New Semi-slick rubber, updated DSG software and a cool dry day on an airstrip netted me this.....

Outstanding  :shocked:  you must be really pleased with the results you're already getting.

Where will it all end?  :grin:

Sod all to the car, mowed lawns instead!

I contemplated doing that. Fresh fuel in the mower and it started second time. Good old Honda, I've not even serviced it in 8 or 9 years. It was still a bit dewy, so I went inside and painted some doors instead. The lawns will get done tomorrow all being well.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Beat you, mine started first time, but it has just been serviced.  You obviously don't show your mower the same devotion you show your cars  :wink:

Back lawns done today, front lawn tommorow.  Monday is car day.
