You can do side bends and sit-ups, but please lose that body kit?

Fixed it good.

I missed that one, but agreed. When they came out, I was puzzled to say the least. No real improvements. No bump in luxury or class, and just plain ugly. What a con job!

This is good work.

Unlike Colt 45, this joke does not work all the time.

Good God, no. Old, ugly as sin. And nowhere near as cool as anything AMG put out during the same era - which would be a much better buy.

I want this thing so badly. Then I want to stuff as much high profile rubber under it as humanly possible. Just awesome.

Damn! Goodyear was on fire AND feeling his oats. Fireoats!!

Damn. This is Jedi level commenting.

Fixed?

So my question is, hill starts, how done, and how pulse quickening when there’s something wearing an ARB winch bumper two feet off your tail.

That squidge is the sound of crushed dreams. Also apparently the same sound the XV manual makes. (Just read your review. Quite evocative. And now that car no longer exists in the maybe space in my brain - for which I am thankful.)

I’m holding out for the Golf R Sportwagen, because after real-allroading I just can’t this.

Ha. Fair point.

Needed to be said. I think we need a National Knicker Untwisting Day - probably once a week.
