G60 Information

I noticed through the logs that a lot of people came here looking for the G60 Info page that i took down. Maybe google will work that out soon. Meanwhile heres the g60 info that I took down.

Not sure how I or dubforce managed to pick this document up, but its a really interesting read. I hope I'm not treading on any toes by sharing it.

Welcome to the 2nd installment of Germanic Goodness, courtesy of influential club VICC. These guys own a broad range of dubs, and have employed a wide variety of styling cues that have to be seen to be believed.

New Daily Driver

Well, I did it. I flirted with the idea when I bought the Nissan. But I couldn't find the car I wanted. So when a clean as you like MK1 GTI came up for sale locally (well, up for bids!) I watched the auctions final moments. The reserve was set to 1300 but the car only made 510 and the highest bidder was a local lad also intent on a little go kart fun in his daily driver. I took myself over to check the car out and though I wasn't insured and didn't get a drive i was hooked instantly.

Sure, I think I'll change the rims once I've scrubbed the tyres down a bit, and I might even take that Original 3 Piece Zender rear spoiler off as i think it psoils the lines, but its perfect. Light and quick, not too thirsty and not too slow to warm up in the morning. Welcome to Vinnie!
