back off the road trip
« on: 31 May 2012, 14:43 »
after a week away covering 700 miles of driving got back last night from the lake district as we set off the car looked rather low with a boot full of clothes and 3 children i adjusted the rear coils up by 20mm  :lipsrsealed: and well it was still low even managed to get some decent mpg whilst driving like a fairy and after the map and my calculations it seems that the trip computer isnt really out by much if any thing at all  :smiley:

got some lows



and the best mpg i have ever had in the golf  :grin:
