Title: I may have a small problem
Post by: STMO123 on 02 January 2008, 18:39:30
Wifey had said NOTHING about my latest purchase. Her ZT is on a '51' plate and, although still looks a stunner, is getting on a bit. I just cant afford another upgrade right now. Gulp :o

V8 ZT, now that would be a beast, very cheap considering the performance too.

I may have a small problem

My responce was ... yeah you bought a sodding astra!!  ;)  ;D

Yeah but you can get the W8 here, and it's a 6-speeder too. Although quite possibly the 3.6 is also a 6-speed, I know most of the TDi are these days!

VW's 4motion all-wheeel-drive system will also be available with the 3.6 VR6 and would be a worthwhile addition to ensure getting power down effectively, particularly if you live in a snowbelt region.

It's an option? :o

Life wouldn't be much fun with FWD, "snowbelt" or not, especially with a limiter at 135. Would barely have stopped wheelspinning by then ;D
