Silly little swift. Kinda feel sorry for the poor bugga in the Lamborghini though, I certainly understand his agitation at these little gits in their tarted up runabouts with big nasty stereo’s. It must not be a nice feeling to have someone want to ram you. (An accident/ramming even Suziki vs Lambo is not something you want to be involved with).

I’m pretty sure if I could read cyrillic that it is saying WTF – When did they start a show called Pimp My Truck. Well they might not have, but we do have the crazy japaneese truck enthusiasts for these interesting creations!

I may be picking up “only” a 2.0 TDI tomorrow, but these ad’s for the Golf GTI are simply awesome! I highly reccomend you take a look. (requires flush – ick).

It is powered by a 1500 CC engine hooked up to a 5 speed manual gearbox.

I rate this car as better than walking, but is the single most uncomfortable car I have ever had the misfortune of attempting to get into a driving position. This needs some serious work. The seats are too high, the clutch action is horrible and only activates right near the limit of the pedals updward motion. The steering wheel has rake adjustment but desperately needs reach.

If it were not for the air conditioning, I would be in tears over this thing.

Good points – it does seem light on the fuel, steering is excellent and its brakes bite well.

If this car becomes the Mitsubishi Evo X, I could see myself in it. Photo’s may not show material quality, build quality or generall “feel” of a vehicle, but the previous 8 and 9 have been sweet machines. This X Concept is sweet as!

EDIT: Mirrored some of the piccies here.

I am referring to the rear wheel driven non AWD Godura(Godzilla)/34 aka Povvo model version here. An Audi “S” is fitted with the quattro system and some wonderful electronics from the mad scientists who ovbiously inhabit the labs at Bosch, oh and the fools at Audi take all this cool kit, grab a normal car (S3 is derived from A3, S4 from A4 and so on) and shove all this wonderful kit into it along with a rediculously specc’d engine for the car.

What this means in practical terms – well your rear wheel driven car will have some issues in the wet namely tail happiness on gear changes, also your car is not really all that more powerful than mine, and unlike you I dont have a big head that demands I must cut other people off to ensure that they stay behind me and then proceed to box someone in on slow moving traffic. This gets annoying after several repitions, and means that I will look for an opportunity to get past you when one presents itself. Another thing, the availability of my torque (the stuff that means my power that gets to the ground) is available in the big fat power band and I can pull like a steam train in third, whilst laughing my arse off at your antics whilst you need to wrestle with your gearbox trying to keep in those 50rpm or so where its actually doing something other than making excessive noise from your recycled milo tin of an exhast. Attempting to launch with rev’s in the wet for your vehicle is not something I reccomend, I am able to get my power to the ground and be happily sitting quite some distance infront of you watching each gear change as you seem incapable of putting power down smoothly. (This i am quite against as it is not safe to do on public roads – if you wish to drive like a moron – go to the race track – mallalah perhaps?)

And a last thing – roundabouts in the wet – watching you understeer in then oversteer out is just scary, as I am sure that you would be mostly happy to blame me for your personal failing as a driver and I would be labeled as the hoon, please dont try to keep up with an S series car again.

Should you see an RS branded Audi car. Crawl under your doona, suck your thumb and go to sleep for you will kill yourself should they not be as happy as my to ignore your foolish antics and decide to take you on.
