There's ways of making it quicker though...

 

 

...such as tailwinds, downhill stretches of road, towing it, pushing it off a cliff etc...

To think I almost had a 6K2 Ibiza with that engine as my first car

In the end, it was not to be.

Back then, I was extremely bummed about it as an 18yo eager to start driving

The 1.2 12v engine is better, although wasn't in the 6K2 I don't think. Although the fuel economy is less, it's quite quick off the mark since it's not a big lazy lump, I'm only* 16 "seconds" compared to the 19 of the SDI. 🤣

I was about to tag you and then I saw it was you posting it 

 

slowest diesel imaginable, right?

I had a W reg hatch (bought new), far better than you think, did well over 100k in it, really was sad to sell it, but the VRS version was quicker.

Well, the 6K2 had the 1.0! With its fiery 50hp. I think the SDI was actually faster

I almost got an Ibiza SDI! "Slowest Diesel Imaginable" is mostly an inside joke

those SDIs were bulletproof as far as I know, just like the old 1.9D

Rapid! That'll be the same 1.0 from the Lupo/Arosa in typical VAG fashion.

vRS is where it's at - it's nice, but the PD100 is...

Anyway, plenty bits for VAG fondling (fnarrrr) on my thread instead of us taking up the 'bay tat thread. 😆

Posted for amusement value from the ridiculous advert. Ignore the boring modern. 

Here is "Kiki the Ka" who was "adopted 2.5 years ago" (🤦🙄) 

I'm led to believe @barefootloves* the concept of naming cars and treating them as if they aren't inanimate, so enjoy!

Has a hole in the diesel tank which leaks if you brim it. Lovely, that's safe for bikers 🤦

And the front bumper seems to have had a very subtle* historical paint job

I won't even bother posting the link, can't imagine anyone will be interested in buying it!!

I used to know someone that named every car he owned usually by some obscure  and meaningless combination of the plate letters. 

I love cars and truly believe some of them have inexplicable traits, good and bad, but I don't think I've ever named one.
