    I have absolutely no idea. I just know it sounds glorious when on the loud pedal

    Little button below the stereo (that looks like a whistle I think).

    Still no idea. I probably should know; I obviously checked it over very carefully

    At least you can enjoy the drive back from the divorce court

    What I want:

    Reasonably practical - hatch at least, estate ideally
    Comfortable / well spec'd
    A good drive

    Thinking R32 Golf. Anyone any advice on these?

    Budget about 8k

    Any others to consider?

    Probably the best cases of budget and requirement creep I've seen in ages

    Strangely enough I do believe my wife may have said something awfully similar when I told her I'd spanked bare cash on a potential grenade

    Sat out to dinner last night with friends just smirking and giggling to myself like a dementia patient. And I haven't even picked it up yet. Still can't quite believe what I've done.


    Anyway - funds have cleared so I'm off to pick it up at half 6 ish tonight. By half 9 it'll either be in my garage or in a ditch. Place bets now!

    Do they still qualify as a good drive when they're sitting in your garage busted?

    Awesome work, I was trying to convince my friend to get one - he ended up with a Scirocco

    Which engine is in the 911 then?? The 3.6?

    I think its the 3.4 6-cyl 300 hp lump. I'm sure Arry will confirm.
