Post by: tony_danza on November 24, 2008, 10:31:46 am: LOL - just an in-joke with TC, he calls me "that Tony" I didn't mean it to sound like I was going to be naughty.

There's some interesting stuff I've been reading on here, so I've joined to pop in every now and again to see if I can add any useful input.

Cheers.

Post by: tony_danza on November 24, 2008, 11:20:12 am: Hey fella. Not too bad mate, you?

Yeah, went to the first person who saw it and for asking price - credit crunch-schmedit crunch. You'll not have a problem shifting yours either.

You after a 170 diesel?.. get a GTI, they cost no more to run!!

Title: Re: Oh, surely not?
Post by: madman on November 24, 2008, 08:41:20 pm: hello and welcome that tony :happy2:
Title: Re: Oh, surely not?
Post by: tony_danza on November 24, 2008, 08:49:59 pm: LOL @ MarkyD.

TC I'll get some fresh pics up when it's back in road-mode, some things have arrived from the States I'm waiting on and I've had chance to put my private plate on.

It's a CW 56 plate 3 door DSG with basically everything except leather and Nav... for the future, the RNS510 will be sorted soon enough but brakes are the next on the list - toying between APs and Alcons. Pie in the sky, I have the part numbers for the Interlagos Recaros, which may get ordered one day, if I can stomach the bill.

Mods so far:

Autotech ARBs, Eibach coils (changing these for Bilstein B16s), WALK, ECS dogbone, non-res Milltek, Bluefin @ 245bhp/280ft-lbs, LED tails.

Good to see you on here :smiley:
Title: Re: Oh, surely not?
Post by: tony_danza on November 24, 2008, 08:59:14 pm: Cheers, it's a track slag at heart and I love every second of it - it's just such a rewarding car out of the box compared to my MKIV Anni, and will only get better.

Thanks for the info Mike. :wink:
PS if you can make it to the meet on Saturday i can show you what the recaro seats are like in leather. :wink: Also i thought the interlagos recaro's were not available any more. :confused:
Title: Re: Oh, surely not?
Post by: tony_danza on November 24, 2008, 09:11:08 pm: I'll see what I'm up to, but thanks for the invite.

I do love the Recaros (and I'm jealous of yours for starters!).. and they can be ordered if you know who to ask. The seats are common to a few models and fairly easy to pick up, you just have to special order the covers from Germany.

Post by: Top Cat on November 24, 2008, 09:16:37 pm: Happy days :happy2:

It would be good to see you at the meet. :driver:

Title: Re: Oh, surely not?
Post by: tony_danza on November 25, 2008, 08:50:20 am: I'll see what I can do, I'm on the lash in Liverpool on Friday night - so will make a call based upon how I'm feeling.

I can't be bothered reading 20-odd pages, can someone give me a brief rundown of the meet?

Title: Re: Oh, surely not?
Post by: tony_danza on November 26, 2008, 11:51:04 am: Resorting to bribing me now eh? :wink:

I want to come, but obviously I can't drive until I'm fully sober from the night before - I'll do my best not to get carried away.

BTW, I'll be at the MKVs.net K-K meet tonight if anyone's about?

Mike.
