My golf is 17 year old now, it could probably do with a good tune as well as a new bonnet and tailgate, and possibly a new rev counter as that is now playing up.


my valver is 15, owned it for 10-11 years, and its getting the treatment right now. can't wait to see her again soon. been gone for 2 months....

The VTS is a 16v 1600,
125 bhp,
0 - 60 - 7.5 secs.  (seen as low as 7 mentioned..)
Tops out at 130 mph
