I did that to some women thinking she was big time in an Audi TT, i think it was one of those 150bhp front wheel drive ones, she looked confused as a 15 year old valver screamed past her brand spanking new sports car! :grin: :grin:


Done many a TT Upto the 180 bhp best one out near nottingham and i cant say a 150 model is much of a sports car poo car poor mans tt i'd say.

It does amuse me when people think that cos their car is newer it must be faster!!

What letters are on the front of your bottom end. Im sure mine is a 2 litre 9A but it says 11J? Any ideas why?

cool, think the only one that iv realy surprised so far is a guy on they way to work, i was just as surprised though, surly 16year old golf's shouldnt be quicker than new m3's :wink:  got a bit furter up the road and had to get some petrol and the guy pulled in aswell and quizzed me as to what it was, looked up set when i told him it was just an 8v gti.

Its a proper Q car...am lovin it :evil:

Realised the timing was out on saturday- it was at TDC but is supposed to be 6 degrees...now its even quicker!  :shocked:
Hopefully rolling road at the weekend- theres one just outside cullompton for £35/hr
Fitting a mk3 heater matrix tonight...been chipping chunks of ice off the inside thanks to Devon turning into flippin Siberia!

Also the 8v box means it does 3150rpm at 70mph and did a surprising 30.3mpg on M5 this morning :grin:

As for surprising people, my blue sh!tbox is at standard height with small bumpers and a tow bar...l

Sometimes it annoys me, for instance i was in town with my mate joanne and a corrado vr6 went past and i said "ooh a 'raddo VR6" (sounded awesome aswell) and she was like "its crap its an L reg" i ws tempted to strangle her! its a feckin VR6!!!
