Title: This Months Max Power!!!!
Post by: Fielder5757 on 29 November 2005, 13:19
Being as im now an official boy racer ive decided to start reading max power  :grin: Opened it up today and to my suprise they have a Mk2 Golf 20VT Racing a 500BHP Lambo gurraro (SP), Guess who won.....

The Mk2 golf of course.  :cool: They had a whole list of euro hatch backs (and a scooby for some od reasion) and the VW golf was the second fastest car there, Only beaten by a AWD cossworth powered Fiesta. The 20VT is jabbasports latest creation and is a compleate sleeper (minus the exhaust and carbon bonnet) and started off its life as a 1.6

Golf Stats:
0-60 5.17 seconds
0-100 9.62
1/4 mile - 12.98
TopSpeed 169.99

And its still driven as a daily driver  :laugh:

the stats for the golf dont look so good that it would beat a lambo..IMO..actually it depends who was driving, if it was one of them out of the mag then anything is possible  :rolleyes:  :grin:

Power to weight ratio may have had something to do with it, plus the fact that Mike Trueluck of Jabba is a complete nutcase!!

Max powers excuse:

"the track is an old airforce runway and the surface was un-suitable for standing starts unlike professional drag strips where the surface gives better grip, So these cars are even faster on the track"

Only baught it for the Mk2 TBH, might rub one out over one of the sl*ts later i guess, Otherwise i did just waste £4.60....Oh well :)

Do people still buy max power?!

It's only use is the ads, the features are rubbish and the writing awful.

Unless it's changed since the last time I perused a copy.

The last time I looked at one was while I was waiting to have my car MOT'd. Why do they make up stupid words and phrases? They do really go for the lowest common denominator.

Hypothetical question, if they wanted to feature your car, would you do it?

I don't think I could, the shame would be too much.

Errrr you were writing that last post at 01.18, when most of us were asleep you were cutting holes in life size posters and telling a popular Vw Forum!!!

Ha Ha your a wrong'un  :grin:

So if anyone wants this months issue of Max Power let me know, as i've looked at the Alarm/ Ice specialists in the classifieds (and none as cheap as the one I found on line) and they were packed in between the girls of the last cruise they were at, who tell us they take it up the Bum and lots of Crap looking feature cars  :shocked:

So form a que  :grin: and i'll even pay the post maybe we could pass it on??
