    That doesn't look good does it? Funny how the Leon TDIs in the BTCC and WTCC don't smoke like that.

    Nope... Rally is about going ridiculously fast on small roads. It's also about spectators being close to the action (as opposed to being miles away from it when watching a circuit race) and being involved with the sport. Backfire, flames and screaming pistions are just a nice bi-product to enhance the atmosphere.

    And by the way, Paul's right. You haven't driven a diesel until you've been behind the wheel of a PD130...

    Masses of torque. I've never driven a diesel like it. It as far as I know, has not been re-mapped or modified in any way (yet ) and it is the fastest car that I've had that can be used everyday. And I do know fast, I've had E-Type Jaguars and even a 6.7 litre V8 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, which was quick in a straight line anyway.

    PD130s can be taken up to 180bhp no problem, which makes it as fast as a 2.5 TDI, but with much, much better economy.

    It's a fantastic all rounder.
