to give you an idea........

i'm running approx 176bhp

i've done 420 miles; half sat at 90mph following Steve yesterday, and i've got a 1/3 of a tank left

Tax is £125 per year, insurance is about the same and servicing intervals are the same

oh and diesel is only 1p more than petrol  :wink:

All the above are valid points,
But it churns out all that black smoke - get a petrol  :grin:
ARZ K03s, Oettinger Side Skirts, R32 front, Carbon stage 2, Forge 007p (yellow spring), Forge Actuator (yellow spring), Pipercross panel filter with DSG parts, N249 and N112 deleted, SAI deleted, Carbon canister deleted, Rear wiper deleted, Long Life turbo back custom exhaust with 200 cell sports cat, VR6/G60 clutch kit, Creation Motorsport TIP, Catch can, 'Wellycooler', K04 charge pipe, S3 ported inlet manifold - looks pretty standard on the outside though :)

the smoke is handy when in a convoy, it means the petrols can see which way we went  :laugh:
also good for tailgater's
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

The Cheek of it - are you implying that your Diesel is faster than a petrol sir  :grin:

I thought about it, then eventually dismissed it for now as it's still cheaper for me to keep the 1.8T  :grin:
