I guess most of us are pretty happy with the spec of our cars but it is great to have the services of certain technically minded people on the forum like Darren and Steve, Doc and Snoops etc who have given their time and incredible knowledge to enable some of us to have retrofitted kit which would have cost a fortune through the dealers.
Thanks guys you are the best.

I'm pretty happy with the spec of mine and probably got a bit too carried away if I'm honest.  She's definitely a keeper for a few years.

I'd love a sunroof and 18 inch wheels if money had been no object. Also my Garmin with the ugly wire going down to the cigar lighter is annoying me much more on the mk6 than it ever did on my mk5 for some strange reason!!

RNS510 no need for wires then, great piece of equipment.

Don't get too massive as you might need a frame change to stop the creaking. :grin:

So is the Sawridge Inn. When your in Jasper, check out the microbrewery. I spent an afternoon in there and got absolutely bladdered  :laugh:

I got RCD510 and front/rear sensors as options and I'm happy wth that. Hill hold came as std on the 2011MY and it's a neat little function

This thread is going on/off topic like mad  :undecided:

ACC (with state of roads)
 
Parking sensors (that front and rear shape can be a pain to judge)

If my dealer had understood simple English Instructions i would have had 5 other options added to my order as compensation for been messed about. VW helped me out by getting the sunroof added at the very very last minute after 3 months of the dealer messing me about even after VW said it was ok to add extra options due to production delay and VW thought it was "actually a great idea" :lipsrsealed:
