Great results. This is now the second K03'd GTI that has broken 300bhp.

Still love steel grey, so much so my .:R is too  :smiley:

Your 'R' is the tits John. I can't wait to see the build on it. Thanks for paying an interest in the thread. Glad you love the steel grey. It's easily my favourite colour, with black a close second.

Bacillus had the first K03'd GTI I saw with 300bhp. He's quite a private chap and doesn't have a build thread, but pops up quote regularly to give good advice. :smiley:

Cool. I'd have to try and find this Bacillus chap and read some of his posts. Thanks for the heads up!

Managed to do a few timed runs on a strip of private land this afternoon. For some reason some of my videos didn't get stored (no memory maybe?)

40-140mph / 23.19s http://s1076.photobucket.com/albums/w459/milessimmons1/?action=view&current=a79e61a5.mp4

Here is a list of 40-140mph timed runs of other cars. http://www.car-videos.net/performance/speed.asp?Speed1=40&Speed2=140

The Gti's time puts me between 07' Alpina B7 and a 02' 911 Targa.         :laugh:

0-100mph / 10.66s  (No vid, will try to do another very soon)

Here is a list of 0-100mph timed runs of other cars. http://www.car-videos.net/performance/speed.asp?Speed1=0&Speed2=100

The Gti's time puts me in the same company as a 03' SVT Mustang Cobra, 04' E55 AMG and 97' F355 Spider. The mind boggles when you consider the Gti is probably a tenth of the cost of these other motors and way, way cooler!  :cool:

And here's some much cooler sh!t.

My biggest account customer leaving in his helicopter after coming down to select some timber. Might I add it cost him three times as much to travel from Brede, Sussex to Frome, Somerset as it did to buy the Walnut he selected for his kitchen....what a thingy  :sick:

http://s1076.photobucket.com/albums/w459/milessimmons1/?action=view&current=fde19af0.mp4

Sorry about my foul language, but I was buzzing as we had just been out in the chopper and circled our way around Frome and the surrounding areas (my first time ever and I shat myself) The cockpit was amazing, heated, leather seats, bang and olufsen sound equipment and a glass of 69' vintage Dom Perignon. Quite a phenom if you know anything about wines/champagnes, as it was the first year of a 3 year string of vintages. f**k knows what the price of that sh!t was.......

Ps. Should have said 'ex' biggest account, as I quit my job in March this year. thingys
