Got spanked in a drag race!!

On my way home tonight I put my foot down in my trusty Golf GT TDI up a local dual carriageway, only to see a RRS in my rear view closing fast.... Ha!! (I thought), I have one of those and I know it can't go that fast!!

Mistake! I got totally left for dead!!

It must be a S/C right? Nope, it was a TDV8!

Now I want to part ex my TDV6 for the 8!!! Argh!!!! Missus will kill me!! Thumbs Up

Oh would of thought 8 speed would be better for perfomance and smooth power delivery?
