It's the best way for a sports car's door as it's less prone to being sucked open and ripped off...

          stop it!! he loves the car and has spent WAY too much taking a perfectly GREAT car and turning it into a monster (tackful huh? which way did I mean monster!!) monsterous!! or a hideous monster?

          I love the S3, you go drive one and decide!! but that work is not to my taste, not at all. I admire the cars doors becuase he dares to be different. 320hp from a chip, wow, that's a lot!

            The steering wheel looks like its melted!
            Not my cup of tea, but each to their own. Thats why I drive an Avant and others prefer the Coupe.

                    Found a similar "waste" of a Civic - although the Civic wasn't much to begin with!

                      He must be an educated person who knows exactly what he is talking about, seeing that he has spelt:

                      brakes = BREAK'S
                      Porsche = PORCSHE
                      Knob = NOB

                        I think the profits of stormloans would be better spent on exiting the grubby terraced home neighbourhood........
