max_b Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 not sure if it was a press car sporting 1* VW as the number plate taking the same journey as me down the m40 yesterday, and then on my return journey back from sandhurst saw the same vehicle heading back northbound!

CabGirl Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 I think 18ME said he was testing this one recently... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18ME Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Yeh, I borrowed that for a day. Its Listers own car in Stratford which is for sale at £56995. Nice car and loaded with about every possible extra but not worth that IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max_b Posted March 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 martin, what the power of that beast like? it was being driven fairly sedately when i saw it but i bet the pull between gears must be fairly aweseome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] It feels a hell of a lot quicker than my 3.2 petrol and with around 750nm it pulls in gears like its a 1 ton sports car not a 2.5 ton tank. Incidentally they are de-tuned from 1000nm of torque because the gearbox can't cope with that sort of power, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
