VR6Steve

Very nice indeed. Makes me very envious when I look down the side of our house at the wreck of my Oak Green 16v. :-(

The look is spot on. Nice going.

I've not been on since just after your mishap at the 'ring. Really glad to see you back on the road with a VR. Glad your old car went to some good use. Enjoy!

dr_slian / Ian - Tell you what would be fantastic and that would be for you to share your plans with the show going public as they progress? That way you could get some feedback before the event? I for one would be interested. People say you could not get bargains from the traders. I know for certain that I saved a few quid on the bits that I bought. :-) Food - If you don't like it, don't buy it and take your own. The other half and I do, as we know its never cheap. The bonus side is it leaves you more money to spend on bits! People moan every year, but they never think to take something with

My other half has Avon ZV3's (?) on her Polo G40 and hates them. I had a similar model on my standard VR wheels and don't think much of them either. In fact they actually went out of shape and had to be replaced. The standard 15's now run BF Goodrich's and I quite like the handling etc. My TT Comps have Pirelli P-Zero Nero's on. Only been on a few weeks, but they seem ok. Just need to turn the key in the shocks to a stiffer setting before I give it a real good go.

Very nice, Dragon Green is THE best colour :-)

Absolutely lovin' it.

Matt - just be glad you were in a golf and not some tin box piece of rubbish. Hope the driver of the Mondeo gets kicked by the law as he duly deserves. Get well soon. You could do worse while you are laid up than to plan your next project, as it looks like the Mk4 was coming along quite nicely.

If you feel the urge to spend more money on it, I believe Pitstop Developments / G-Werks have already done some tuning work in the Cooper S. (6)

Well my story started back in '92 when the first Golf VR's came on to the market. I was about 20 ish and working on service reception in a VW dealer (actually it was definitely a STEALER!). The boss had himself a brand new J plate demo. I think I was allowed to move it a few feet one day and that was it me smitten! You got an instant sense of the power. Then about 4 years ago a mate that works at an Audi dealer took in a dragon green 3 door with decent history for a very fair price. She has been with me ever since being very slowly modded. :-) Steve

Very nice job and a vast improvement. Looks loads better without the rust too! :-) Why are Mk3's so prone to it? Mines the same. :-(

As many people seem to regard the old TRL venue as the best place for Inters, may be a return to complete hard standing may rekindle some of that fondness and nostalgia?

Shane - Thanks for the feedback from the organisational side of the event. Bruntingthorpe is such a huge venue that I gues it could be difficult to work out the best way to use the space. Is the runway not big enough to accomodate the show and parking? Hard standing for everyone? Goodies and food for sale round the edge and club stands/show & shine in the middle. Steve

As Rich above, mine has the pipe pulled forward a bit and the secured to the brace. It was already on the car when I bought it about 4 years ago and not problems at all.
