Those wheels look absolutely fantastic btw. :happy2: :happy2:

Re power? As with my Eddy I'd like a usable high powered car. Ideally I'd like a Jekyll and Hyde.......nice and friendly while pottering around town or on a daytrip with my precious grandkids or (when the fancy takes me) as brutal as Mike Tyson on PCP. She won't be near the chaps now running around 600bhp but somewhere between stock and there will be cool.
And the REVO wheels are growing on me, I really like them now. I REALLY wanted the VMR wheels but the specs I was after are no longer in production due to lack of demand....Ho hum. The REVO were a decent price, are light as any other wheel around and have enough room inside for a BBK and to swing at cat....all at the same time.

Look forward to hearing about the performance mods once the coolant issue is sorted. Can't believe the space in the MK7 bay compared to the MK5. Does it feel like a bigger car to drive than the MK5?

The Mk7 feels bigger to drive, feels bigger in the cabin and looks a fair bit wider parked up next to a MK5 or Mk6. One thing....the Mk7 R seems to have a shocking turning circle, 3 point turn or more is becoming the norm now while doing a 180 or getting out of tight parking spaces with cars behind you...grrrr.

Tough choice. The Eddy is an epic car. I was told my old Eddy (the Red Mistress) is up for sale......if I could justify having both... :wink:
