Get some pics - will be good to see a Pretoria equipped Lapiz, and also to know what rubber it is on (crossing my fingers for you to have Conti 5P rather than Bridgestone RE050).

MH - how have you got your head around your fuel bills doubling once the R arrives - or will your mileage drop to compensate?

Mileage will hopefully be about the same in my new job (wherever that will be) - redundancy looms in June, with a big lumper, so the R will be bought outright. Considering 1/3 of the average PCP is interest, not having finance will be saving me about £150 a month over the PCP option, and I was anticipating (before the fuel prices came down almost 20%) that fuelling the R would be costing me about £80 a month more, more like £65 now.

For a TDI, my GTDs mpg is rock bottom right now, so not much of a shock (hopefully). Just looking forward to get some confident traction.

MH - mine costs around about £55 to fill up with Tesco 99; I have averaged 27 mpg in 4k miles, and I enjoy Sport mode whenever I can  :evil: - so I don't believe you'll notice the difference in your pocket too much  :cool:
