    It's the 240bhp 1.8T Quattro Sport, the limited edition light weight one. So that means easy to chip & get more power out of Revo chip, exhaust & down pipe & Forge DV will be added soon so that should get the power up to about 280bhp. The 4wd is certainly useful in this weather but unfortunately my back seems to not like the Recaro bucket seats though.

    Pfft, I know which show and I claim the Civic as hush-money.
