AK350Z Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 It's a mk4 golf in drag. power to weight of a belfast sink, and consequent mpg. Tell her to get an early maxi Mini if she likes retro styled stuff. Quote

MITZ@CougarStore Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 I'm sure I read in one of his posts that his wife owns a Beetle... That sounds ominous, has he had one? Zugara should be able to help... Quote
glrnet Posted March 26, 2012 Author Posted March 26, 2012 Thanks Jim & CS I'll give him a call. Quote
Allan Zada Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 I work for Audi and they used to use that 1.6 in the A3. Couldn't pull your grandma out of her seat. Would definitely look at a different engine. Quote
Zugara Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Cheers guys, Yep, Lisa has one, loves it too bits Had a good chat with Graham, deffo a ladies car, couldnt pull a rat off your shoulder, and has a liking for front tyres, as I said Graham, Lisa's car has been as good as gold, no problems what-so-ever MPG, yes a tad low, 30ish round town, motorway, unsure as Lisa is a town driver. Indy service costs, very cheap, as discussed Jim, you can always put a condom in the vase you know..... Quote
