    Selling the GTI and Buying an '89 Porshe 944 Turbo Would Be Really Dumb Right?

    I went from owning old cars - pre 1990's to owning newer cars - post 2005, 2011 and all I can say is, I'd take the newer ones any day of the week. Keeping in mind that the older cars weren't high end like Porsche / Ferrari and so on but let it be said, older cars will cost you far more cash...

    1626.1 miles in one tank

    We've a 1.6TDI BMT Diesel and it gets between 1100-1200 kms (684-746 miles) per fill and that's driving it standard with a few off the line shoots (you can't really do much in a 1.6 Diesel anyway!!!) The BMT is a bit of a PITA sometimes if you're stopping and starting a lot. You'd wonder are...

    VW Newest Car

    The frightening/upsetting thing about this (albeit fantastic technology) is that it'll make our cars obsolete and rendered illegal to operate in the future... Long time away but food for thought.

    What's the world coming to?

    Brainless Twat & his Facebook page verifies that. People like him should be put down, do the world a favour, more Oxygen for us to breathe etc... The Justice System there is just as bizzare as ours.
