We like Policemen (and especially Policewomen if they're hot!) who are car enthusiasts. They understand us and use their discretion in making overall judgements.




Sorry to be Waaaaay off topic here Mike I just got to agree with Robin  :smiley:

Italian Police are ALL hot  :drool:  (Well I've never seen a munter over there)

Mind you, when you see some of their uniforms, its almost like they are models on a photo shoot.  :happy2:

Polizia Di Stato Uniforms are made by Belstaff  :notworthy:

I got stopped by Italian Polizia in my GTI in Northern Italy one summer and she was very attractive. Her name was Julietta and she drove an Alfa and the uniform was so stylish I did for a moment wonder if it was all real or a femdom wind-up. It was a bit scary when she insisted on taking my car keys even before my paperwork was checked. I had to work hard to convince her the car was mine! I had been speeding earlier (a lot) but she hadn't stopped me for that - It was a layby pull. She had a stick with round disc to wave me down similar to what they use on airfields - All very stylish - Bellisimo!

Best not go any further off topic in a build thread.

Im wishing Id got a hi torque version of the Peloquin.  Id like someone who's driven st2 / st2+ Tfsi with and without diff to try mine & let me know their thoughts...

Im hoping I can gather enough interest on SCN to have my splitter made in Carbon through Alex @ AKS.

Going to have Alex fit the ground control top mounts & tweak my arches & bumper further to make sure I have plenty of room for track rubber.  

All the above to be done when I leave the car with AKS in May  :party:

On the subject of the diff, although I don't doubt you might feel the differences between the various types, those differences will be subtle. What you feel strongest of all is the fact that you have a diff. A mechanical diff, compared with a VAG oem 'electronic' diff, feels as if Arnie Schwarzeneggar is pulling you round the corner - It's smooth and relentless and in one smooth action of great strength.
