Yeah performance cars are expected to get some abuse from time to time, I must admit I never drove the Polo hard simply because I was afraid something would go wrong that I couldn’t afford to fix. My Type R is a different animal all together and that actually likes to be abused so it would be rude not to oblige :)

As long as you look after them they won’t go wrong

They don't need to be driven hard most of the time. Although I did most of the way back from Wales just because I was excited 8) .... then got tired about 4 hours into the journey so slowed down lol

Now, i'd rather cruise at a normal speed so people can appreciate the car :D

Ben, the Civic is lovely! I've never been in one though

Yeah I totally agree Mandy :)

The Polo gets so many looks when your in 30 zones it makes you want to slow down just for them to admire it lol
That's probably what I loved most about the GTI, they get looks everywhere they go with most people mistaking them for a Golf

If we ever manage to arrange a proper UK Polo's meet i'll have to take you out for a spin in the Civic Mandy.
Its pretty tacky inside compared to the GTI and looks strange with the gearstick on the dashboard but its a great car to drive and sound lovely

Yeah, I think any 6n2 looks nice even just with coilovers and wheels done. It's the shape of them that I love.

And I definately want a go in your car! We will have to sort a ukpolo meet somewhere for the summer. I don't mind travelling, wherever it is i'll just make a weekend of it 8)

Yeah we need to sort something out, location is going to be important too though because we are all scattered across the UK.

Be good making a day and night of it though, maybe stop at a hotel and we could all go out for a meal or something?
I'm open to suggestions lol. Probably be a waste just to meet up in a car park for an hour or two then go, especially if people are travelling far.

Ideally it would have to be somewhere a little more central

Best discussing this on the Meets & Events Section though, dont want to clutter up Mandy's build thread :)
