Had a nice 90 mile run in the GTI this morning back from the North Coast averaged 42mpg and sat mostly 65-75, reminded me how well rounded the GTI.

Relocated the car from west London to Dorset, not far from Swanage. Very nice where we are, now off to discover the delights of the local pubs :smiley:

The view from our door...



Welcome to Dorset :wink:

Tank Museum was great, a few years ago I got to drive a Chieftan tank which was amazing so good to see a few of them. Monkey World was pretty good but I think they train the buggers to hide so you have to keep coming back....

I sold my GTi (not today - a couple of weeks ago)

I do miss the practicality of a hatchback.

Love the engine note of its replacement though - no soundaktor required at all.
