hum, :evil:  If someone had spend loads on modding there mk2 or mk3, there would be wow thats great, with its 2mm ground clearence and 20" spaced out alloys. But because someone actually improved the saftey of there car by buying winter tyres so reducing stopping distances, improving grip etc they get ripped to bits. I guess thats the difference, when you grow up and have to pay the bills you look at practical things to help you get to work to pay the bills to keep your spotty horny 17-22 year old in uni with their ride running on bags with fat rims.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Or... Maybe... Just Maybe... We run "all season" tyres? oh theres a thought.. and maybe i have grown up, and pay bills, oh and i probably do more for this country than you.. bless you and your bullsh!t comments that make no sense...As for the Safety issue, i am sure the drilled and vented discs and performance pads mixed with a decent tyre is plenty enough to reduce my stopping distance...But then again, driving experience is the winner here and driving all around the world i think helps.
