You know your classics TG

Here's a better use for that big 427 V8.

i found a galaxie but she who must be obeyed said no...

She is such a spoil sport!

Chicken! I'd have gone for the Galaxie and then blamed the sales person at the dealership for getting the names mixed up.

i made the mistake of showing the photo to her first

just found out its the 130 tdi model, is that good?

Yes. Dad's Jetta has that version of the 1.9TDI engine with the 6-speed DSG transmission. The thing's crazily quick and has my beloved, 78 year old Pa taking on chavvie types in their Corsas every chance he gets. So it's official; the 130bhp TDI motor can make old people young again.

He also gets an average 63mpg with it, though a manual car may not be quite so good on the fuel, especially not when it's bigger. But I'd be surprised if it averages far below 55mpg.

Best bit: Thrashing the 'nads off the thing makes no difference, they're good that way.
