Awesome this Hurdy. Can't wait to see what you do. Loved your MK5, bloody beasty!

Looking forward to seeing this progress

I love the thought of all that power in a small, light car - a real pocket rocket

This months EVO mag has a small write up of their long term Polo GTi - driven hard on the Stelvio Pass - they seemed impressed. They also comment that it is also a good 120mph cruiser on the Autobahn - so best of both worlds.

I subscribe to EVO and have read that very same write up

They seem to like it more the more they drive it = hidden depths

Some more goodness arrived today.....

The Bilstein coilovers

Team Dynamics pro Race 1.2 alloys and Yokohama Parada Spec 2 tyres, along with the lightweight race battery and underneath it all....The Milltek Turbo-back exhaust system and Whiteline Rear ARB.

Hi there Han and welcome back

How's the Lady with the fantastic Tatoo doing these days? Are you feeling the Cabrio love again?

I'll definitely be at a few more shows next year and may even enter one or two show and shines

Definitely be at Elsecar at some point on the day.

rude not to go to elsecar living so close, i'm half an hour closer, moved to west yorks and 30mins further south!

(not to hijack, but i'm doing well, no new tattoo as of yet, but possible one at frith St tattoo next weekend. Would love a cabrio, but it seems i've bought another mk2, this time a gti - still a 5dr, but couldn't pass it up at the money! it's far better than the mk4 1.4!)

i totally love the polo by the way, think they're a really attractive car with lots of potential!

Me too as I only live 20 mins away. Just looked at your new Motor and it looks good and in the best colour

Don't call it attractive

That's only one step away from pretty!!!
It's meant to be going to look mean and moody

i've been told referring to "stealth" as "pretty" is not acceptable...

Well, I thought that I'd better see what stuff weighs before it goes on the car, so here we are...

OEM wheels with tyres weigh 20.0kg - lighter than I thought.
