Got a lift home in an Evo 8...

[gareth_oau]

Hiya Scott, I've found a car feels slower when I'm a passenger than when I'm driving. could that be a part of your perception?

(ps, how was the snowboarding this season?)

[Greg Roles]

Well said Scotty, I too have to wonder why people driving VW's have to bicker so much amongst themselves. Sure an EVO ( and many other cars in fact ) are faster than any VW, but for me, no EVO / Rex is fast enough to escape the stigma firmly attached to it. I guess it's a Gen X thing...

...and that for me was the decider.

Just last night, had some P-platers in Commodores trying to get to me race them, i.e. tail-gating speeding up slowing down etc. all the while I had the little one in the back asleep in her baby seat....and although I was looking at an EVO X as my next car, not anymore I'm over it, and glad to see something different in my driveway for a change.

hey guys!

it could be, gareth, although to be honest despite how bad ass my cousin's s15 is, and even though ive never even been in anything like it, it was very mild compared to what i was expecting. ish, the way some dubbers on here positively humiliate the cars they spend so much time and money on, you'd expect a camry sportivo to absolutely annihilate anything short of the race spec scirocco.

and gat dangit- the snow was HORRIBLE this year. the number of days i went up and it was literally pissing down rain. it took the park diggers 3 weeks to build the 2nd jump on the summit park, and the day after they finally complete it, it pisses down rain all day. poor bastards. made me re-evaluate my need to go to buller next year. not a happy camper.

how was your season? how was shredbo?

[Swallowtail]

for people who supposedly part of a community, you guys sure know how to rip on each other sometimes.......

Unfortunately, maturity is not a pre-requisite with the ability to own a car, join an internet forum, and type on a keyboard...

[Buller_Scott]

lol it sorta makes me wonder how the hell all these group car pics in the banners managed to get taken in the first place.....

cos the real dubbers rarely come on here and get dragged into the bollocks that goes on between keyboard warriors.

Funnily enough, I havent seen any of the loud mouth trouble makers at any of our meet ups. Or you for that matter Scotty my boy

[WABIT]

lol.......



who gives a **** what we drive, its all the same **** really..... you dont like how fast or slow your VW is, buy another ****ing car! it shouldnt take me to figure that out for you guys

have a good day

[Preen59]

Hahahaha nice one Dom.

By the way guys, i have no real personal preference for any make of car really. I just go with what i like, and i was only pointing a few things out. I don't really care if i offended some people but i am sorry if some of you took it the wrong way, but as most of you that have actually met me know i'll say everything to someone in person that i write in text.

The VR6 is a nice car and the (mk4) Bora is in my opinion the best small sedan VW have made, probably the best price vs quality you'll find and very reliable.

I'd NEVER own an Evo or anything similar. It's not worth the trouble. Hell, just the afternoon i was driving in from the lake (in my CADDY), passed an illegally low Laser with a car load in it (they were swerving all over the place, slowing down etc.. Pretty bloody dangerous really). As soon as i passed them, hello they're up my arse and when i slowed down for the 80k zone they flew past me clearly out of control.. Fcuking d#ckheads.

[paolob]

ive been in my mates evo8mr and that thing is scary fast!
when we went through putty road on one of the uphills i was leading then saw him coming on the lane next to me, i dropped down two gears and floored it and he still passed me! i later found out he left it in 6th gear because he didn't have time to downshift lol
But i took him for a ride in my car and he goes i'd take a stock evo easy

[Greg Roles]

... hello they're up my arse...

Situation normal eh Preeny?

[MattyT]

I'm with Dom on this, if you want a fast car, go buy a fast car. VW's are comfy, sort of classy, slightly-quicker-then-usual cars from the fatherland. Not much else too em really.

you guys seen that clip on youtube ''last 2 minutes of life'' ? pretty shocking stuff........

re evo's/ sti's, as revered as they may be.... i'd still prefer a worked mk6 gt tdi WHEN it comes out.... with good ole manual shift and NO DPF!!!!!
