Mate used to have a Sirocco GTII, FUCKING RAPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Remember going to Knockhill racetrack in it for a hothatch day. I was in the back. We were on the winding country roads with other traffic making our way there. I noticed the car in front of us (peugot Mi16) had been the cover-car in Max Power (car magazine) the previous month. SO my mate decides to give it some sport. Both cars floor it!
We are coming up to a T junction where we have to stop and give way - traffic is already Q'd up (prob about 3 cars). The guy in the Mi16 thinks fuckit and goes onto the wrong side of the road and just takes the junction like its a corner without stopping - My mate follows.
Theres a straight then a 90 degree lefthander before a long straight before the entrance to Knockhill.
We took that 90 degree lefthander broadside (and if you dont know what 'broadside' means, its when the drivers side of the car is facing in the direction the car is travelling!).As my mate gains control of the car and has it moving and facing in the same direction, we look to our right to see a police car with 2 policemen looking completely bemused with what they were seeing.
We were probably near 100mph as we zoomed past in hot pursuit of the Mi16.Used to be a bit of a boyracer when i was younger and have been in many a dodgy situation like that - but that really was the scariest thing ever, being broadside at that speed.
So, yeah - Sirocco GTII's mental lil things!!

Volkswagen has released the first photos of their Golf VI GTI Studie that will be shown at the Paris Auto Show next week. Although labeled as a "studie" concept, what you see in these photos is essentially the production version of the Golf VI GTI. Exterior changes are obvious with a completely new front end, fog lamps located further out, dual exhaust tips now mounted at the far ends of the back bumper and an overall clear attempt to make the Golf VI GTI look wider and lower. The new HID headlamps are really unique with loads of detail and an all-new look.
The German press materials mention a 22mm (.8 inch) lower stance via revised suspension calibrations. The suspension itself retains the MacPherson front struts and multi-link rear setup. Claimed horsepower is up to 210hp on this new model, however we suspect that it won't feel much different as the Golf V GTI 2.0T was already stronger than the claimed 200hp. Six-speed manual and DSG transmissions will be available. Volkswagen's new Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) which varies the shock absorber damping and compression rates electronically via a switch on the interior will be available as an option on the German-spec cars. No word on availability for U.S.-spec GTI models.
