Hi everybody, I'm finally back in a Passat after a couple years away
For anybody who's interested in what I've been up to...
I previously had a standard Passat Sport 1.8T. I had this remapped and stupidly I thought I could drive it like a race car
Because of this I blew a few turbo's and kept replacing bits of the engine until I couldn't afford to keep it.
I then started driving a Ford Ka whilst I was saving for something nicer to drive. I drove it like I stole it and it never missed a beat.... Still a dog poo car though!
I then got myself a Citroen C4 VTS which later became known to me and my family as the Shitroen. It was pretty fast for a diesel but my old driving habits kicked in and guess what...
I blew the flippin turbo on this one. It cost me thousands to put right as I had to change the turbo, pipes and injectors etc etc., I got rid of this car asap!
This is the only picture I have of this car as I only had it 4 weeks

Since I seem to have a heavy foot I went and bought a Peugeot 206 GTI 180. Such a fantastic toy, probably the most reliable car I've ever had(probably because it has no turbo) but I can't keep driving it due to the rising cost of petrol!

Since I've been away I also got myself a little project to slowly do something with
I always wanted a golf so I chose a Mk2 16valve GTI
