Oh, no I meant I threw up at 11:35 and and then obviously had to slip home and slap the missus around, now I'm coming back for seconds.

uke No Europeans can beat us Brits for hard drinking eh?
(Yeah, make mine a half of shandy as the wife says I've got to cut the grass this arvo).

Lovely Car but a bit ducati like, is badly built but very very beautiful.

I can assure you that the GTA's are very well put together, i own one albeit a 147 GTA and its been the most realiable car ive ever owned over 2 years :inlove

agree with superted,im also a fan of vw's.
ive just got the 2003 golf gt tdi 130bhp,and had it re mapped to 200bhp and over 300lbft torque and it goes like a *******,still returning 50+mg too.
the build quality is 2nd to none too,no squeeks or rattles ect.

lol got to say im not a big fan of Golfs, i've hated them for years saying theres too many about etc, it would be a sin if I got one, but I may think about a TDI passat.

V_senna said:
The Seat Leon TDi's are stunning I wouldn't mind one of those either, but no way am I ever going to own a skoda, lol.

How about going for the Golf GT-TDi's better looking cousin the Mk1 Leon Cupra TDi then :yumyum

Ours is running a remap and after-market filter/exhaust so has 200+bhp/300+lbft :devious Your mates wouldn't laugh at you in one of those !!

Cheap-ish road tax and insurance too

yeah I dont mind the A4 actually really like it, not going down the alfa route simply because of reliability, they look nice but just want a solid car and 'zee germans' seem to have done it properly.

Don't believe the hype mate

Had my Alfa for two years with no problems what-so-ever

Ummmm, Volvo??? :dunno I'm lost :biggrin

jayb · Oct 23, 2008

If you wanted Sweidsh luxury, then it needs to be a T model Volvo or preferably a Saab Aero.
Bit different to the TDi's you were on about? but Volvo do make some of the comfiest motors going and that probably has a good stereo with the centre front speaker.
Had a T5 for a bit last year to see me through a rut, quick, thirsty and a ******* boat, with the worst speedo accuracy I've ever seen, 100 on clock = 87 on sat-nav. I think they decided not to change the speedo for the 50 profiles on the T5 compared to he 60 or 55's on the standard ones!

Well plans have changed slightly, Im 100% keeping the mille, but still tracking it, BUT im fitting a projector lamp on the front so will be a track bike but road legal ish....lol

Sold the zx6r and out of all the volvo's, beemers, VW's and audi's, the Audi/VW range I will agree are the best out there, im pushing towards an A4/A6 model, but with the VW passat in mind too

Still like the volvo but there not the cheapest things to insure, even the bmw was cheaper.

jayb · Oct 26, 2008

Am biased, but Passat gets you more for your £, no questions. Plus it's an A6 pretty much and Audi only started doing an A4 Sport TDi after 2001 and they were silly money whne I was looking early this year. Althought the used car market has had the living **** kicked out of it this year... :angry:angry

TinTin · Oct 28, 2008

I have an Audi A4 Avant TDi Sport, 130 BHP, almost 50 mpg most of the time, all leather inside, etc... Had it for 2 years now, and wont be getting rid soon either. 103k on the clock and still feels like new. Much nicer than the BM i had before.
I know where you are coming from with the risks of riding on the road. I just cant stop though!! Becoming a dad 2 years ago did slow me down a bit though!! Now i see my little girl in my mind if i am being silly!!

supertedlover · Oct 29, 2008

NORA look at BORAS, passatt but cheaper
