      Don't let your girlfriend/wife (whatever ) drive it man! I have a 100, I lend it to my girlfriend and the second time she drove it, she got a speeding ticket

            Cool, the version with 130 hp is especially nippy ...

              Yeah of course, but you can get one more easily with a 100PK and I can only imagine how fast you can get one with a 130

              The problem is, you don't even know you're driving too fast (in comparison to my old car anyway )

                  You can get a VW GT TDI 150 now, if you can afford the insurance...

                    Have you ever driven one with a TDI motor

                    AUDI TDI rules
                    only compareable to
                    picture-quality of Matrox-Cards

                    Overall they're much faster accellerating due to constant high torque from below 2000 to >3000RPM.

                    Only at higher RPM equal volumne gasoline enginge can catch up if you go e.g. from 0 to 200.

                          You can chip the 130 to 150 or more for about £400.
                          (seen some car mods with a switch so you can select what program you want of course the insurance company may care a little, but you know you can always pass emissions for the MOT.

                              Sorry, but I think that the TDI engines from VW and Audi are completely the same. One concern, one engine
