You cant rag the VW's as they are transported in transport mode. Limits speed, revs etc etc. Unless dockside they can take it out of transport mode rag it and then put it back into transport mode your car wont be ragged.

Interesting. When I saw my car when it first landed in the dealers, the MFD said it was still in "Transport" mode.

Mine and monkeyhangers sales guy went to port of tyne to pick monkeys dads gtd up. Could only drive it back at no more than 30mph due to it being in transport mode. Took him longer to drive back than he thought it would.

This makes me very happy.  Its been bugging me that some drivers at the port might be having fun trying to beat each other's 0-60 times in my car before I've even seen it! haha
