Just nipped down to Sainsbury's and they didn't have any of the mag in.

What do they have to say about the Polo GTI? For some reason I quite fancy one of those.

Nooo don't  do it not for vw's asking price.. Buy an eddie insure it, mod it and fill it up with fuel for less than 18k

They said it was a shame that VW hadn't succeeded in making a smaller version of the Golf GTI

[Nasir]

I heard a lot of the runs were done in the tunnels of Leeds where me and my mate take his GTI regularly, for scientific purposes you see

The V Max speeds are interesting.. Only 1.2mph between the R and the GTI..

I wonder what those speeds and times would be with stage 2+ on them
