It is actually a mid mounted (exactly the same as the V6) 6 litre twin-turbo W12 sending out 641hp and 553lb of torque. In a Golf...! I think it will remain a concept but you never know if VW will tone it down a bit and slot a V6 instead into it. Could be interesting... Here is the official VW...

Have you guys seen the W12 Golf? How about that as a successor to the V6... :) O.

Here is a post I put up on ClioTrophy a while ago for a fellow member.... It was about buying a new car or using the money for a deposit on a property... Warning to j.jack: if you don't have codeine to-hand you'd better stop reading here! ;) I don't want to be responsible for the increase in...

Fair enough although you don't see the colour when you're driving it... :) The Boxsters seem to hold their value OK but the pre-facelifted 986s have really lost ground to the facelifted 986s and now seem to be sitting at less than 40% of the original purchase price. The smart money has to be on...

Lol... I've got some spare codeine if you want.. ;) O.

Who says my house is on mortgage? :) Assumptions my friend... If you re-read my post you'll see that what I suggested was the cheapest way to finance your car if not paying outright... O.

Your mortgage can fund your car; your car can't fund your house :) Plus, you'll struggle to finance your car cheaper than on the back of a mortgage... Although when the mad market will slow down is anyones guess. Madness! :clown: O.

Hehehe... I think I've contribute my years worth of personal opinion so I will keep quiet now. :quiet::quiet::quiet::quiet: Also worth pointing out that the comment that got me going was the comment by fuel_slut - not the original poster of this thread who I know can buy the better car! :) O.

Cheers - I am happy the post didn't come across the wrong way. At the end of the day it is the same thing for me. I really wanted a 996 when I bought the Trophy but I was in the middle of a house purchase. The 996 was out of reach, or 'not worth the extra money' (i.e. it has an opportunity...

Completely agree. V6 vs Trophy is another topic altogether, but 172 vs Trophy is not. V6 vs Trophy is like WRX vs Evo: different things to different people and purel subjective. It is not like 172 vs. Trophy which is more akin to 996 C2 vs 996 C4S. Although V6 is a two seater car... ;) The V6s...

It's very simple: you can either afford it or you can't. If someone has £12k to spend on a car I doubt they'd take a 172 over a Trophy. It is only because they can't comfortably afford the Trophy (as in having spare cash to buy and run it) that a justification is made to have a 172. At the end...

What I mean is that there are two 182s on this particular dealer's lot - a FF and a Trophy. There is a thread here about that very particular Trophy, but not the FF. My point was that, yes, they are similar in price but the Trophy is bound to sell first. The fact that there is a thread about it...

Lol I would hardly call not being spotted as being unlucky! ;) Although it would have been nice. The closest I got was a person who literally cut me off on a roundabout so I could not go anywhere, and then proceeded to take a picture of the car, give me the thumbs up, and then drove off...

Which kind of proves my point. The Trophy has obviously drummed up more interest as there is a thread here about it. There isn't a thread about the 182FF though, is there? I'd also bet my bottom dollar that the, more expensive, Trophy will sell before the 182FF, despite the FF having more...

That was mine... I sold it two weeks ago. I think it is currently reserved but from my last knowledge is still with AllVehicles (who I sold it to). I had it for two years and never got spotted and now it is spotted it is not mine! Oh well... Cheers O.
