so this is my second mk4 1 8t, started with a 5 door jazz blue

(http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee429/rench3/IMG008.jpg)decided this was costing to much to fuel

so got rid for fiesta zetec s big mistake. this was way to slow and engine blow up on me after a month so i ended up getting a cupra.

kept this for a year then decided to try the low and slow route, brought a bora kept that for 3 months then decided low and slow was not for me.
