Wow 66000 miles a year do you still commute to norway each day or something!!!
Based on that mileage a VR6 is gonna hit you very hard in the wallet. You may wanna consider a mk4 tdi, still as quick as older gti's but a lot more economical.


You got any pics of your dad's split ?

With that sort of mileage, I would seriously consider getting a LPG gas conversion in place of the spare wheel or in the boot. It will save you a packet within a year. (about £3000/year saving on the fuel @ 38p a litre at the moment)

The VW's are the best reiaible choice for doing that sort of mileage. (or a Jap car :tongue:)

Welcome to the forum mate  :cool:

Don't listen to Wotto and his gang, they'll try and convert you over to the dark side and make you buy a MK3  :laugh: :wink:

Corrado VR6 for that money I reckon  :evil:
