Those kind of photo-shopped photos shouldn't be allowed in ads like that. Normal, good quality ones are what ya need.

Couldn't agree more, there is also something a little 'England' about those pics, i would prefer see pics of the car now - not from any original UK ad.

sky high. It's a go kart with a super powerful engine.

I'd be afraid of driving it at 140km/h, you wouldn't end well in a crash.

140 is motorway speeds (not that I go that fast, that would be illegal;)) it would be fine going that speed. Wouldn't be good in a crash though but probably fairly easy to avoid them in it (people often over look this when talking about crash safety). Did the sportings come with ABS?

I found it after a bit of searching, I'm not the biggest vw fan, but if i had to, i'd take a corrado, solely because you never see any anymore

Mycroft H · 13-12-2013 04:45PM

A friend of mine had an accident in one of those Fiats she was rear ended at about 60km/h.

The end of it folded like a concertina, the spare wheel was lying in the boot and actually took some of the force out of the accident, leaving it wedged between the driver seat and what was the boot lid.

Vw didn't even make it :pac:, that and the MkII scirocco, the two nicest cars they didn't made. I like the early gti's, passat cc(kinda) and the phaeton too.

Mycroft H · 13-12-2013 04:54PM

Phaeton. Probably the best saloon car that never took off simply because of a VW badge.

YbFocus · 13-12-2013 05:03PM

My new daily is an MLT526 Turbo, loving every minute

Mk1 or mk11 or the last model (mk vi??) gti

Passat cc if it had to be newer and a saloon and I had no other choice!

Does it have to be vw or will Vag group do?

Probably the most exciting and unique VW to ever have been in Ireland??

There is a mk2 with an Turbo'd R32 in it that would take the most exciting tag and a few old school numbers that would take the unique tab, i would rate the Bora high on the list though.

Foxhole Norman · 13-12-2013 07:29PM

Just after jump starting like the 10th person this week. My poor battery.

YbFocus · 13-12-2013 08:30PM

Only VW and only from the current range on the market.

Might as well get a scirocco then (even though they look like a 90's colt that someone stood on)

Best of a bad lot.

YbFocus · 13-12-2013 09:01PM

Wow came back to find all ye smart asses had put in your bit

Cian spec is loosly the following:

740cc injectors.
Some kind of ecu with a dash commander.
S15 ball bearing turbo.
Z32 afm.
Big feck of intercooler.
Walbro 255 pump.
Swirl pot.
Hydro handbrake.
Full cage.

After that it's just adjustable arms and coilovers everywhere for proper setup.

Making 298bhp.
Massively responsive car with so little lag, fantastic to drive!

Edit: I washed it at 7pm so there wasn't much I could do
