Hello! This weekend I just picked my car up from having the 3.55 gears fitted, (the place that fitted them is over 2 hours away) and was driving it gently home when I got stuck behind a queue of cars behind a truck. I sat there for a while not able to overtake, when I noticed a silver car weaving in and out of the traffic behind me. I knew that we were coming up to two long straights so I waited, he ended up behind the car behind me as we approached the first straight, I dropped to third and floored it and I saw the Golf swing right out with the nose in the air, but as I went past the truck and changed to fourth I realised how much I was beating him (I hadnt tried the gears in anger!), when we reached the next town I had to pull in for some petrol and I watched him go past and I noticed it was a V6 4motion model, they are supposed to be quick, guess it made me realise how quick "quick" is!!
