  1. *** ***Apart from possible a 1.8T, it sounds more like a vacuum cleaner on steroids Mash foot, wait for the blue lights to count up, change gear just as the red one flashes at you - repeat
  2. I realised the other day, you were totally right when you said ''it just has mountains of torque, everywhere'' Not driven it much lately really, been driving the fiesta company car, and since the incident, a mk7 golf tsi, which feels nippy enough. taking the track car out, even on low boost, it just pulls like crazy, seemingly any gear, any revs, it just goes. Quite enjoyable really Dann: I think to determine fun we need to factor in cost vs fun here as well. For what you've spent, I don't doubt the tdi provides more enjoyment than you'd get for the same money on a petrol equivalent, vs the running costs day to day, so its probably the obvious choice for you. Fun can also be diminished by the knowledge that it's costing you a fortune, the MX5 philosophy here perhaps, cheap care free cars can be used to greater potential as the consequences are less. I still stand by my statement though, given money as no object, it'd be very hard to beat a petrol in terms of driver enjoyment. there's just something about the sound and feel of a highly strung petrol engine winding up the revs that you just don't get from an agricultural sounding tractor lump
  3. I don't in any way want to belittle Dan and his ibiza here, I'm sure he's going to love it. But, lets just clear one thing up: Diesels get you to and from work as cheaply as possible. thats it. if money were no object, could anybody seriously say they'd pick the diesel variant of any car that's available in both petrol and diesel? They are not fun. Some are fast yes, but they will never compare to a petrol engine until someone figures how to make them sound nice, rev properly, and also, smell nice! I love the smell when you're out for a hoon with a mate thrashing down some back roads and it smells like you're in a dyno cell. With a diesel it smells like you're following a bus.
  4. I have an ultra sonic cleaner, I use it for injectors. it's great!
  5. I can confirm, he is infact an incredibly good salesman, which is a genuine surprise, considering he's such a complete C*nt outside of work! xxx
  6. Going off topic still, I still have a VHS video of rowan riding in plymouth made almost 15 years ago! I'll have to see if i can get it to work, which might involve finding a vhs player! haha.
  7. This thread is lacking pictures of black A3's I feel. here, have a few:
  8. I think this sums it up well. You're definitely a dick. But I guess I need someone to moan at xxx
  9. I care because I'm your mate, and if I'm honest, I think you're heading for a full on f**king break down. I've tried telling you this privately, and you don't seem to listen, so if publicly shaming it upon you helps get the point across, then so be it. makes I sad. but I've told you this.
  10. I don't understand the question? it's a bike forum. Bikes are for kids. Go figure. Those of us who've been here a long time, and still ride, stick around to discuss shared interests, hence the existence of this thread....
  11. properly wicked spec there spunky, 340+ all day long I reckon. I'll have a word with Niki, tell him to make it special for you
  12. sorry mate, but you've started earning a decent wage, and gone totally off the rails. £2k watches? a ralf lauren scent for each day of the week? £800 on a tub of wax? You're worse than Linsay Lohan, rehab next for you I reckon.... After years of bitching about wanting fast cars, why not invest this small fortune you seem to be earning in a fun car and come play with your friends? rather than getting abused on the internet for being a goon with your money and polishing your tdi? Makes I sad to be honest
  13. I really desperately hope you havn't bought that Jardo. If you do, I'll genuinely be talking to your mum about having your wages redirected into a savings account for your own good and having you comitted.
  14. So, the fiesta lasted just over a week and 1000 miles. Potentially written off due to making friends with the spare wheel of a transit van on the M3. Damage is extensive from the front bumper back to the rear axle!
  15. Dude, if the impellor has fallen off, and NO water is circulating, then this is NOT OK, regardless of what they've told you. Temperature gauge won't show the overheat either, as the static coolant in the block will heat up and the coolant in the pipes near the temp sender will stay cold!
  16. I have the 17'' black TT rims that jardo ran on his car for a while, open to swaps for your CH's mine are genuine too, not reps
  17. Ticcy that's pretty shit! if the water pump isn't working at all you shouldnt be driving it!
  18. Good work mate, looks like a nice kit
  19. I've changed What's happening to me? 350 miles on the clock, and despite having a whopping 95bhp, I'm absolutely loving the Fiesta! Very impressive little chassis for a stock car, less grip than the megane, but nicer balance, and not fast enough to get into trouble. Not bad for a free car.
  20. translation please Nice one Alex!
  21. Clio was good, E36 was tidy, but ultimately pretty shit. new A3 is ultra smart, really, really nice, but I do still think you'll likely get bored of it.
  22. Nice one Nipple, I hoped i was wrong and tarty was right, lovely cars those just incase anyone was feeling sad at the lack of A3 pics posted recently, here's an action clip to satisfy your cravings
  23. Always the optimist Adam my guess is on a 2.5 tdi A4
