    I did the biggest controlled drift in mine on the way to Wombeyan Caves on a steep downhill right-hander, it was the best controlled drift I ever did :)

    You can’t be serious - I filled the Golf up the other day and it was over $100.

    Unless your 355HR was already 50% full it couldn’t possibly have been only $120.

    82 litres, and $1.75? Wow!

    That’s cheap. Can’t remember the last time I paid less than $2 for BP98.

    Having said that, I don’t think I’ve ever filled up the tank in my entire 12 years of ownership.

    Why? Along with having a fat bastard at the wheel and a slower gearbox that unnecessary weight certainly makes it heavier and slower than my car.

    I never fill it past half way. Lighter and always fresh fuel.

    Siphoning fuel is good for my lungs and the people I get it from wouldn't enjoy it as much as me :p

    No, the cut-outs are at the edges, to allow air to hit the disc brakes, but the earliest ones might not have had it. The oil cooler mod, where the vertical edge of the panel is folded down horizontally, is one of the the (many) things to spot if you suspect a replica...

    Ahh ok they came in 65 with an angled bar in the front and folded lip on the inside to allow for a horizontally mounted oil cooler and disk brake cooling…Basically the first of the 1275 S cars…The 970 S and 1071 S never had them..Also standard the 970S and 1071 S were single tank cars unless you ordered the optional extra second tank..1275S were standard with twin tanks…
