    You could mod the PS mini to play any game you want.

    I used to mod every console I owned back in the day but for the past at least 7 years I have been buying every game I play. Just to support the developers. But I would have no problem modding a PS mini due to the games being years old and the money will not go to developers anyway. But I have no interest in owning a PS mini anyway.

    I only bought it cos it was reduced €30.

    Not even worth that because of the selection of games on it. Destruction Derby was way worse than I remembered!

    Yeah I bought one to play the original GTA, hard to believe that was all we had and we loved it.

    So, with it being a nice day here in good old pain the arse warsaw I thought I'd treat the outback to it's first wash since February.
    Have been remote working for six weeks so washing the car isn't a priority.
    Did the deed and when I was drying it spotted three cracks in the back bumper which for ****ing sure weren't there in February.
    Raging, looking for the car parked in our garage that could have done this will be fun.

    I played GT to death on my PS1 and 2 but then met my now wife so that was the end if that.
    Until this whole situation started as I bought a PS4 online from Smyth’s a few weeks ago and said it was for the kids.
    I’ve been playing Gran Turismo Sport ever since. I feel like I’m 20 again.

    Thanks, keeping the strips for now, they go well with the car. They're not as bright in real life as in this HDR photo.

    You should check out project cars 2. I'm playing that and a game called assetto corsa on the pc at the moment. They're both savage especially with the g29 wheel.

    Picked this up a while ago for the odd bit of towing we do, 2.5 DSE. Nicely spec'd and well looked after, a lovely change from the Sportage it replaced, although that was a great yoke too.

    In the height of all this madness, mine got a bit more crazier..

    I have recently acquired a Golf GTD. Really like it so far, but also still love my A6. Now to decide which to keep...

    That was the first thing that came to my mind. It is beyond me why you would buy a diesel golf as a second car if you already had a diesel A6. Not knocking either car both look spotless. But if you had the luxury of a second car it would be nice to get something sporty and a bit special.

    Financially, I cannot keep the two cars (especially two diesel cars). Just in a situation now where I have the two cars and have to decide which to keep :o Both have their pro’s and con’s, and I guess I have a few weeks to decide as I am at nothing trying to sell a car until this lockdown is lifted.

    Selling both cars may also be an option.. but I would still need a diesel car for the mileage I am doing.

    Do you need a large car for long journeys or do you want a smaller faster and more fun but less comfortable car?
    I’d keep the golf , get a nice remap and you have a pretty fast hatch that will still do 45mpg.

    Even without the remap, it wouldn’t exactly be slow.

    True. Both cars are similar that they are both low mileage and both have similar extras. The Audi is far superior for quality, but the VW is a bit more fun to drive.

    Think i’ll keep the VW. I don’t necessarily need a large saloon car at the moment, so I may aswell enjoy having a hatchback while I can.

    Not going to make a definite decision for another two weeks - I’m at nothing trying to sell a car at the moment until the current lockdown is lifted!

    Not slow but not fast either. A remap makes them properly quick. Faster than a stock GTi.

    Car is only 5 weeks old, and I'm already reminiscing back to the few days we had it before total lockdown, and being able to drive it further than our local Tesco with Mrs. & Junior BoBandy on board!!

    As fun as a four cylinder diesel can be i suppose. It was quick, very torquey and the remap was very linear so it held boost well up the rev range, it handled well as i had VWR springs on it as well. Was just missing the fun factor you get from a fast performance petrol.

    What kind of numbers were you looking at after a remap hooch, 240-250hp? More torque than the GTi would make if feel faster alright.

    Tossy's sarcasm game is strong:D:D

    You can't fit one to an R due to the exhaust set up.

    I remember a guy down here years ago had one fitted to an EK9 Civic to tow his Jetski around, always thought it was a good enough reason to justify one.

    Picked up this Arona in March. Gave it a going over today with the hose and some polish.

    Really enjoying it. It has the 1.5 TSI engine. Cracking little unit and quite nippy in the smallish car.

    Ah family member has one of these with the 1.0tsi engine I didn't even realise you could get them with the 1.5 that is a great engine for it. Also the seats and Virtual Cockpit make the interior.
