I have to say it depends on who's in car wi me or around me  :embarassed:

If B's in his valver then its all out warfare but if its me on me own or with people who ain't into cars I'm really quite gentle with my car

fairly sensible im afraid, my car mainly gets used to commute and cos of the turbo conversion i have to let it warm up properly first which is usually just about when i get to work, or i have the kids in the car and it drinks petrol like its going out of fashion! :sad:

Particularly slow at the moment because the clutch is so knackered every time the boost cuts in, its round to the redline followed by a nasty burning smell :cry:

That said i do have to take it out and teach it a lesson every now and then.... :evil:, cant wait to get my new clutch fitted!!

4 new sticky tyres + engine fettle = group B rally car! in my eyes anyway! I drive like colin mcrae sometimes I have the pennines next door to me with plenty of open fast windy country roads so it's a great big golf playground. Fuel consumption is ridiculous now but outweighed by the smiles! and when it kicks at 4000 it pulls straight round to 6.5 in a couple of seconds so yeah drive it like it isn't mine! and watch the shock on guffers faces on sundays whilst chasing bikes :D

not very - Polo is my daily drive, and it's gotta last me a while yet. Corrado gets its legs stretched, but nothing too heavy.
