    people also exaggerate the vr6's fuel consumption. i've had 37mpg out of mine and it reguarly does 32mpg on a motorway trip cruising at 80mph. i'd say that was pretty good for a 2.8. it's only bad if you cane it everywhere.

    I heard people can't park VR6's on their drives, huge crack marks appear in the paving under the front wheels

    i *******ed mine all evening lastnight, did a trip to woking, 190 miles, still had 37mpg on the clock

    average, per tank, calculated using the amount of fuel put in and the miles done on the odo, i get 34mpg across a whole tank, every time

    If you owned a VR and an 8v you'd be sorted. Just drive them on alternate days.

    Monday> Take 8v to work, make ripples in the tarmac all the way there arrive all windswept and interesting.

    Tuesday> Take VR to work, flatten out all those ripples left by the 8v :lol:

    But you need a 16v to be in the secret ABF powerhouse of FURY gang and to just be generally cooler than everyone else?

    Sticky this.


    End of. :thumbup:

    Pete, I have 16v of the KR variety, less beef content than ABF but very lean. ;) And nearly 100% RDA of FURY!!!

    Debate closed.

    We concluded that there is no place on the road for a 1.4 cl or a turbo diesel mk3. We'll allow chavs to have them to put bodykits on then crash them to be broken up to supply spare light switches for GTi and VR6 owners
