we've just done the petit (i think) bernard route a few months ago. Absolutley incredible all round there, and whilst it is a lot longer than the tunnel it still dosnt cost you as much and the views are staggering. Chamonix is awesome aint it!? Also the tunnel is about 55 euros in case you were wond...

Too true!
Its fun when ya just sat in traffic in it so 60's a right buzz!

it was one that i was looking at buying, just wondered if it was a good idea to buy something that had been tampered with. Anyway too late now! Bought it last week! Took it for an 800 mile trip at the weekend and apart from being pretty slow it seemed awesome. anyone else got a diesel? are the suppo...

Hi, just wondered what the general thoughts were on putting a 1.9 NA diesel golf engine into a t25? (Apart from the obvious speed issue of course)
Are they meant to be fairly reliable engines? are they pretty compatible? I dont have much idea about stuff like this as is probably obvious!
