Wow....the weight of that thing, were the hell has it all come from? Why do vw insist on making a car with a great tunning potential but then fill the doors with mercury?  :stupid:

Polo is meant to be small and light....still going to get my mrs to get one tho...if there not gtr money that is :signLOL:

That is a wet weight though and includes driver and luggage! 330 bhp in that through easy tuning would be mental!

1 turkey leg and a glass of sherry and we'll soon have you up to 11 stone!

I used to weigh 64kg when I cycled everywhere, but that was a long time ago. Around 76 nowadays.

It's on its arse at the moment, poor competition, lack of interesting cars and the worst media coverage ever.
I'm a massive rally fan but have totally lost touch with the WRC over the last few years, sure VW entering is good but without iconic manufacturers such as Ford, Mitsubishi and Subaru jibbing it there's not a lot of interest there.

Lets hope that Loeb's absence and some better coverage by the Red Bull lot can start to revive it a little.
