Title: G60 Rallye doubts
Post by: Mr Fantastic on 16 November 2005, 06:33: Hi there ,

I have been driving imprezas for a few years and i fancied something different/rare so i got my heart set on a G6o rallye,
anyway i did a google search and typed g60 rallye and the first link at the top of the page i clicked on was a web page saying something to the effect that golf rallye wheels fall off (fatigue faliure?)
this as really put me off.

Can someone please do a google search and type g60 rallye ,click on the first link and see if they can make any sense of it. The site is called volkswagen golf g60 rallye.

NEVER heard of it happening to any rallyes I know.
Dont let that put you off, the Golf Rallye is a great car :nerd:

And its not exactly an unbiased website by any standard! My personal favorite is the 'Discussion' section - is it discussed? nope, just tells us his opinion again! :laugh:
