get her screwed! lol

seems like a sensible runaround! At least it has a turbo - even if it does come in about 5000 rpm!

I'll put it down to the years of late night drinking!

was afraid if I cut a hole in the bumper of the golf a few boys would be round my house giving me a severe beating (cough Gambit) lol

Can't find torque figures anywhere, im guessing it'll be double figures, possibly 18-19 lb ft - will be attempting to pull the skin off a rice pudding when I get home... I'm not expecting much

You should take the front brake pads out and just use the rear drums to slow you down! At least youll not have to worry about losin to much momentum comin into a corner!

Haven't touched the wand yet, think the wheels will fall off if I did...

Driving in wet conditions is interesting, I wouldn't put it in the same league as handling a pre-traction control porker 911 though... because if I do go into a hedge backwards I won't care

Think i'll leave the front pads on Marcus, if only for decoration, not as if they retard the momentum much anyway...

Twain loved it, I think the handling impressed him no end specially when I demonstrated its abilities on a mini roundabout... must be a record for the slowest understeer on record... oh and you know you love my hubcaps

Whatever you do dont dote (spelling?) it, if i catch you even putting polish within a metre of it i will put a constant reminder that the car is 'not to be looked after' up the side a la key :grinning: ...although you should use it to practise with your new sooper dooper poilsher, whatever happened to elbow grease, pad and rub like fook ;)
