I like it, 150bhp go kart, very taut ride and handles well with the XDS diff too.

Its got that drop 2 cylinder tech and tbh you can't tell when its engaging/disengaging between 2 and 4 cylinders.

I'm sure she likes it too after progressing  from a 1.2 3 cylinder Polo, but typical 22 year old - more bothered if her phone connects to the head unit, LOL.

Today I did something terrible to my TCR, something unforgiveable and demeaning to it's status as a performance car. I filled it with three 6'×5'6" broken down fence panels and took it to the tip.... :whistle:

But in fairness, that's why I own a Golf :smiley:

They were probably the cleanest broken fencing ever shipped to the tip.

They were quite tidy actually and broken down into evenly sized pieces :laugh:

I try and time at least one tip visit during the year so it coincides with the day my car is being serviced. It’s surprising how much rubbish can be fitted into a garage courtesy car :grin:.

My OEM service kit comprising of oil, plugs, air, oil & pollen filter - even new sump plug came today. Now just got to wait for decent weather to fit it!

I like those centre caps, think they would look good on my satin black Reifnitz.

They're the Clubsport ones (Part No. 5G0-601-171-BLYC), I got them thrown in with my alloys which made the price a lot nicer. Seeing how centre caps are always not a nice price.

In other news I got my Pretorias put on and really like them  :smiley:
