My £50 Golf’s faster than a £1m Bugatti Veyron
Andy Waite's 180mph Golf
PROUD Andy Waite shows off his 1979 VW Golf – which can blow away a Bugatti Veyron supercar. Father of three Andy, 42, bought the Mk 1 Golf for fifty quid.
That’s nearly £1million less than the price of the Bugatti, the world’s most expensive motor.
But after Andy spent £60,000 on modifications, including a custom-built turbocharged engine, the VW can scorch from 0-60mph in just 2.36 seconds.

Source: The SunAnd that’s faster than the Veyron, which takes a tenth of a second longer. The Golf, which has a top speed of 180mph, can also beat the Bugatti in a quarter-mile dash. Andy, of Fordham, Cambs, said creating his “monster” motor had been a labour of love. He drives it in drag races but it is fully road legal and runs on unleaded fuel.
Andy added: “The biggest problem is that once you get over 160 you can only drive it in a straight line because the steering goes wobbly.
Happy Motoring
