I think every single person on this site knows of PTMW. Have the police ever stopped and if so do they ask about the cars name?
Pretty famous car.

Never driven one of those although I have driven a Calibra Turbo and I found there seemed to be massive friction from the 4wd system.I reckon if you put the Calibra in neutral at 60 it would stop faster using the friction in the transmission than any Impreza would with the brakes hard on.Thats only a very very slight exageration mind.

By the way the Polo is the definitive fwd car. Integra eat your heart out.

Ye Polo Gti,how come you have 650 posts at a Subaru site but you drive a Volkswagen?What engine is in the car out of curiousity? 1.6 16v??
And since you have a VW is the turbo in the new golf only a low pressure turbo?

Most will know I'm on my 5th Scooby in 3O months. Yes the Polo has a 1.6 16v which does a great impresion of a 1.0 and yes the Golf does run a type of LPT. Easy ECU remap to 195bhp though

Terzo 301.

Puff, looks like your tracking needs a tweak mate. And how do you negotiate speed humps with that ground clearance?

great looking car....definetly feels a lot faster than a standard UK model, and the guy I bought it off reckons he beat his mates WRX
PTMW - great pic of your car .....but how much was that 30" wheel/tyre combination
