UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi everyone, I'm back after a long while... This post is to present you the third generation of VW's South American bestseller, the Gol. It slots below the Polo in VW's current Brazilian lineup, and it's unlikely that you'll ever see one in Europe. But I'll post about it anyway. :D The Volskwagen Go...

Well, here it is, the first car to be built from the next Polo's platform. Again, it's the Fabia. This time, though, I think it looks ugly. I don't know. There's something not quite right with the proportions. And the rounded front end doesn't quite match the rest of the car. Ahem. Anyway. I don't k...

Thanks!

This site is more focused on mkIV-mkV Escorts but I think it'll do... Any other suggestions please let me know!

Hi all, been checking some old (2000-ish) magazines and I've noticed that high-end Fabias come (or used to come) with a pretty handy in-dash drawer (complete with what appears to be one of those smooth, dampened VAG opening mechanisms) that sits right below that car's radio. That got me wondering if...

...especially in a VW forum and being asked by a current Polo owner, but can anyone point me to a good mark 3 (early 1980s) Ford Escort forum/site/club? Ive been googleing but all that comes up is a bunch of Polish, Czech and French sites (that fact alone probably says something about the cars). You...

I work for a press and PR agency. It sucks and I'm also looking for a new job, so I can definitely relate to everyone here. :P Even better than trying to find a new job though, I'll try to have my master's degree project approved in late september (cross your fingers everyone!) so I can go back to u...

Hi everyone,

The Register is running this article discussing the feasibility of the alledged plot to bring down transatlantic planes.

Interesting take on the subject, and it coincides with what I've heard from some knowledgeable people I've spoken to in the days after the incident.

Dude, does that mean he'll have to pay Her Majesty compensation for her dead deer?

If you hit a person, I'm not sure how it works in the UK, but over here in Brazil it's always the driver's fault and you're fully responsible for what happened ( even if you happened to hit a suicidal maniac, you're still the stronger party - sitting in a ton's worth of metal and plastic, etc.). As ...

That configuration will be fine for your usage, but I recommend you get 2GB of RAM instead 1GB if you have plan on running Windows Vista. Vista will be a huge resource hog, with a lot of usele.. oops, new features in it. You don't need 'hardcore gamer' memory, 667Mhz is the spec to watch, 2x 1GB. Yo...

Ah, world cup time is the same s**t everywhere isn't it

Make that a blue circle on top of a yellow rhombus on top of a green background for me please.

Well the Fox looks roomy for the segment because it wasn't really designed to be a "sub-B" car like the Lupo. It was developed in Brazil to sort of replace the ageing (mkI 1980, mkII 1994) Volkswagen Gol, the VW supermini for Latin America. I say "sort of" because VW kept selling...

This is probably old news for you guys too, but last month VW launched an estate version of the Fox, called SpaceFox. I've been meaning to post some pictures since late march :oops: but finally, here they are: http://www.photopile.com/photos/baberuthless/fox/251319.jpg http://www.photopile.com/photo...

Not true at all - we're all propellerheads as well as gearheads here or we wouldn't spend so much time online... Hehehehehe

Wow! Tablet PC? With the whole swivelling-and-twisting-monitor thing?

Cool... What model is it? C'mon, cough up the full spec.

(and BTW I can't think of someone who'd enjoy a tablet PC more than Tahrey, given his taste for freehand Windows Paint drawings...)
