 |
|
Heres an interesting new vehicle.
http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/news.php?newsId=4490
I used to own a MK1 Scirocco, that was race prepped.
The MK1 was lighter than the golf/rabbit, and had the same fuel injected motor.
If you can get hold of a MK1, and fit a 2 litre turbocharged motor, nothing will get near you.
I could lift mine up at the back, squat lift, clear 1 foot off the ground !!!!
I kick myself for selling it, had no idea how light it was, compared to other cars of this category. |

Looks like it came out the opposite end of this one...
It's also how the Touareg (which we know as the Cayenne) is made.

Yes. I guess it could be considered "innovative" to use dog sh*t as an engineering base... not necessarily good, though.

Whats this, 924 reverse psychology ?
924 owners bitching out a VW because its not really a Porsche ?

about as innovative as using a whole continent as penal colony(base), you should be thankful your not driving a wheelbarrow, to carry around your ball and chain  |

The gayenne is just a waste of space (and a considerable amount of other resources).

OK, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense..? I was being sarcastic, in case you didn't notice. On the other hand, it was pretty innovative to use an island as a penal colony.
Sticking a Porsche badge on a VW truck is boring... at best.
Boring like that green thing at the top of the page.
