All set up for wild camping in Scotland   :cool:


Is that a Thule roof rack? I keep putting off getting one cos they aren't cheap. However I'm getting pretty fed up of putting dirty bikes in the back of my car.

Just a good clean - wash, deal with the stone chips on the front bumper (bit of a pain as they seem to push the plastic out sideways and make a ridge which has to be sorted first). Needed to be patient while the paint dried before cutting back (wife's hairdryer helped a bit! :wink:). Don't show now so pleased with the result - and finally a full polish.

Bit of a tenuous link but what the hell, some good news for once...

Drove it to work today, to learn I got the senior job I was interviewed for yesterday.   More money towards next year's R :smiley:  but less hours free to pamper the GTI  :undecided:

I activated the big digital speedo in my Passat, so thought I might as well do it in the Golf too.

I wanted the big speedo, so i whiped out my laptop and activated it, used it for a week.

I always have my display on oil temp or MPG. First so I know i can start thrashing it and the second to know when I should start taking it easy

Well my two daily cars only have weedy little 140 CR engines, so a thrashing is hardly worthwhile. I mostly had my MFD set to display miles to empty, but as that would hardly ever move, the digital speedo makes a refreshing change.
