4Motion v/s snow

[John.T.]

I've just been out in my 4Motion around Derbyshire in the snow, what a wicked bit of kit.

I normally use my Discovery but thought i'd venture out and see how good it was.

agree it's a fantastic bit of kit

Purely in the aid of science it is important we test the behaviour of such vehicles when provoked on wide, open, loose surfaces

[John.T.]

I'm selling it to buy an 'R32' so i had to test it, i simply couldn't sell something i didn't believe in or have faith in.

[chr15b]

mk 4 or 5?

[John.T.]

A Mk'5' in blue or silver, deffo not black though.

lol, black ones are faster

[John.T.]

Hahahaha we used to have this debate on the Honda Blackbird forums.

I want to avoid black purely because i have owned a few black cars now and i feel like a funeral director.

[chr15b]

haha, often i wish i'd gone for a deep pearl blue one, that was what i was looking for, but this one came up at a good price and it was such low mileage and so well looked after that i'd have been daft going for a blue one.

it looks stunning when clean.

what i like about it is it blends in, to none car people it's a black golf, fits in everywhere, but to people who do like cars they know exactly what it is.. means i can visit customers without looking like i'm showing off.

[John.T.]

Thats what i like about my BORAT, its quite subtle in a way. If i was keeping it i'd do the rims anthracite grey to tone them down a bit....its all wheels right now, quite a focal point and i like descreet.

MK5 R32 whilst not a missile is a lovely thing to drive, we've a gorgeous grey one in stock I had a little go in the other day.
