    Silverfoxx. You went Recode? nice.

    My observation:

    The best way to increase the performance of your Golf R is to go away on Holidays for 10 days and get a Suzuki Swift hire car.

    Get back in the R and you have a rocket.

    I can tell you without a doubt that if the others were applying any decent amount of throttle, the R will be nowhere.

    Last day at Sandown had 10+ lambos. From half a straight away they'll reel you in and pass you like you're not moving and they're not even driving that hard. From memory their top speeds on the straights were an easy 60-70km/h higher than the R. In such a short distance, that is a huge difference.

    You can only fit one dead body in the Lambo's boot though - fail

    It doesn't need to store them though, it chews up whole entities and spits them out as a glorious note and fumes

    What, don't tell me you are trying to stay off the smokes while waiting for your car to be given back. That's a double whammy of withdrawal symtoms. One at a time man, one at a time. At least you'll get to enjoy one of your addictions again soon. Hehehe!

    Hehe!! No worries, I was going to tip my hat to you if you were going through both pains at the same time. Won't be long and your beast will be home!!
