lol. Although i do know what you mean - think you need a CSL for it to feel really special on the inside!!
Now booked in for rear subframe check on Thursday at Cooper Thames Ditton ...
That was probably your VAGdar sensing another understeer monster :p
Was gonna come in the M3, but realised how far Essex was & made Ollie drive the derv bus.
Sarah wasnt attending so couldnt charge her half you see ...
A TT? I was in Ollie's 306 lol ... you must have confused me with some other mincer ;)
lol, only cos of the rank air filter, which was clearly bunged on there when they took off the teikwando thingy ...
Yours needs lows, camber/alignment mod & some black jap wheels then it'll be rite.
It is, too busy driving it to care about what it looks like tbh.
Which brings me onto the 1st proper write up now that i've driven it fairly 'enthusiastically', albeit in the damp, & well it really is great:
Took it for a couple of runs down one of my favourite road's yesterday, which in the...

Want to get to 200k in it lol.

Nice looking car btw. Basingstoke is the best place to live ;)
Did you find it at the bottom of a river lol?!
If it had full history, why didnt they clean the air filter? Unless they did it with mud/rust of course ...
Great gearchange on these.
Thanks for organising Vicky!! As Ollie said, our weary old bones needed a rest afterwards, hence our absense from the pub.
Also, apologies again to whoever it was i moaned at the end for punting me off after lapping them in the last 5 mins or so...
Quick fitment of parts at lunchtime ...
Pikey air-mod: basically a 45 degree drainage joint to pull air from the bumper scoop straight up into the airbox feed.
(Buying a fog light shortly, priorities, etc)

New BMC filter: purchased for...
