Let's call them tructors - a new form of transport for the real masses.  :evil:

Ah, but you helped with the correction. So I merged the two.
Imagine the noise those tructors make ploughing up and down the motorways.

I hear the GTD comes with some new options...

Snowplough attachment for the front and a grit spreader for the back.

Also a number of farming attachments, the combined plough/seeder being the pick of the options.

It has to be versatile for all the racket it makes.
VW has seen sense.

Lucky for me I got the big engine then. People cant see me in it, as they only see the back of it, best of both worlds!

This is a good guide.

I was with a guy today 10plate gti non dsg 18's lives near a motorway but drives like a hero. Over the 27000 miles he has never ever reset the computer and it said 32.8 mpg.

on the dual garage way home i was getting 40.4mpg when it was brand new

i have done nearly 200 miles now in heavy traffic and country roads etc and I'm averaging 32.4 or something. I'm pleased with that as my clio 197 was around 26mpg all the time.

once the car is run in i would expect it to get even better.
