Cruise was a lot of fun.  Mum hasn't been in it yet but she has admired it from the doorstep and thinks it looks great (of course she's registered partially sighted so that isn't necessarily the compliment it might be....)

I took a detour up the Lang Whang on the way home and after I'd passed two slow drivers and a tanker just out of Carnwath, I had a clear run to Currie.  Wheeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

Rolfe.

Completely off topic but never mind - got my first labrador from a breeder in Currie "Rossbank Labradors" way back in 1994.

Anyway look forward to the pics when you manage.

Took delivery this afternoon.  Sad to say goodbye to the Peugeot, but it did rather blot its copybook by refusing to start this morning - battery discharged, but might have been my fault.

It was protesting at being taken to the knacker's yard!!



Also told not to bother about running in.



Don't let T_T read that!!  He's had a go at me already for hitting 7k :P

I was only wondering yesterday what had become of you, Rolfe. Anyway, congrats on the new arrival and post those pix asap - we have hardly seen any graphite blue GTIs :smiley:

It revs up very readily with the DSG, doesn't it?  I'm getting much higher revs without really trying than I ever did with the Peugeot.

Congrats Morag on picking the new car up. Rather than wait months for a new car I went and bought an ex-demo whilst you were away! We're probably the only ones on 17'' wheels on here (although I have a set of 18s in the garage off my mk5 waiting to go on sometime).  :smiley:
