Quote from NSX_FReeDoM :Anyone got an experience with VW Golf 1.4 TSI (160bhp)? Or brand new car in general..

I guess Autocar doesn't give a city estimate to compare with? G!NhO's right too, they always skew the numbers in their favor. As for 28mpg, that seems like an Ok stop'N'go number to me, especially considering what I've seen of Hong Kong roadways/traffic! Also, congrats on the purchase! ..time for pics.

Quote from ACCAkut :I arrived at Brünnchen, took out the camera, turned it on, was greeted with a "Camera Restart: Lens Error" and that was it. And both of us have old phones with 1.1 MP cameras ...

Haha, gotcha.. & don't feel tooo outta place about your phone. I've got similar & finally attached a giant letter J to the back. Decided if everybody could have Smart phones, i-Phones & whatnot, I must have a J(unk)-Phone. Also @ the minivan thing.. dunno what you were driving, but I'm sure it was at least as deserving of a pic!

Quote from Scrabby :...I just can't seem to understand why the VW dudes like those setups so much...

It's Ok, I can't wrap my head around this silly poke and/or hellaflush stuff, myself. (other than maybe the ability to look fast while sitting still, for some of it ) For me, form follows function & IMO, the result tends to look beautiful. (in terms of cars I mean of course) I guess I prefer noodles though too, haha.

I see.. so you do go pokie for the visual, Scrabby. (rather than for better function I mean)

Quote from Scrabby :...It's not just for the cools, those things actually all have a reason.

Interesting.. though still, I've seen drifting on your awesome level, (from similar cars), without going to such extremes. (both technically or visually)

Quote from Klutch :Different setups work for different people, everyones driving style is different

From the self professed, (and video proven), reckless driver.. But yes, I do realize everyone's driving style is different etc. I doubt it really warrants such extreme camber tho. (unless one learned to prefer said setup because they wanted to look "cooler" in the process, as well as destroy as much rubber as possible while doing so, lol)

Quote from Scrabby :Haha, Cameltow

I didn't pick up on that one till it was pointed out.. LMAO!! dadge

EDIT - Scrabby, if ya see this I've gotta ask, do you really need sooo much camber up front? I'm not a drifter so maybe so, but I can't help but feel I've seen some pretty epic drifting, (at all speeds), from cars that didn't look like their front suspension was broken.. (I know the dangerous & silly sidewall stretch isn't required, lol)

Quote from DC2 :mine ...

Looks pretty good.. that said, and everybody's got their own opinion, but I think a car looks better when the bottom line flows from front to rear. So many people seem to try & make their car appear lower than it really is by sticking a front lip/spoiler on that's way lower than the rest of the car though. (almost the only visual change I'd make to yours) Not only that but it just means it'll get scuffed and/or damaged more easily. My .02c, not that ya asked for em.

Quote from Klutch :I edit mine out, simply because the australian government love to use video/pictures as evidence to confinscate vehicles for reckless driving...

Quote from danthebangerboy :looked under my car the other day, and both chassis rails are down to bare metal where it constantly bottoming out has worn away all the paint/underseal, the exhaust has taken a fair amount of grazes too... oh the joys of fully adjustable suspension.

While I don't recall your particular ride, (so may be wrong), it sounds more like the joys of the "needz moar l0w" crowd..

Quote from DeadWolfBones :Nice stuff. Where are those mountain shots from? Glacier? Tetons?

Thanks & back 'atcha. It was a killer road trip, (top-down the first 1700 miles!), that took me from WV to Phoenix & back. The mountain shots are from the CO Rocky's, (where I'm thankful to have family). Got a bunch more great shots I thought about posting, but refrained since they were from my car, rather than including of it.

Here're two, (crappier), reflection shots in my dirty hood & a couple mountain snaps, just because. (all taken holding the camera over the roofline)

Quote from kappa007 :...*WARNING: Image is massive, may take a while to load...

"Massive" doesn't cover it.. the thing's 11098x7915. Nothing even show up here unless I zoom in & then the bottom half never loads in. (I've got 10mb down) Why not downsize & post like the rest of us? :rolleyes:

Quote from BlueFlame :...Some cars it's possible with a dash/centre console button/switch but also some cars can have both ESC and TC disabled but it requires a software tweak to fully disable it.

What a bunch of BS, and something I'd be looking into altering even prior to taking ownership. (if I had that much prior knowledge of course)

Quote from BlueFlame :Obviously the traction control is for those idiots who floor it when in precarious situations and wreck. Those idiots ruin it for all of us!

What, ya can't turn it off?!? (and if that's the case, there's not a fuse/somewhat simple solution?)

Quote from KiRmelius :I wonder if there was a paid witch in Moskvich factory to curse all the production, or was my car cursed somewhere else...

Ouch man! I feel your pain though/have had similar automotive days.. sometimes you just gotta surrender & hope the next works out better.
