Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

They're cool, same seats as I have in the 911 - which are amazingly comfortable and genuinely enhance the driving experience, but I'd be lying if I said that they were easy as a day to day proposition.

How about a TT Sport?

Too few cylinders for Dammit

Yeah Roomster is ugly for sure, but I won't have to look at it while I'm inside.

@hurricane_run thanks.

there's a place in melksham that can do my wheels for 91 each plus vat. i can get the train into work too, which will prob save me a tank of fuel and drama. just hope they're good

If you use Exel wheels he comes to you, with (if he has them) spare wheels for the car to use whilst he’s refurbishing the usual ones

there's also a place in nw5 that does exchange, but they were the ones that had lots of additional £££ on top

Nineteen seventy two. My old man bought it as a ex demo from a VW dealer and the family have owned it since. He and I look so cute going along the road in it.

I was always under the impression the 1.8t was the one to go for because it was as quick as the v6 99% of the time but was a much sweeter steer.

Double post

that's what the people with the 1.8 told everyone

was a much sweeter (under)steer

True. I've only driven the 1.8t so can't comment vs the v6

Also 1.8t is a tuners favourite isn't it? Big power fairly easily.

yeah - I think it had the 225 BAM unit, which was what was in my old Leon Cupra R and apparently highly tunable....

Definitely becoming a modern classic. My ex-brother-in-law had one and he used to go on about it despite having replaced it with a BMW 328i

Do you have a large enough supply of black polo neck sweaters?

Nice. I'd like an early 80s one. The early 2000 ones are so cheap, I want to pick up a 1.8T one once we have space to allow me to restore it. Such a fun engine.

Any pics? I'm a late model fan and always liked the 72 as it had the tombstone rear lights instead of the chunky elephants feet.

Some odd ball features but the Mex's were pretty grim quality in comparison to the Wolfsburg models

Nothing will beat an MPV if you need space in a compact package. Friends of mine have a Mazda 5 and fit 2 adults, two swivel baby seats, a male great Dane and luggage for all in it. I borrowed it and without the second baby seat and the dog the storage space was huge. It's also quite a bit shorter than an Octavia estate.

Has to be a Zafira for no-fucks-given insouciance..

I'm still under 30, I can't let myself buy an MPV.

Then a Berlingo. It's a "ludospace".

OT: Congrats!

Just call it a camper, job jobbed.

True. But they are all significantly cheaper and well, everything is replaceable.
