Dutch is not so much a language - more a disease of the throat.
New Kids is a Dutch Comedy on Nickelodeon - based loosely on 4 wasters from Brabant - sorta like the English equivalent of benefit scrouger stereotypes, complete with mullet haircuts and tracksuits.
2 movies were made on the back of the series.

I think I quite like Scooter (guilty secret)

Suspension time
Finally managed to get out in the car for a little run I was hoping that with using a s70r as a daily the gul wouldn't feel that quick but it certainly does makes the S70r feel very slow but one thing I did notice the standard suspension is just way to barge like.
The main problem I have is I still want it to have a good ride quality so that's ruling out coil overs as I don't want to spend over 1k on kw what's people's opinions on b6's also what springs you using as ide like to keep the same ride hight but I'm guessing R springs at this milage are just way too soft.

My Gul rides b6s and lesjford springs, poly'd engine mounts, ally wishbones polyd with meyle hd removable ball joints and strutbrace front.
It's a brilliant ride, not soft and sporty but not crashy.
Koni yellow's on the other same poly's, which feels a bit more sporty but still perfectly ok every day, on eibachs
I had koni str.ts which i put on the laser and whilst not as sporty a massive improvement Over the standard worn rubbish, total bargain as well £250 a set new.

I had koni yellows and merwede springs. Didn't like the ride quality.
Friend of my has D2 coilover on his s70. It it sooo much smooter. Another friend has also D2-s on a mk3 supra. And thar rides beautifully as well.
I would go for Coilovers if I were you. Not the cheap ebay ones..
945 T6 in progress
Hi Pete,
I see yellow towing-eye on my car, whereas yours doesn't. I can't tell from the picture why, because it's a bit too dark. Is there a towing eye cover or something I'm missing?
Also, the lower centre grille, is that an individual part, or is it the vertical vanes which are part of the undertray moulding?
Cheers,
Mark F

You can still buy the towing eye cover from Volvo, I bought one a couple of months ago for my 850.

Holy s41tballs.
After seeing it in the flesh at York I knew you'd put a lot of work into the Gul Pete, but I didn't have any idea it was as much as this!
Just read from start to finish and I'm in awe.
I've been thinking about a Gul for a long while, but after seeing yours I want one even more and have decided to start saving. Babies don't need clothes, right?!
Top, top work Fella.

Lol cheers pal and yeah she's certainly had some major work.
Absolutely over the moon with how it turned out and how she runs well worth it.
Ide always wanted a gul from first seeing them but once ide passed my test I couldn't afford one and ended up getting the green t5 I used to have so all good things come to those who wait.
And na kiddys will be fine lol
