I looked at this car a couple of years ago mate, I remember it being for sale, I also remember it was sold for a shockingly cheap price.

Tony Carter-Ingrams (Not to sure on the second part of the surname) car. He did lots of track days. That car was a bargain at the time.

At the time I was thinking oh 1.8T mk2 - first in the country, how exlcusive 8)

 

Now its more like oh another 1.8T conversion [yawn]

[PhatVR6 0]

buying that 1.8T was a big mistake.......

You talked me into it you bastad!!!!! lol

[PhatVR6 0]

no i didn't!

 

(well, I might have done actually now you come to mention it)

I find this conversation strangely uplifting... :)

I wonder if we'll be seeing the same thing in five years time talking about "poxy R32 lumps", now they've made it into the Audi range too.

hopefully we won't be saying the same about the 1.9 TDI lumps though... ;) :lol:

[dr_mat 0]

I suspect we will...

In fact we already do.

It's funny isn't it. There's only a few engine ranges in production now. All VW/Audi's/Seat/Skoda cars pretty much use the same two or three engines. All of the Peugeot/Citroen group use the exact same engines. I think it's only the japanese companies that are each independant and build their own now...

lol you are not wrong there - no offense to any 1.8T drivers out there they can be very quick punchy cars - I just prefer the instant throttle response of a NA car. I suppose a supercharger will be pretty much the same as an NA car..........oh look I have one those in my garage 8)

:D

Does anyone know the whereabouts of the car that started this thread off?

 

Tony sold it about 3 years ago to someone from the Stoke area, but has never seen / heard of it since. I remember Tony telling me the terrifying tale of the test drive the bloke took him for !
