I totally agree. I just think it was in response to people calling it slow mainly. But as said, not really about the 0-60 or 'Ring lap times. More about putting a huge huge smile on my face! (Which it does).

Due to the lack of internet I havent had a chance to post these photos up. However, a few weeks ago I went to the Salon Privé event, at Blenheim Palace for the first time. Since I live up the road, it'd be rude not to. The public show ground, and the "Parades" (Read as: Cars hooning it through...

Power to weight its comparable. It's more of a toy than a hot hatch though, I see your point.

People keep saying this, and all the reviews said it. But I rarely see it dip below 30. Only if I really REALLY thrash it. My commute this morning was high 30's, so its a little bit better than the Skoda in traffic on Fuel. Not that this car is about MPG, but its pleasantly surprised me!

Someone in the same boat as me then! I think I'd have to get some wheels the same width and some cheapo tyres to ensure its easier to have on the limit. I'd rather have the car a bit playful on track than out-and-out Grip.

I've always liked them, but was fully ready to be disappointed with it when I took it for a test drive. The reviews are either "Best thing since sliced bread" or "needs more mid range power". Fortunately, I seem to be in the former camp. haha!

And here lies my Dilemma! Do I want more grip? Or will that leave me wanting more power? They do look awesome lowered with some chunky rubber! Yeah, its one of those cars though. It will always divide opinion. Maybe in a few years when they start dipping below £5k a few people will convert? Who...

It's grown up for my standards! haha Yeah I understand your point. It is a bit odd to me that they didn't even add a small low pressure turbo to at least give it some more mid range (although apparently a map makes it better).

Well when I said there was not much traffic...

It's just as economical as my GTI was, so I'm happy with that. As for the leaving behind thing... I guess I've grown out of all that? The big turbo Hot Hatch still puts a smile on my face, dont get me wrong, but I dont go around trying to prove myself against other cars. As said, this car isn't...

Thanks! Yeah, I'd say this is the most sensible I've ever been. I mean, it still has 2 years warranty... thats pretty sensible.

My thoughts exactly. Coming from having no bike, even restricted the bike I have will be plenty fast enough to kill myself on!

The thing is in modern standards 1200kg is light. The Audi TT is (as ever) Based on a VAG platform, and the new platform its based on probably the lightest they've ever produced. However, its still a VERY expensive way of making a fast A3/S3 less practical. Whereas the GT86 is a LOT cheaper, and...

I already have a n L Reg Kawazaki GPZ500, for L2 Licensing purposes! Over 8 Seconds? Not sure where those times are coming from. Pretty sure the book figure is somewhere around 7.5. If you look at all the properly fun Sports cars, or at least old british ones, it follows that formula. Light...

Not many plans right now, I plan on keeping this one a while though so that can/probably will change soon! Currently trying to do my bike license as well, so thats taking up a fair bit of time and money!

There are a number of aftermarket all red rear lights that do look very nice. The Tom's ones being the best (and most expensive).

Cheers! Oh yes, very slippy. But it feels a lot less snappy than the MX5 I had. A lot easier to catch in the wet or dry. In the wet its ludicrously tail happy, but still only if you provoke it. It seems to have a good balance in that I can commute to work in comfort but on a couple of...

Well, I had to change at some point didnt I? Although I was gutted to see the little Skoda go, I'm glad DrRollo on here is happy with it. That car was fantastic for me, but for a while now I've been toying with a newer or new car. Something with warranty, something I wont get bored of. So...

Fantastic photos! I often find myself trawling through vintage racing pics on obscure blogs (often reblogging them on my own tumblr: www.tyredformat.com).

Terrible pictures as I had no time to take proper ones after I finished yesturday, and I'm too hungover today. But after a full detail and a going over with the Rotary (Scholl S17+ with a Medium Cut pad, and Menzerna Super Finish with a Finishing pad), and sealed with Dodo Juice Supernatural...

Meh. The longest car I owned was my Mk5 GTI. This reminds me of it in many ways, probably because it is a GTI with a boot. Quite liking it at the moment but we shall see.

Finally have some brakes again, and also fitted my new Whiteline adjustable rear anti roll bar. To use a tired old cliche, it has "transformed the car".

So to those asking costs, I've worked out that (between us) we spent around £1600. Thats Hotels, Fuel, Toll roads, Ferries. But not spending money etc.

Well I'll make sure to pass on the kind words. (I won't).

Hello there. My SSD is too small. Always has been, and I'm sick of it. Since it's 2 years old in December I could either change for a new one, or upgrade the hard drive. I'd prefer to just upgrade the drive in here. Just wondering whats compatible with these things now? Cheers.

Sorry, in my haste I've totally forgotten about the rules of CS.

First off, it's a go pro on a pole. There's a difference. I've also had it ages, which makes me edgy and cool. As for the Mrs, I punted the idea to her and she immediately was interested. After I showed her videos and photos from the last one she was completely sold. She loved the whole thing...

Thanks all. Was really one to remember. We stayed in hotels, I booked them all a few weeks before we went away. The only place different was Sicily, where we stayed in her cousins house out there. As for costs, I'll let you know. Still trying to tot it all up now (waiting for stuff to leave...

I wanted a yellow one with low miles, and got this at a silly price so I was very lucky! And its been good to me, I enjoy it a lot. Its basically the car the MK4 Golf GTI should've been plus added boot! haha.
