well the newer mk6s are rated by ps (bhp) eg a 100t280 will be 100ps so if its power you need look for a higher number 125 is the highest in mwb to my knowlidge :D

You cant beat twin side loaders.

if your doing to be lugging weight i would recomend RWD.

Isnt the 137 available in MWB :?

your 80 would be the equivalent of a T260

1980 A Series crew cab
1984 A series RB44

Shame on you Luke, you could even get it on the SWB like the van one that went round the Nurburgring.
