Let's just say he and the car are well matched.

Nissan Jukes seem amazingly popular for what is essentially a very ugly Renault Clio.

Every other newish car in Tyne and Wear seems to be a Juke - lots  of friends and family of Nissan Sunderland employees is probably the reason. So Fugly, chunky on the outside with the interior space of a Micra.

My works car park is littered with them now.  I've never been a car snob, but I'm almost too embarrassed to park my car amongst the Joke monstrosities.   :grin:

Well, to show willing I went and registered on vwroc.  Not an easy task, it took numerous attempts on 3 different computers (the screen kept defaulting back to some article on the R400!).  But eventually it worked and I got an acknowledgement which said I would get an email with the next steps within 10 mins max.  It's now been about 3 hours and still nothing!! Doesn't bode well for the future  :whistle:

Have you sabotaged my registration Asker, as retaliation to my unceremonious abdication as your Matron of Honour??   :grin: :grin: :kiss: :kiss:

I finally found the vwroc activation email buried in a random folder!!  In Google's increasingly elaborate attempts to control my life via Gmail, it had misdirected it into some new 'promo' folder, and there was me rifling through the inbox and spam folder looking for it, how foolish of me  :rolleyes:

I long for the time when I just got emails into my inbox and was 'allowed' to sort them myself, before the big machine decided I was of sufficiently low intelligence as to need Gmail to do it for me  :angry:  :grin:

The evil of Google rant over!!

Back to this lovely forum.....

But the DSG can also be used as a manual. Just does not have that stupid clutch pedal.  :grin: :whistle:

The clutch is only as stupid as the person using it, the DSG box is sometimes a bit dumb and there's not a lot the driver can do about it.  :tongue:

Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

This is true, DSG is sometimes a little confused and disobedient (aren't we all) but with a gentle and persuasive touch it can be coaxed into behaving itself and doing as it is commanded :cool:  :grin:
