...ok, it's a VW up! GTI. What? Who's laughing? Some quick shots from today: Love the rims! ;-) Have a great day, Ron ...
Ok, if you REALLY want to know that:

110 hp in a Smart Roadster ... nice. I remember my friend sold his roadster to a young lady, she was so happy with it, she saved long time for that car. A couple of months later her jealous ex-boyfriend lighted it and it burned off completely ๐คฌ.
Yes ๐๐๐๐

That makes 250 hp for about 20 km ๐คช. Actually i meant 140 hp in total ๐คฃ.
No problems for the brakes ...

... wouldnโt be the first time i see flames coming from under my wheel arches ๐ฅถ๐ฅต. You be sure to know where the fire extinguisher is located, I didnโt find it at the time ( it wasnโt my car๐) but luckily a friend took his to prevent the VR6 burned to the ...
I must admit i was amazed.

Actually i thought i was still being gentle on the brakes .... ๐. Imagine my face seeing flames on both sides coming up half a metre above the hood ๐ฌ. Afterwards my friend told me i should have let it burn in order to have the insurance pay it back ๐คฃ๐. ...
The real modern GTI

Relative lightweight, not too heavy. Hp to weight ratio of the Golf GTI series I was 7,6 hp/kg. Yours is coming close. Have fun and allzeit gute Fahrt! Regards, George
Not sure ...

... even though the tyres are โonlyโ 195 mm wide ( which is considered very small these days ๐ฅบ) i doubt VW allows you to fully deconnect the traction control. If you want to do a mega burnout all you need is a 85 hp , 810 kilo French box with 165 mm (scre...
Just had some major reviosion done.
By: bimbeano : August 24th, 2020-14:29
Brakes, brake lines, swingarms, exhaust, rear axle, joints etc are changed / refurbished. I must admit it feels more solid now. Also fitted new tyres last year.
LOL

Actually we sold the Panda ๐ฐ, i loved that little car. Instead my daughter bought an Enzo.
Performance wise any new car can be called GTi
By: bimbeano : August 24th, 2020-14:19
Since it took the first gtiโs nearly ten seconds to reach 100 kph. The trick is to make a relatively slow car a lot more fun to drive than a fast car.
WHAT A COINCIDENCE !
By: bimbeano : August 24th, 2020-14:05
Yesterday i searched Youtube on this little Gti ! It sure looks very cool and the reviews are very positive. A far from slow little car with very good looks and a very nice and high quality interior .... hmmmm .... what do you need more ?
