Yeah, if they turn up on foot, look out.

Awesome looking car! My Dad doesn't want a DSG GT TDi if he gets one, even though they are technically better, the manual is just more fun.

Well I managed to clock up just over 400 klms on the w/e and the fuel gauge is still reading just under 2 thirds of a tank

. I haven't been thrashing it but not playing around either. This beast is absolutely amazing

, if I had been driving the XR6 the way I have been driving the GT Sport it would have been reading empty long ago I'm sure . This is like having the best of both worlds, heaps of grunt and fantastic fuel economy to go with it.

I'm lovin' it !!!!

On another note, when I was talking to the salesman yesterday he was telling me that some guy rocked into the yard a couple days after I left the XR6 with them as a deposit (about 4 weeks ago) and wanted to take it for a test drive. He was apparently dressed in a nice suit and tie, very business like, showed them his driver's licence, they photocopied it and off he went for a test drive. They found the car a week later only a few K's away minus the wheels. He said that the car itself looked as though it had been vacuumed and washed and everything else was untouched, the guy must have been a couple sandwiches short of a picnic (or maybe not

) he certainly did alright out of it, if he was the one that knocked them off that is. They suspect that he thought the car was his but then suddenly realised it wasn't and thoroughly cleaned it and then drove it and parked in a nice quiet street a few k's away and left it. The local hoons

probably took the rims.They were only standard BA MKII rims, although it did have brand new tyres

. They apparently asked the cops for help and it was like "well you gave him the keys what do you want us to do about it" so maybe there is a message there for anyone selling privately as well ( don't let anyone test drive your car on their own) The car yard sent a couple of the boys around to the guys home address and some old lady (probably his gran) tells them that "he know live here no more" enough said.

I'll stop there !!!!

hell yeah you made the right choice.

my mate was potentially going to get a job in berlin- he told me on the way up to buller one day that he'd take a pic of him in berlin, with a new sport gt tdi and send it to me to make me envy him.... i told him that if he did that, i would rape him.

im not gay, but for a car that sweet, revenge-rape is something i'll make an exception for lol

Yeah, well, Ok !!!!

I don't know about committing rape over it but you could probably smack him about a bit and tell him he's a bitch or something, it kinda has the same tone about it.

i know we're all passionate enthusiasts, but can we keep it relativewly clean please? i know my little bro browses the forum (he's already a dub nut at 13) and i'd rather he didt read that kind of thing.

cheers
