    Candy White 6R Polo GTI

    Picked this up last night from the dealership. :bounce1: Well, got a fair deal on our Fiat 500, so managed to work out a good deal on this Polo GTI from Birmingham VW. I had tried to buy the one that SteveP (from the Mk5 Golf GTI Forum) ended up buying, and was negotiating a deal at the same...

    Show me your Oulton Park roll cage

    Good price. Its what i sold them for when i bought the lot of old stock. Expect some people to try and profiteer out of them at some stage. Agree it is a bargain, but all they are worth 2nd hand really. They cost over £500 each for them to be made originally, but they were a bespoke service, not...

    Show me your Oulton Park roll cage

    Harness bars should only form part of the structure of the rollcage. You could easily have a piece welded into the rear part of the cage half way down the uprights across the diagonal. If you intend to, make sure you get the correct diameter CDS. Do not use any old tube. It must be CDS...

    Test drove a 250 yesterday

    335i bankrupts on the fuel costs. Work colleague had a 135i, was a fantastic car, but 15mpg most the time.

    Test drove a 250 yesterday

    Ive had over 20 cars in 5 years mate. Never found a car ive been 100% happy with. You have to try them all till you find the right one. Go for it if you can take the hit. :)

    Which is the best Track for a novice

    This is so frustrating on track, and its definitely worth slowing down for a couple of laps or pitting (if its an OPL). Some people seem to think they are racing, and just cause they can outdrag you on a straight, that they have a right to be in front. When you are literally rear ending them on...

    Which is the best Track for a novice

    Bedford is great fun. I had a great laugh there on my last track day. Make sure you are doing the full circuit though.

    Test drove a 250 yesterday

    With the announcement of the 265 next May, there must be some serious negotiation taking place. I bet you can get several thousand knocked off a 250 at the moment.

    Test drove a 250 yesterday

    What did i say? The 200 is a fantastic chassis, but the engine is pony and outdated. It sings nicely, dont get me wrong. And its well balanced. But i wished for more power everyime i drove my 200 on track. The straights are a killer. Tight twisty tracks are ok, but get on anything like...

    Fuel Consumption - How many miles do you get from a FULL TANK?

    Did this guy ever figure out how to get into this? I imagine him still waiting trying to fill up with fuel.

    200 cup for sale

    Other one just looks high mileage. I think Lookers Chester are pretty reliable, if they knew it wasnt a clear car, then would definitely advertise the fact it had been accident damaged/repaired.

    200 cup for sale

    Clearly says its had to have a VIC check, means its been written off and repaired. I think we discussed it on here a few days back. Still, if its been repaired to a good standard, it could be a bargain.
