Post by: Hurdy on 08 August 2008, 16:01
I'd actually like to run 2 polls, but this one will do for now.

Get your votes in. I think I know which one will win though :rolleyes: :wink:

No brainer for me - OEM specs or BBS aftermarkets.

Surprise surprise lol. Good wheels and suit the MKV but not original.

....Same for me. The BBS Monza is a beautiful design and synonamous with the Mk5 GTI and the BBS Pescaras are a classic design very appropriate for the Ed30.

Being of a certain age(41),from me very first lusting after a Lhasa green Mk.1 at the age of 17,the best Golfs have always looked cool with BBS wheels of the appropriate era.
Of the current crop the CH and CK are about the best,unless you have the dollar to splash on the full on Le Mans beauties.Really like the polished CK,fully intend fitting 19"s to the Scirocco i have ordered when it lands. :smiley:

I went for BBS but I also like coloured alloys but only certain one's - anthracite/silver/black style not your purples/blues etc, on a BBS wheel even better!

There is only one to chose for this old girl.
Some I found while having a "rummage" in the BBS factory.

<Pedant mode on> It was actually "Ray, fire up the Quattro" <pedant mode off>

Cool motor though.  One of my old mates had one, long before I was into Audis!

My apologies, you are spot on Hurdy, I was probably more interested in letching at Keeley Hawes to be taking detailed notice of the dialogue!  :embarassed:  Thanks for the link anyway.  So did they they ever use "Ray fire up the Quattro" - or is that now one of those internet rumours which has spread out of control?  :undecided:

They probably did use  "Ray fire up the Quattro", but the one from the first episode is the classic one and .....err.....yes, I do have it as a ringtone :embarassed:
