I get lots of enjoyment out of my mk6 2wd. It has an exhaust, de-cat and modified air filter box. Slightly drilled by my d.i.y self.

They can catch a few cars out. I was following a Golf ED30 (220bhp roughly) from work just before Christmas, and the owner commented that he couldn't believe I was with him to 130 ish. A better driver would have done me, but he said it wasn't bad for an old car. I say 130 because my speedo said 140. Got to compensate for the old clocks, eh.
Edited to say that the Golf owner works with me and has had a couple of blasts with/past me. Golf sounds good I must admit. Bet it wasn't as twitchy either.
