just thought i'd take a moment to say how amazing it is driving a G40

just took it out for a quick petrol run, and just on an uphill road which splits into 2 so that ppl can overtake lorries and such

there was a slow car in front so i just put my foot down and flew past him then found a suburu in front who was going at a fair pace so put my foot down and flew past him

now to be honest he wasn't pushing 100% because he would have beaten me but it's soooooo great to have a quick glance over and see that suburu driver's stunned face when he get's overtaken like that by a car which looks like it'd struggle to 30mph

mmmmmmm i love it

Take it you bought a G then?

Sounds like a fun car to drive... any pics of the new beast?

yep, tis definetly a fun car to drive

...maybe not the most fun to maintain but i'll ignore that

looks to be in good condition...

what are your plans for it? or is it a matter of just enjoying it for a while instead

to be honest it's already been tuned to 159bhp so far from standard with 0-60 in about 6.5 secs, i'm not interested in molestering it with body kits etc so i'm just gonna restore it, keep it clean with just a few toutches here and there

p.s nice to see someone from post mk3 being interested Haris

Yer keep it old school and clean mate looks awesum. 6.5 Thas Shocking

that car did a 1/4 mile in 14.6 seconds at santapod. and could have gone faster.

G-smiles indeed!! glad ur enjoying ur new toy Adam!! i remember the first time i had a ride in doug's! i was totally blown away by how fast it was!!

6.5 from a 1.3 8v lol. I wish the GTI could do that

i'm happy sacrificing my power steering, airbags, quality speakers, electric windows, air con, sun roof, errrm pretty much any safety features or any resemblence of luxury for the abilty to go that speed

mmmm, can't imagine ever buying a newer car
