Defonaatley. I put fuel in my car, and I'm convinced it goes that little bit further. ________________________________________ For we are many.PS£ ID: Monkey369 |

I clean my car and I think it seems to pull smoother. Maybe the dirt was weighing the Rallye down...________________________________________ Cherry Rallye '99 - Sold |

My 6 would always run smoother, growl better and pull better just after an oil change. The difference was night and day to me, she loved the fresh oil! ________________________________________ ''Oh, it does handle like a golf!'' Why drive a Golf....when you can drive a GTi-6? |
