    Abandoned V6

    This car is literally 1 mile from my house, when I was going around in my old Black Gold V6 circa 2007 it was driven and always clean. It's been sitting dumped for basically 6 years. Engine covers are nowhere to be seen and its paintwork is wrecked, looks like something's been poured over the...

    Can anyone reccomend me a headunit which is decent but not going to break the bank? It has to control my 5S and allow me to make and recieve calls, and also charge my phone via cable if this is possible? Its for the tractor which doesn't have a 12v plug and my battery barely lasts the day :(

    Had the BMC filter on the Vee since I got the car, and I've never been happy with the sound, and found that it used to knock going over bumps etc, it sounded nothing like the pipercross viper evo on my old mk1 Vee, So as the car is SORN I did a bit of investigating and upon removing all the...
