It's been sometime since our Mk2 Golf GTI has had a mention, well last week I recorded a short video explaining what the plan was with our Mk2 ABF conversion and how far we'd got. The video shows some footage of the car and explains what we've managed to do, and what we hope to start in the coming weeks.
We chose the ABF engine route as it's a strong engine with great specs and pretty much is identical in resemblance to the KR 16v, the only difference being a 1cm taller block.
Hope you enjoy the video and watch out for Part 2.

Looks like we can look forward to 36 episodes over 3 years, well that's initially, however the BBC are now probably a little sore after the estimated slump in revenue and not to forget the loss of over 4 million viewers within a week. That's now behind the guys though, not only have Clarkson, Hammond and May moved, but so has the Top Gear producer Andy Wilman, and in addition the team have been given carte blanche to create their own unique car / antics motoring show. When are we likely to see the new show? Well it's looking like 2016 and that's globally, kind of makes sense really. We can't wait to see how this new motoring show will make it's marque :)
Update:- Wilman who quit over the incident involving Clarkson and the Top Gear producer, has announced that Clarkson and co will start filming this autumn. Originally the clause in the BBC contract prohibited Clarkson and co form creating a new show for a UK broadcaster for 2 years, however the clever team have sidestepped this by signing a contract with amazon Prime, who are not beholden to Advertisers - great news
It's all about the sound...

Due to the new EU regs last year, all electric cars need to be "heard" - a good thing when you think about it...So it got me to thinking.
