The GTI version of the next generation Volkswagen Golf will receive a more powerful iteration of the existing 2.0L turbocharged engine. To achieve 220hp, there were detailed modifications made to the EA888 engine, including a new valve lift system developed by Audi. Volkswagen is also working on an electronically controlled, mechanically locking differentials for GTI and R models.This guarantees that the drive is still directed to the tire with most grip when accelerating.

'Curry' as a word doesn't actually exist in the languages spok

    Are forums outdated? I try to find out by asking AI

    Is your boss asking you to explore and learn how to use AI to improve the quality and efficiency of your work? Yup, you aren't the only one in that boat.  Whilst exploring new AI tools, I figured: Why not use it to answer some burning questions that I have? This time, it was about whether forums are outdated.

In the words of a well-spoken colleague, this is "where YOLO meets FOMO in an epic battle for your precious holiday time".
