Hmmm, they actually want to see a good savings record, and with the interest and depreciation on the vehicle you have probably lost $20K in savings !!.......BUT who cares you have a good car that kicks butt and is very nice to drive :cool:


trickysimon - June 6th, 2010 at 08:46 PM

Well I hav a good savings record anyway so either way :yes:


STIDUB - June 6th, 2010 at 11:27 PM

oh and about that subie thing, come to the darkside :D we have water AND air, usually pressurised :yes:


trickysimon - June 7th, 2010 at 08:30 AM

Meh I have one of each now, so I can choose to either beat you with AIR or WATER:lol:


trickysimon - June 10th, 2010 at 10:31 AM

Getting raped at the bowser!
$85 to fill and the last tank only lasted 560kms and half of that was on the highway :lol:
Can get the digital reader up to 50L per 100km if I floor it :crazy:
Got its first service with me yesturday, alot chaper than I expected at $250 (inluciding some small things that needed fixing)
The price you pay for speed :lol: :rolleyes:


STIDUB - June 10th, 2010 at 05:28 PM

beat me with air or water? pffft, to the petrol station maybe :D ill stop at one 200km down the road, fill up, have something to eat, then wave as you come in to fill up as i leave haha:lol:

whats your 98ron worth on average?


trickysimon - June 10th, 2010 at 05:32 PM

I think it was $1.42 or somthing last night when I bought it.

I hope the word "you" was used loosely there and not directed at Dave.... cause, I think you will find you wont...


beetleboyjeff - June 12th, 2010 at 10:54 AM

Aren't they just the nicest car to drive. My missus has a 2005 V5 2 wheel drive with tiptronic - goes like shit off a shovel. My son-in-law has a 2002 V6 Passat with the 4-motion, but his is tiptronic. I reckon the V5 is a little more responsive off the mark, but they both go bloody well (on the rare occations that my wife lets me drive it).
I find that the adaptive learning (or whatever it is called - adapts the engine management to your driving style) means that is takes a little while for the Bora to ramp up to my driving - it just seems to get better and better (my wife is quite a conservative driver). Maybe that is is one of the reasons why she won't let me drive it much. lol


JVLRacing - July 4th, 2010 at 08:15 PM

201hps ready to boot!....:cool:

A subaroo for grown ups


trickysimon - July 4th, 2010 at 09:51 PM

Hahaha I think you have the wrong person. Certainly wouldn't call me a grown up.
Hence the last fuel consumption I acheived out of the Bora: 298kms out of a 62L tank.
Roughly 20L/100kms :lol:


Ben386 - July 8th, 2010 at 08:00 PM

Nice one kid.Enjoy Syncro.(or whatever you wnt to call it)
