New Scirocco

Range Rover has two live axles :-p

Alfa 75: 1631mm wide, 1349mm high.

Makes it 0.82:1

It would look *tiny* next to a new Scirocco.

snipped-for-privacy@italiancar.co.uk (SteveH) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

Look, guys... If we're going to be boasting about the ratio of width and height, can I just say that you're all amateurs?

Thank you.

We're talking cars, not personal physique....

I am approximately 500mm wide and 1940mm high.

I was about to say "But you've met me..."

You will do just fine, be outside my house tomorrow morning and we will see how you perform on 10.5miles with me piggy back. :-) At the mo anything is better than the 3 cylinder chuffer I now own. :-( 172k ain't bad for an alloy head and iron block. Hell when I got it I expected I was going to replace the turbo every 50-60K miles so twice in last 95K miles but it was still making 12psi until last sat.

I can feel a MHG upgrade coming on. (OMG a near OT post in ukrcm) There's a head and inlet plenum on the living room floor and a turbo and exhaust mani on the kitchen floor from a 65K mile scrapper. Just got to remove cams, tappets, injectors and separate inlet mani from head before taking it to get it skimmed and I think I'll let them re face/seat the valves too.

You can't tell him he's not allowed to like the looks dude, it's not up to you.

I saw a black one on the road just near the ring when we were over there, it looked pretty good in black. I don't really like the look of them in blue at all though.

I think I'd take the Golf over it though, white, 3dr, 18" Monza upgrade, full leather, DSG, massive list price... I think they look great like that :-)

I never liked the old Scirocco even when I was little, my mates neighbour had one that he reckoned was rare, dunno if it was, was the later shape of the original ones and I always thought it was too pointy. I way preferred stuff like, the 205 and older Beemers of the time.

Nissan 910 1.8GL Bluebird wagon (estate)

Looks like the E30 is a whole inch more stylish than a Bluebird and it shows BMW did pay attention to things like a low roofline back then.

Width 1764mm Height 1420mm

So the new Scirroco is nearly as tall and long as and wider than what is essentially a large sports saloon rather than a "small" sporty car.

My rangie had them front and rear. That was "interesting" with the 3" lift and no steering correction.

Satin Black, pimp tints, slammed, 20s, dish, camber, but I'll go with the leather, DSG and all the options.
