1 x mint condition. Lhasa Green MK2 Golf Country - Austrian Registered

1 x super tidy mk2 3 door. White with Martini race team stripes


And about

2.545.000 x untidy and ugly mk2s (turns out they are still the most commonly owned and driven cars on the eastern block ... All the Lada s are broken or dead)

Saw a silver MK3 VR6 at the Birkenhead Football Club on Saturday after my game, DRKxxx or something.
Nice and clean.

Thanks, that was me. Not a VR6 though.....16v GTI. You play for the club?

Not Birko, Glenfield. We got thumped 4-0 so the best part of the visit was spying your car lol.

White Aventador near Auckland University at about 3:00pm - just coming out of a meeting and it hooned past....my sainted uncle Fanny...that thing sounds evil with it bark and crackling, popping down shifts. Mi piace molto molto in effetti....

I must have just missed it as I was walking to britomart at the time.
I spotted on high street yesterday afternoon a brand new white M5 and a Silver R8 with some exhaust work down on Shortland Street. Guy was giving it some stick 2 taking off.

Stopped by Fast 4s earlier in the afternoon and test drove the RS4. I love how brutal and raw the car feels, but I just don't fall in love with it at first drive like how I did the Scirocco. 

$46k with 117ks on the clock, that's a lot of car for the money.

Brutal and raw are interesting terms. I would have used neither for the B7! Unless of course it's got a full non res exhaust, then it sounds raw and brutal.

Compared to the few other car I have driven, the RS4 does feels that way. Perhaps I have just never driven similar cars except for the S6 equipped with a 5.2 V10 - now that is something different.

[zyeffur]

Spotted a slammed B7 RS4 Avant w/ aftermarket exhaust. Man that this is sick!

[RS ZWEI]

That crappy sliver Mk4 Golf with the monster wheel arches in Browns Bay, what a pig of a car, bog cracking around the wheel arches.

Also in the last 3 days I spotted 3 different G wagons.

[DAPPR]

Black MK4 VR6 in black, same as mine.
EUExxx on Eskdale Rd this evening.

X5 and RS6 in front racing each other on the over taking lanes. Good fun to sit back and watch

Someone spotted me on the western in a charcoal jetta with widened steelies? Gave me a wave as he went pass.

Candidate for supercharging!

Must not be white.

White vans are the quickest things on the road.
