you've been watching too much red tube

I will never miss second again....believe you me :lol: !!

.....being beaten off the lights by a cooper S :( ......pulled up to some lights today and a cooper S pulled up next to me.....I thought I would blow him into the bushes which I was in the process of doing until I grabbed second and mist :gag: ......damm......lots of revs, no drive and pink face !!!! Just thought I would post my disapointments and shame :shock: If I catch it out again I wont make the same mistake :bad-words: ......in general though I'm an easy going guy.

thats the problem I have with the mito :D

very good effort :notworthy: ........but no cigar mate :lol: :lol: .........

I think its impressive that an (almost) entry level scirocco can see off a Focus ST which in standard guise is considered the best in class around the corners......and there should be still more to come with the scirocco aswell, although to be honest I'm already looking forward to the facelift !! ......and talking of facelifts, Jim you cant be serious, 500 is veeeeery cool but the Mito looks like its had a bad hollywood face lift :shock: !!

Yeah I never agree with that cool wall thing.....Alfa Mito.....What the @~:?

Couldnt agree more Jim about the styling thing, All you actually here about the new scirocco is the styling and banging on about its history....which is intersting, but at the same time not all that relevant as to how good the current one is. I never really thought of it like that but thats got to be a big reason why I'm surprised its actually quite a good car by the sounds of it, according to the reviews at least. Given the chance I would drive around the ring in a trolley let alone a new scirocco....lucky lucky man !!

Has anyone else noticed that the Scirocco lap time posted in EVO is pretty darn good.......its quicker most notably than a focus ST which aint bad at all :shock:.......and the 'hot' version hanst even been launched yet (alhtough to be fair it will probably just have leather, air con and walnut as standard, be about 1/2 second quicker to 60 and cost 20% more) .....am I the only one surprised by this.....I know you can just say its a golf GTI so no surprises, but still good IMO. ......doesnt make me like it any more though :tongue: :lol:

thats pretty cool, I would imagine the the bags would have to be like the ones the fire brigade use... made from kevlar or something.....dont you hate the way the aussie's always do it better !!! I reakon you should give this a go Walesy then you could have any ride height you wanted at a push of a button :D !!!

inflating and delfating air bags in the rear springs...... sounds interesting, never heard of that (other than possibly a shite french manufacturer who shall remain nameless), how did it work ? sorry bit off topic dont suppose Walesy's going to do that with the TDi !!!

Walesy just seen the post now, glad your doing a thread on the new van like you said you would in the last thread......Van looks cool, white is the new black dont you know :camp: ...... I would say concentrate on getting the van nice and comfortable and then think about how it looks.....will follow this with interest brings back memories of driving around OZ :) :( !!! p.s. take the bra off aswell mate IMO

oh god I cant even imagine doing that......how will you go about doing it though, will you buy the clips new from VW ? are they mostly universal i.e is there only three or four style of clip throughout the car or something ?

no mate, its still doing my head in....I havent really looked into it properly yet because every time I get home these days its cold and damp and I dont have a garage :( but I think that the rear plastic mouldings attached to the boot are to blame as its definately coming from inside the car.....so defo not dampers :?

^^^^ ouch thats gonna hurt.....saw a black one this morning actually and it was as dull as dishwater !! sorry off topic.

Driver looks pretty calm in picture six seen as though it looks like he's gonna ditch it....I might like it more after :D .....not to sure its my cup of tea.

.....blundell's comments are up there with the worst of them.....the funniest, I reakon BBC should keep him on for the comedy factor !!

.....couldnt agree more, two legends in their own right :notworthy: Allen is a complete twat, I dont mind brundle but over this year he seemed to get more sensationalist, I prefered his dead pan years previously !!

interiors looking cool Andy.....love the colour of djmac56's mk4 thats well nice !!

Wasnt sure about the rims at first but a few more glances and they started to grow on me......very nice Andy, looks cool....glad your getting rid of the walnut :D, although I noticed theres still the gear nob to go matey !!!

....well no logic thats easy to trace at least.... obviously it ends up at the lowest point :) !!!

You should sit in the car and get someone to spray a hose on and around the car for at least 5 minutes (cause it wont show straight away) and that should help you see where its coming from, otherwise you will end up replacing loads of stuff that you prabably dont have to.......I did this and found it was the door membrane. In my experience you have to be patient otherwise it will drive you mad, because theres no real logic to how water can end up where it does !!!

Just seen the guys got a blue one on his website aswell....hard top.

Your mum had a 944 cabriolet.....cool mum :salute: !! Love the blue.

couldnt tell you how it compares but I think they are wicked.....although I would imagine the credit card would take a larger hit than having a rado :lol:
