Thanks Jimble

I did press the button in the B pillar eventually but wanted alarm to carry on for a bit in the hope (wasted) that he would hear it!!

.....I've only just trained him to press it once to properly deadlock it!  Obviously too good a teacher  :grin:

What have you done to your Mk6 today then?

Given her a rest.

The poor thing has been up and down mid and West Cornwall all week in all weathers and is grubby and smells of pasties!

Still, she had a great time on those sweeping country roads and I had a great time eating pasties!  :drool:

It should do mine sat for 3 months and started ok.

Just went and filled mine with petrol ready for another 2 weeks commute.
Been using mine everyday for the past 2 weeks it looking very dirty  :embarrassed:
I often think I should have bought a silver one as dark colours just look dirty after 5 minutes use.  :embarrassed:

Cleaned it (with a wooly mitt; not the taboo 's' word  :grin:), drove it to pick up a mate from the railway station and saw 20 degrees outside temperature displayed on the MFD; first time this year I've seen it that high!

Bloody good clean at last, used my lambs wool mitt (no sponges here either  :grin:) and my excellent drying towel from i4 detailing. Iron x and tardis, clayed all over and just a quick polish no time for sealant or wax this week.

Got my first 61.3mpg for this year, on my 28 mile to work commute, thanks 11 degrees Celsius you helped. Few more degrees and I will be able to get it higher.

12.3038@109 mph with a 1.7741@60' launch at Santa Pod on Sunday.

Not too bad considering the 30mph headwind blowing all day! :angry:
