looks like a great car - the GTI is very good !! I can just imagine what this rides like ? Too bad we won't be seeing it here ..........
Strive for that moment when you're only a slice of pizza and a hooker away from paradise.

The whole story?
The reason we don't get it here, nor does about 20 US states not get it if it is anything like the last generation R32, is it doesn't even come close to passing our emission testing.
For those of you who don't know, the guy we bought our Focus from in BC specializes in modifying the crap (in a good way) out of these cars and they push upwards of anywhere from 400-600whp.
And he got to drive one.
TEAM PITA Don't settle for a wannabe, only accept the real deal.

One day I will rule the world. For now, I have to settle for this place.

I knew I drove one somewhere. Handles nice in videoland.
Old enough to know me limit, yet young enough to exceed it.
