Re: Hello Long Time....

Nothing exciting to report VW Touareg for the moment, which has come in handy over the last few weeks :D Although I have a few ideas for the new year. Any tuned Roccos yet, If I remember Andy was doing a few bits and bobs?

Re: Its a year old today

Its funny I was thinking about the Scirocco the other day and I have to admit I do miss it, in all respects it was a very good looking car, its handling was just a bit iffy at best but it was a pretty good all rounder. I think it is a car that should have been restricted to being a sports car i.e th...

Re: insane insurance?

I was paying just over 1k for the Roc with a mod friendly insurance scheme :) most I've paid was on my first car which was £2200 for a Civic Type-R.

Most I have been quoted is more recently on an RS4 avant which was a lovely 4k ouch :( :rolleyes:

Re: Selling current car

Pistonheads, I sold my Scirocco there after having it up for 2 weeks and I got exactly what I wanted for it. I've also sold and R32 and a Merc 55 AMG on there and these are the types of car that get window shoppers and tyre kickers. I guess its because it is a sight run by petrol heads which helps. ...

I cringed when I saw this one in paticular as we were young and naive and thought it was ...

Have my test drive booked up this weekend coming, yes the spoilers are a bit OTT but thats what the car is all about, I have come from a past of some awful looking jap metal, but cars like these have character and are a hoot to drive.

Re: Handling Problems

Actually an airfield is a great place to learn to use the electronic systems (esp and abs). ABS is a wonderful thing, most people have no clue just how much braking stability a modern road car has, just how hard you can punch the brake to activate the abs, hold it and steer around a hazard (emergen...
