Not filled it up since the last post.  :cool:

That's a whole month.  :grin:

Rolled another 523 miles on it.

Filled it up tonight:

46.44 litres

50.67MPG

Which is on commuter duties and included a run up and back to Tidworth for video duties, which was early on Sunday morning and speeds were commensurate with the travel time on the way up there.

Utility motoring absolutely.

Needs more negative camber on the front and I think the top mounts are clattering a touch.

Ah well, it was fun while it lasted, time to scrap it.  :grin:

Wants a set of Bilsteins when this job happens really.

I'm working on my turd polishing skills this year.

Does any of the above in this thread sound like 'detailing' to you?

I've not even mentioned the bike rack yet, or the weld-spatter down the rear screen from tacking it together on the back of the car.  :grin:

Fitness for purpose all the way.  The fitness includes the fitness to drive the tits off it down B-roads.

I'm only kidding but since you ask yes, yes it does, MK3 = Turd, Detailing = Polish.  :grin:

Do MK3's have tits?  I thought they drove them..... I must stop it, it's very childish, offensive to other MK3 owners and uncalled for.

Picture request for bike rack fitting.  :wink:

It appears I have been nastier this month than last:

503 miles 46.31 litres

48.89MPG

This did include a swift there and back to Beaconsfield, which might have knocked off an MPG over the month.
