Not only 200 ponies but you've got the mivec V6 shreik too.... :twisted: I'm hoping the coming 220ft lb's of torque will help in some way to offset my car's lack of good looks, carisma and a decent sounding engine.. ;)

Ah sure you have to tell it like it is. The Golf is good craic and pretty functional but for pure driving pleasure the FTO completely outshines it

Aye, I'm looking forward to that myself - it's been feeling a bit flat lately - I suspect the MAF night need to be cleaned (doing it this weekend) and this is affecting performance :wink:

Tuesday evening should be fun :twisted:

Good stuff, result! When you're out by Dave McCann, give me a shout, I'm only up the road.
