It's a very interesting read Neil, especially the comments about the 19" wheels.

If you were spending your own money, would you say the PP is worth the near £1000 for use solely on the road?
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

What did they say about the alloys?  :rolleyes: I'd liked the look of them so ordered them along with PP  :cool:

And it's a Silver MK7 GTi they test… You don't get many of them. Waiting for this issue to become available on App Store then will enjoy the read. Thanks for sharing the link.

My subscription came on Saturday but I don't think it's in the shops until Wednesday. Maybe the online version is out then too.

You can buy a hard copy online now (for postage) but the electronic version is not yet available for download.  Availability of the downloadable versions lag way behind, which is annoying.

Thought so! 19's will ruin the ride and handling.
