What state of tune Twiggy, was yours stock?

Does look abnormally fast which is fantastic :evilgrin:
I can't see how with stage 1/a tuning box that I would ever need something quicker, genuinely.

MQB platform vehicle will definitely be my next car. Wish the Golf R was as good as the GTI on fuel

Should be here in December. So much more raucous than I thought it would be. A different car to the M135i I had, but very very good!!!

Luke's previous car tax renewal forms  :evilgrin:



I'm sure you'll end up loving it, I think they look like a truly capable, 'drivers' Golf. Some of the in gear and launch performance around the net shows crazy stats.
