Focus ST or Golf GTI

Not VXR, looks aweosme, but ive driven one, and Golf was more impressive overall IMO.

I ment RX8 mate I love RX7's,mabey thats why i always say that

Cossies are out the question,her words not mine.Remember this isnt for just me,its for both of us to get about in.I've plans for another Coss later.

Evo would be great,just a bit dear

Golf and Focus ST are getting the nod's of approval from her
