Ollie - that is very worrying!!!  Why would you need that link stored in your bookmarks   Anything you want to confess . . .   

OMG, I've just got a horrible image in my mind.

good call TT, didnt think of that!!, just come back from picking the missus up from work, a VW MK 5 FEST!!!,
 4 CARS in the fast lane on the M27 going some!!, R32 in black(manual) guessing, My gti dsg tucked behind, joined by golf GT 170 IN  azure blue, and that was followed by what looked like a Golf TDI with some young lad at the wheel , trying his hardest to keep up with me and Mr R32, Was very amusing and all partys had a lovelly smile and acnologing each other

I read it in the Sun news paper whilst offshore - My defence for this? Bored and i didn't buy it!

Hmmmmm . . . . fx/on <drums fingers on desk> fx/off . . . . 

My ed has Conti's!

Which ones - SportContact2, or the latest SportContact3

Agree on the skill being taken away by the EVO electronics - however it did take 5 passengers and my shopping very well - Take note though, this didn't take into account that all 5 felt very sick and the shopping was all over the shop (sorry bad pun!)

And I bet your semi-skimmed had been turned into yoghurt by the time you got home!   

All comes down to IMO as stated at the very start - maybe i'm just old school hot hatch where the basic 5 seater was compromised for handling - If you wanted the more comfortable model you bought the GLS, 4 Motion or whaterver instead of the GTI.

Oh - I fully agree.  Compromise is the word.  However, a good basic design of the chassis and running gear on the bog standard models allows a better scope for a hot hatch than a poor designed chassis.  Just look at the Astra VXR -       

However never mind the IMO - well done for getting your feet wet while fishing TT

- Great read and opinions!

Well - have you made your mind up which option you will take - or has that fence now firmly wedged itself between your hairy butt-cheeks !?!?!?

It's been there nearly two months - don't you ever look at the main board?

hey T_T, list the tyre choices in a poll for ED30 owners, It's pointless me doing it, I'm not worthy of your knowledge

What - I wish you'd use the "quote" button Phil, then I'd know exactly what you are referring to!

You are the quote guru TT!

OK, let's do the "ground work", as I'm not sure if you can edit a poll once you post it.

The "possible" OEM choices:

Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2
Continental SportContact2
Continental SportContact3
Dunlop SP SportMaxx
Dunlop SP Sport9000
Bridgestone RE040
Bridgestone RE720
Bridgestone RE050

Any more that I've missed?

Do we also include an option for individual aftermarket tyres, like Avon, BF Goodrich, Centurio, Falken, Fulda, Goodyear, Hankook, Kenda, Kumho, Linglong, Marangoni, Matador, Nankang, Nokian, Pirelli, Pneumant, Semperit, Toyo, Uniroyal, Viking, Vredestein, Wanli, Yokohama - or just list as "one" aftermarket option.

Give it a day or so for thoughts, then we can do the poll.

Also, are we going to allow standard GTI owners, but only with 18"s to post too, as the chassis & suspension are identical?
