  1. I have owned this Golf for over 6 years, but expanding family has meant I have bought a Passat CC for everyday duties, and after much condiseration have decided not to follow plan of converting this to a track car.

    It has been a perfectly reliable daily throughout all my ownership, and if it wasn’t for having to get 2 child seats in it, would probably keep it longer. It has been surprisingly economical, regularly achieving 40+ mpg .

    The photos show 2 numberplates. The car is currently registered as the 'W' plate, the private plate has been transfered to my new car.

  2. Looking for a cheap run around this sounds ideal. Could you send me some pictures. And we're do you live? Cheers michael

    We live in Flimby, Cumbria. About 30 miles from Carlisle, my girlfriend works in Carlisle so would be quite happy to bring the car there for you to have a look at. Ill get some photos taken later, do you have an email address that I can send photos to?

  3. Got For Sale my girlfriends Seat Arosa 1.7 Diesel, T Reg with 120,000 miles on.

    Car is mechanically sound, starts first time every time. However, its quite tatty both inside and out.Quite a few stone chips on the front, and the drivers seat is very worn.

    Had it for 3 and a half year just as a cheap runaround. Its got teardrop alloys with reasonable amount of tread.

    MOT'd until Jan 12, but needs taxed at end of the month. Cheap to insure and does 50mpg +.

    Would make ideal base for project, or a cheap run around. Available from Thursday.

    £350 ONO. Ring Sam on 07799747554 for more details.

    Will upload pictures later.

  4. Did you know, that the Shower scene stabby noises in Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" was someone jabbing a watermelon?

    ... and the sound of the girl twisting her head round in the Exorcist is someone twisting a leather wallet.

    Very off topic, but with useless information like that, any given oppurtunity needs taken advantage of!

    Awesome vid though!

  5. Not really to do with 'back pressure', that's just something that gets banded around by people who know nothing about exhausts (most of the time).

    You'll more than likely lose torque, that's correct.

    Sports cats can be better than the standard item. It depends which sports cat.

    Why will you lose torque then if its nothing to do with back pressure and is less of a restriction? Just out of interest?

  6. I just let him know you replied, and he'd been trying to figure out what it was all day, it had been annoying him.

    Pretty sure he worked on Dominies when he was in the RAF. Whenever he used to drag me to air-shows he'd always say "Worked on that one" because he'd worked on every one in service apparently!

  7. Just out of interest, what plane are these John?

    I showed them to my Dad as he's interested in this kind of stuff (served his apprenticeship in the RAF and is a bit of a aircraft geek) and he was a bit stumped!?

  8. Yeah agree and i dont mind buying different types or genres of mags but i just like a bit consistancy , if its meant to be a track car then be that , if its meant to be a fast street going car then be that , if its meant to be all show .......you get my point .

    So every car has to be all or nothing, any compromise and its no good in your opinion?

    Why cant someone have a bit or style or luxury/comfort on a track car, or a bit of performance on a road car?

  9. When I did my paper round back in the day, I used to read Max Power, Redline, Fast Car and even Revs religiously, splurge my wages on one a week and that was a months worth of reading.

    Now I can afford them, I don't buy any. Most of the articles in VW-related mags are on cars with build threads on one of the gazillion forums, and a build thread is usually far more intesting
