Pot-bellied Yorkshireman and Top Gear’s figurehead of fun; Mr Clarkson has been driving Volkswagen’s lardy Scirocco for The Sunday Times. He reminisces about owning a Mk1 GLI model during the early eighties and compares the original with Volkswagen’s current offering.

This new one was done in house, and from some angles it’s what Michael Winner would call historic. But from others it’s a bit wet. And you should definitely be aware that in white it looks like a Stormtrooper’s helmet.”
Check out the full review here.
