Here is a video of my GTI from a few weeks ago!
Wanted to see what the exhaust sounded like but the BMC induction roar pretty much kills the exhaust note 8)

Cheers Matt :) Iye can't beat a good old BMC gargle

Nothing new on the Type R really mate, got the oil & filter changed on Friday but unfortunately it now needs a new front ARB drop link and a New tyre for the rear :( I think I will get it 4 wheel laser aligned soon because the tyre wear suggests it could be out slightly. Absolutely love the car though, really is a fun car to drive and sounds amazing.

Glad to hear that your enjoying it mate but sucks about that. I had to replace 2 bottom arm bushes on the GTi last week as one had torn out. Its so much better now all the work has been done. Any interest in the Polo yet? Im surprised it hasn't been snapped up.

I'm sticking the Polo up for sale officially this weekend after finally buying a new camera lead :)
I was thinking eBay classified add, Pistonheads, clubpolo and a few other VW forums to try and generate some interest.

Be gutted to see it go because I still love it but unfortunately I need the money.

What plans have you got for yours then now Matt?

Sounds like a good plan mate. I would be surprised if it is not snapped up really quickly, but yeah i bet you will be sad to see her go.

Have a few plans for mine. The first thing to do is finally get these new alloys on which should make it look a lot better. Then depending on money maybe a full new exhaust system by the end of the summer. I also want to upgrade the audio in the car. Only thing is money :( I also want to go to a few meets and shows. Hopefully i will be making the long drive up to edition with my mate. Maybe see a few more Polo's in person as i have not really been to many meets. Don't think my car is up to show and shine standards but you never know :wink:
