I'm with you on the washing it front Rhyso - described as concours, but pictured dirty.  Doesn't really give you confidence.

Hard to say because he was the first to get the twinscroll conversion so was used as a test bed. Engine/clutch/gearbox work is around 12-13k i think. JBS will be releasing it as a kit soon, we'll know prices then.

 :shocked:
Had some work done at JBS and were talking to them about car and video. Said you can't see just how close he was to the tt at end, and how much camera-man sh!t himself :grin:

Was reading a review in old Golf+ mag of a 600bhp Octy VRS they'd done. Review said it was awesome considering it was fwd.

not a huge fan of how they have nastyed the R32 here lol.

not worth more than 12.5 k in my eyes.

if i had 15k i would have a charger R32 over naything else in the price bracket.

that vr6 sounds unreal but even more so with a huge charger screaming like a superbike :evil:
