          a way too small back window, trunk and back seat! not cutting it for me!

          Yes, yes, and yes.  That said, those were not even close to being the most irritating features.

          what else was there?…

            A friend of mine went to work for Lamborghini and pulled  up with this one afternoon. That day I flew it around the block, the next day enjoyed a few hours of spirited flogging…Oh My !

            He called to extend an invite to a private prerelease showings of its successor the Huracan. It was on display in a studio in SF. Cell phones were held at the door. No photos ! I told him I'll fly anywhere to drive it, Maybe this summer.

            madmonday's retired….I'm just tired.

              This was my old GTI. I put every bolt-on part imaginable on this car. I wanted it to look nice, but not like I had dumped a bunch of money into it to make it fast. It was a sleeper. 350 whp. That's a beast of a VW.

                    Nice. Bring that beast over and we go fast on the Autobahn!
                    What about the sound?

                      Stock paint job. I washed it a lot. That picture is from when I lived in Hawaii and it rained every day. I had to keep the car clean or the water spots would be horrible.

                      The sound. Oh…... The sound. 3" catless exhaust, after market intake manifold, big turbo, exhaust manifold, and some big 500cc injectors. That car was a serious beast.

                          I used a clay bar to maintain the finish. It cleans the impurities off of the paint.

                                  04 wrx is one of my favourite shapes..  Go the scooby.

                                    I agree.  Go with the WRX.

                                      yeah. i'm starting to go for the WRX, only concerns are maintenance and modifications, which i figured will be quite high for the beemer than the WRX.

                                      moving to perth in a couple weeks so yeah, cars are way cheaper than singapore, where i am now.

                                        Mods and maintenance are the hard part with affordable Japanese turbo cars.. Bit there's always exceptions if you can hold out for the right one.

                                          seriously??? i wouldnt have expect that considering i see quite a number of JDM hardcore fans there. i mean if with dont compare them to aussie made cars of course.

                                          cheers!  😃 which part of oz are you from? (presumably eastern states?)
