoyable and the Porsche driver had a good chat with me that evening. When I asked why he moved across before the Karussel, he replied "I was surprised to see you keeping up with me and rather than watch in the mirror I wanted to follow so I could see your car moving around" 😃
    The Golf has been developed over the last 13 years from a bare shell with me learning along the way and modifying as budget allowed.
    Just to add to those who are saying the 911 was faster. I know, the Porsche could go quicker. We all know that ! It also costs way more than 10x the price the Golf has cost me and wasn't built by one guy in his garage so lets keep some perspective here 😉
    As for Boba`s incredible MK2 Drag car, that`s built with one aim in mind and that`s to go as fast as possible in a straight line for a short period of time. Mine is built to go round a circuit for lap after lap and those goals are completely different. Put them on the drag strip and Boba would absolutely annihilate me. Put us on the Nurburgring and I'd be quicker. It's not rocket science ;)
    Oh and finally. The whine is the power steering pump that was failing and was replaced after this trackday and I usually leave the engine idling to cool after a lap but was distracted by Misha and turned it off too soon.
    Loads more details of the build and trip reports on my website www.pinderwagen.com

    My first car was a mk2, 1.6 cl, had so much fun with that car. Bought a rusted GTi and moved over all the GTi parts, got it approved, went through 4 engines, 3 gearboxes, 3 interiors. Got a set of knackered 10x16 compomotive 3 piece wheels from a Porsche 928, restored them and made them fit the golf.
    8 years later, using the inspiration and knowledge i got from that car, started a wheel repair and restoration company in Oslo, still going strong today.

    Imagine, you've just dropped six figures on your hot new GT3RS track toy and decide to take a tour of a the Ring to celebrate your purchase.
    You get out on track with this funny old VW hatch right on your heels as you accelerate down the back end of the straightaway and into the first section.
    "Heh, that's cool, guy must've thrown a turbo on it. Mighty quick, but I'll show him REAL German engineering come the first corner."
    And so with all the confidence that a big wing and the reputation of the crest can provide, you dive into the first few corners, not a sound coming from your tires as you casually throw it in somewhere in the middle of the rev range with a grin and an easy flick of the wrist. Suddenly, you hear the howl of four cylinders using every last centimeter of the RPM gauge, the squealing of tires and the screeching protest of brakes accompanied by the whining of bodywork being rubbed raw by the asphalt. You look back and in your mirror is that same funny little hatch, glued to your ass and looking for your left.
    With a contemptuous snarl, you mash the throttle and hit the course with everything you have; and while you might gain separation in the straights, for some reason this 30 year old little VW is pressing one of the most fabled factory track machines. And eventually, you have to cave, the blinker comes on and that funny little hatch screams by; try as you might, the only time you're able to get around the little VW again is in a drag race on the back straight, something completely out of the element of the dethroned German king of the track

    I also have a mk4 golf been building it for 2 years now and hope to take it on Nurburgring someday not as good as yours yet but hoping to get there one day 😍love your build and passion and how you dedicated yourself into learning aerodynamics to improve your car,
