I'd still choose the south  :wink:

But only for the weather :smiley:

Can't argue with you on the weather. I have a lovely view over the mouth of the Tyne from my house, but it's so windy most of the time. I did get sunburnt last week on a walk through the South Shields riverfront.

You sure that wasnt someone trying to firebomb you  :wink:

well I am in St. Albans today, its like 22c, just a shame im in an office and not outside working on a tan :smiley:

No, I didn't quite walk to Jarrow before getting on the Shields Ferry back to North Shields.  :wink:  :grin:

Gave her the detailing treatment over the weekend, coated in SiRamik SC15 Surface Coat.

Looks good mate, I have just picked mine up with its SC15 Surface coat and the looks driving back. My 2 favourite shots

Suffered from my first Audi envy moment when I saw a new Q3 tonight with a weird animated rear turn indicator.

I hate those cars but that indicator was so damned cool!

That looks superb. Really tempted to buy the Mrs one of these when her PCP is up on the Audi A1 S line in a couple of years. I've always fancied the carbon grey, it would be a great excuse to get a GTI back on my drive.

It would break my heart though seeing my Mrs scuff those lovely diamond cut alloys on the GTI though ( like she's done in the Audi to the Rotor diamond cut alloys  :sick: ).

You need some double sided tape and four of her favourite things (shoes/hangbags/teddy bears) and tape one to each wheel before she leaves.

She'll take a bit more care if her Jimmy Choos are in the firing line!
