I was just reading a certain thread and was thinking.......

1. Don't have to wear silly gloves to fill the car with derv.

2. Don't cause the car driver behind to switch on re-cycle to breath

3. Don't have to talk about mpg to justify owning a diesel

4. Don't have neighbours that want to kill me every morning

Only kidding diesel guys []......

now I must start a poll how about how far you don't get on a tenner.....

[CHR15]

ouch...3. Don't have to talk about mpg to justify owning a diesel

 

[BlahBlahMan]

Your all mouth and were all torque.

 

[MikeTDI]

to get anywhere near our chipped torque figures you have to buy the IHI conversion.

 

[sutherlandm]

...but standard torque of a TDI is ONE yep ONE ft/lb less than an R32 [] []

And we don't stink.

[Franko180]

Well we all have different needs, I don't work for a recovery firm so I dont need 500lbs of torque to tow broken down lorries, my needs are more of a high revin' nature [^]

Speaking of which, I took out a colleagues Cupra R the other day, very nice for a thrash []

Pah figures, schmigures []

You go side by side with an R32 with less torque than a chipped 150 and see who wins []

True, a friend of mine ran his MK3 to uni for 3 years on kerosene from his parents central heating [:O][:O]

Before they cracked down on emissions testing, obviously [)]
