    Did you meet a fast moving convoy of a CLK320 , Astra, 159 and a Honda Hornet :)

    Some mix when I think of it!

    Unfortunately not.

    You would have saw me if you drove by though. I was the lad in the Focus which was making people deaf with the noises it makes :pac: The gasket squeal is just awful.

    I was there at about 11 pm :)

    Miniature Scenes meet and no Polo? Not even one? Something doesn't add up.

    He did mention "fast moving convoy".

    The Polo must have been slow & solo :P

    Drove through Sally gap up to Bray last Sunday myself. Uphill turbo flutter on lifting the throttle sounds eargasmic :pac:

    2016-Project-GTI-Tarox-Brakes-Update-36-1_zpspyrwxvum.jpg

    I made some upgrades to the GTI recently, you can read about them here - http://www.speedhunters.com/2016/03/project-gti-spring-brake/

    Also, just changed the two front tyres for two Kumho KU36 Ecsta XS', a street legal semi-slick which will be interesting given our climate. I was struggling to get any power down lately and these have certainly made a difference so far. Let's see how they last...

    the first one is dangerous without the second*. the second isn't that useful without the first. Do both and you won't get sh*t said.


    * I of course mean serious work, adding ~25 horses with a remap is hardly going to make the car a danger without a full ceramic kit.

    I'll take a twist on the conventional posting. picture of the JD. 1995, 9,100 hours. Washed it for the first time in a year yesterday, came up like a gem. Had to use a PTO powerwasher, as my own Nilfisk would have no impact on the stubborn dirt. An hour of washing seen it spruced up. Really need to get a new rear number plate for it, that one is one of those old pressed metal ones, with excessive spacing gaps between the numbers.

    Anyone else agree the B5 has aged better than the B6 , the B6 looks ugly and dated now where the B5 still looks great imo.

    I wouldn't call B6 ugly at all, I think both B5 and B6 are nice. Not sure which one I would prefer, tbh, it's a tough call. Also the back end of the B5 reminds me of Polo Classic.

    I think the denim blue ones look ugly for some reason not them all in fairness, I seen a few red ones about that still look great.

    There's nothing wrong with a b5 but I think the b6 is an all together better car.
