My god, you lot don't half talk some shite

Went from 'I drove an RS' to 'hump back bridges'

Yeah, it was a turbo (would be a bit sad if i was this excited over an RS1800)

It was wicked though, nice to have fast boost under your right foot, like a disease it is i tell thee

Can't wait till the turbo astray is done I'll be on boost 24/7

Well the rear discs were fucked I felt something through the pedal, but wasn't sure if it was a bearing or a shitty discs.

Turned out to be discs, so they've been binned for new ones
