The VX220 running *hopefully when I add the NOS* 350bhp / tonne in Porsche Mexico Blue running a Larini full exhaust system looking like this...

Needless to say there is something about being stealth that is fun!

Wow, love it! If it lose enough weight to fit in one its certainly on my to try list.

Thanks

I have had some big lads sat at the side of me in the car before, makes gear changes interesting but depending on your frame you might be surprised sir!

For me it'll either be:

Passat CC on air ride and some wheels, maybe wrap in colour

or

Audi A5 with a similar idea

Just need more space for all my kit when away, and yes I'm a younger member, instagramers know

Went to a Volvo C30 2lt Diesel, i bloody love it!

Is this the 140bhp engine... if so, how you finding it?! Did you go from the Furby vRS to this?

When I first bought my vRS, it went back to the garage to change the clutch and DMF under warranty and they lent me the R-design 2.0 diesel version and I test drove the crap out of it! I left with only 500 miles on the clock and returned 5 days later with 2k.. (Reading to Bristol to Amsterdam and back)

The thing is, I really liked the cabin, driving position, stereo dash and the general look of the car but found it pretty gutless having gotten out of my vRS and into the Volvo, but put that down to it being so new?

Just wondering as fancy one of these to replace the missus Honda Civic as our sensible car (then may need to find a not-so-sensible car to replace my vRS )

Yeah it's a better car all round mate. It's the 136 engine but its as quick as my fabia and that was mapped. Ill be mapping the Volvo soon but its definately on par with my vrs for performance in my opinion. The torque is lower down so its comparative really I guess.

Mattie i love those volvos!!

Gonna join the crew and add pictures

Will almost definitely be an EK9.

I thought it should be as quick as the Furby but wasn't and was surprised to be honest.

Shame she didn't like it as much as I did :(

Same as me but I swaying for the a5 3.0tdo Quattro just because of looks. Good choices!

Will almost definitely be an EK9.

Had one for 4 days with b18c6 teg engine with s80 lsd

Rolled it 5 times

Will almost definitely be an EK9.

Dream car but realistically they are too old and too much money.

if i could afford a weekend car it would be right at the top.

I moved onto a BMW E92 335i, 306 bhp, 295 lbs.ft.

Jeez - both VRS's have now been sold!

One gave way to a 330d for me and our other one has just been traded against a Kia Sportage today!

It would have been nice to see how many miles it would of done as it currently stands on 190k but something bigger was required!

Is that an e46 330d? Been looking at them recently, should make close to 300bhp with a few basic mods and a remap, also bigger, more comfortable than the vrs and rear wheel drive ;-)

I can't wait to drive my step dad's E92 335i when I go to NZ in June!

No - E90

No - E90

How do you rate it?

Fast, smooth, planted and 36-42 mpg - what's not to like????

Oh yeah - utterly useless in snow!

Really?! what mods do they need for that?

I promise you won't be disappointed, the handling is so well balanced and its got more than enough power to keep you grinning

I really can't wait! Shame their speed limit is 60mph. Oh well

He's got a Polo GTi with the 1.4 TSi engine too.

Really?! what mods do they need for that?

Bloody hell that is good value!

Yes, 330d looks very tempting, just insurance may be the problem, paying £500 atm don't want to know what it'll be for a group 16 car!

FWIW, my e46 330d sport is about £800 atm to insure. In constrast, my POS Golf GT TDI cost more to insure! The Golf was also more than my RX-8 to insure too.

Gearboxes/clutches are the big weak point if you take these to big power :(

Edit - that policy was started when I was 21, with 4 years license and 3 NCB.
