As I started a new job, I had to sell on my 620Ti. At the point of selling, it had red band injectors, an S166 Turbo Technics unit set at 17Psi. Needless to say, it was a hoot of a sleeper. But, New job, more fuel bills, then an issue with insurance meant I couldn't have it anymore... Mind you, would also stop the clutch bills almost each month!
SO. What to do? had to get something a bit more reliable, economical... A friend of mine had a Skoda Fabia VRS, which I was impressed by. I've spent most of my car time with British stuff, Rover, Mini's and the like, So had never given a thought about VAG. So I dived into it!

Not to mention the funky towbar. Money is short coming and so is time. So things have been slow, but in the space of about a year, I've gone from what you see above, to :
