So your problem is nowhere to keep your Mk2?

The preferred order was no surprise!.......

1st - Mk2
2nd - Mk5
3rd - Mk1
4th - Mk3
5th - Mk4

Of course they big'd up the Mk6 but their pics of the Mk6 GTI disappointed me - Looks like a Mk5 with a bolted on Scirocco front! Doesn't look right in their pic angles.

It's the major driver for it at the moment, plus I'd free up some spending for the MK5 budget  :happy2:

With the massive power your Ed30 now has, I'd be seriously considering a Quaife. But it's such a slippery slope :evilgrin:
