Now gone but not forgotten. The car was sold two days after it was put up for sale in July 2010. I now drive a blue Golf mk4 R32 DSG. I've named it R32 BlueMotion.
It might be a little late to start a progress thread about a car this age. Anyway, here's some pictures.
Car is a MY00 Leon 20VT with 115000 kms on the clock. I bought it in 02 from a SEAT dealer. Back in those days one could still buy a SEAT over here.
It's my only car and daily driver. Not that I use I daily, I live in the capital and use the Underground to get to work, if I don't work from home.
Over here cars are extremely over-tax'ed, about twice the UK price. We've also very strict rules about power gaining. Bottom line, it's not allowed unless you pay even more tax and get it to pass something similar to the MOT. (but way stricter) One example of Norwegian stupidity, I can't put on a Brembo Big Red kit, because it's not offered on the car from the factory. Doesn't help if it's done properly and are much more effective. The majority of the car enthusiasts pay no attention to these rules.
The list below includes about every little piece I've changed over the past seven years. As you can see, I'm in no rush.
More text later on.
