Mark W Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 I'd rather go for a 100hp fun machine EDIT: That said, having seen Adam's video from Donington the Munter's pretty much a 100hp wheel spin machine on those tyres. In related news, high winds and possible heavy rain for Anglesey this weekend: should be interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I know Ads, I've done Cadwell in the wet. It just wasent pleasant around halls bends and down to the start/finish. Even feeding the power in under half throttle it's starting to spin.

AdamR28 Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Sounds like every car in the wet if you're already on the limit of traction and you ask the tyre to do more work by applying throttle, it'll slide. The key is balancing everything to find the quickest / safest way round. I can teach you how and where to find more grip... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it I had some nice company cars, then I got stung by a tax bill because my employers somehow forgot to tell HMRC that I had a car until several years later. If you're paying tax on it, make sure it's coming out of your pay so you don't get a nasty surprise! Great cars, the Golfs. I had a 1.9TDi back in 2008 and it was lovely to drive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 May have squared away a forged engine. Would love to have built it up myself (which would also have given the option of going to a larger bore stroker... </dirty thoughts>) but due to work I simply don't have the time at present so that will have to wait for a future project. Just need to check out a few little details but should be good to go really. Edit; Rods aren't rifle drilled as first though, bollocks. The search continues then...

Funny you should say that, the guy I inherited the car from had exactly that - a year or something of paying nothing. Surprisingly enough, HMRC wanted their money immediately. I'm pushing for the P11D to be sorted ASAP as I definitely don't want to end up in that situation. This one is a 2015 1.4 TSI S GT, so 1.4 turbo with 150bhp. Not rocket ship fast, but fast for what it is. Fantastic amount of gadgets on it too, I'm used to older cars so it does things I didn't know cars could do - like adaptive cruise control where it stays a set distance from the car in front. Cool feature is the bluetooth connectivity with the phone, when you get back in the car it automatically makes your phone resume whatever music was playing when you got out of the car. Oh and it has a sports mode which makes it sound nicer too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete.M Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 I am slightly jealous what with my daily at the moment being from 1988. Entirely my fault, of course. Probably not as bad as Skoze's choice of daily though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
