RE: Scirocco running 12-13 sce 1/4 mile

Yes thats what i mean - I was just to lazy to write it ;-)

Those damn Impreza Turbo's are everywhere here - I see at least 5 on the way 
to work every morning. My best mate has one and a couple of other guys i 
"know" have them too.
In fact most of our Police forces have em too!!!!

I see Sti's, WRX's, RB5's, P1's and all the other multitudes (Tesla's or 
something like that) all the time
In fact on Sunday i got overtaken by a pair a WRX's who were clearly racing 
(I was doing 95 at the time - single carriageway - sunny day - clear 
road)and they went by me lick i was stopped having a pik-nik.

In fact i personally think that they are more common than BM 3-series et al
