Even if that is you g60. 2 things spring to mind.
a)you splashed cash to buy a modified car to show off with.
b)you get upset when people don't give your modified car the "respect" you seem to think it deserves.
You're not really coming across well there. More small minded muppet with a complex who drives badly, than driving god.
If you were trying to make an impression that made you look good.....you failed here. Just so you know.
Not after making an impression or looking good to you, that's not what my opening post said... Dont really want respect, otherwise I would not have a bog standard looking Mk1, I quite like the sleeper aspect of it.a)you splashed cash to buy a modified car to show off with.

It has just amused me for an hour to see how much of a hornets nest can be created by hinting diesels are not the second coming!
Funny how it's always the fanboyz, with there tuned cars who go on and on, and on, and on about this sort of claptrap. My car is just a steel box that moves me and my family around when we want to go places, and it happens that in the real world, a diesel is a nice solution to effortless long distance transport.......
(and besides, my other car would have your little golfie for breakfast around a track......;-)

Your 1st post was basically:It has just amused me for an hour to see how much of a hornets nest can be created by hinting diesels are not the second coming!
Attention w
eDon't try and pretend otherwise. It's all very "I'm great but why do diesel drivers not know this. Look at how great I am and how low they are".
I think I mentioned the quality of your character showing earlier...

Had one about 10 years ago when I made my user name on various sites, although it was not standard then.
Have a 400bhp Mk1 golf, running 4wd now so slight under the 8.3 0-60 times, by about half actually!!! But love peoples assumptions.
Daily driver is a sluggish 350z GT4..
That'll explain why you only bought said G60 last year, according to the Corrado forum.
OP was meant to say;
I wanted a G60 ten years ago, i finally bought one a year ago.
I had promised myself an MX5 five years ago and finally bought on last year.
Nothing to be ashamed about OP but please FFS do not be economical with the truth here, PH will rip you a new ass.

Virtually every time I go out in the car, and someone wants to take you on, its ALWAYS some clown in a Turbo Diesel.
Virtually every Diesel owner you talk too, also tells you that a diesel engine is better because of the low down torque etc.....
If they are so convinced that they are so amazing why-o-why do they drive everywhere trying to prove their point.
They kinda remind me of the little guy in the pub who wants to prove how tough he is!!!
And even if you do rise to the bait, and give them a lesson in "more than 5000 RPM", when you slow back down they are back all over your bumper, like an angry wasp round your head!
I await the barrage of diseasel owners quoting 300lbft of torque at tickover!
I have to be honest, despite some angry posts following the above I have to agree to a certain extent. I don’t think its so much Derv drivers trying to prove a point though, more like they are all in a rush and don’t have to drive like Miss Daisy to save fuel.

Glad that someone kinda sees what I mean, and I apologise profusely if my wording made people think I am being nobbish!ts though and do hang off my bumper weather I am in my WRX or the wife’s 1.2 Polo and often when I am overtaken in a rather inappropriate spot there is often TDi written on the back of the car!Imp not saying the above OP is all fact but I can see some of the thinking behind it.
Its another sensitive subject..
Never discuss
1. Religion
2. Politics
3. Diesels pros (and especially cons)
