a 2.8ltr engine in a golf seems like a good idea to me

Im looking forward to rebuilding the s12 though and having it as a weekend type car. It will mean i can get all those jobs that take more than a day to do done easily

HI Pukka,

Good idea buying German but not FWD, you will be bored within weeks....

I bought a Porsche 911 recently as my second car and its much more fun - especially sideways !!
