      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.
