my barge does (on the mfa) 41 on an A-road, bit less on a motorway, 23 if i'm driving on :sick: :sick:
never actually measured the mpg but i only drive two or three times a week so its no biggie

without consulting the MK2 forum how easy is it to drop an ABF into a mk2? i'd love a mk2 but they are that bit too old unless i came across a really fast/special one...

anyone looking for specs should check http://carfolio.com/specifications/models/?man=6483 its the industry standard

I had some fun today at Castle Combe watching a Focus ST get dicked by everything else on the circuit. Most amusing.
