    My dad just last year gave me his 2005 TT Quattro roadster for my first car. It's a blast to drive and I am truly inspired by this video

    It's lovely. If you're saying that's 500 horse or over then it's damn shame you didn't do anything but merely tickle the throttle in the flybys :(. You should of at least given her a 2nd gear blip!
    But saying that, you can also tell people that respect their builds. You can tell that took some effort man. And you respect the car and the car respects you back. The time taken builds always show!

      @OpinionatedMonk Před 4 lety +3

      It would be heavier and so the weight would outweigh the benefit.
      Plus, the servicing and labour and parts would = twice as expensive to run.
      Keep it 2WD; faster, lighter, and cheaper :-)
