it was a mk4 cabrio - surprised me too aswell as my mate who owned a cab at the time and he even commented how it holds the road better than his mates 4wd cossie.
honestly i could really push that car in the bends, had good quality rubber on too so i guess that helped. Only ever had the back end step out on me once when i had lost my phone and was hurrying back to where i had last left it.
