Grahamm

Welcome to the club - she looks  :cool:  and I'm sure you will enjoy every minute behind the wheel, especially with DSG  :wink:

Just out of interest is that Smith Knight Fay Bolton?

Thanks Kermit, I know I am going to enjoy this one! Every time I take off my mind goes, "Traction control? What traction control????" - she seems to wheel-spin at every opportunity! And I am not even trying... honest...

To answer your question, that is actually Leicester Volkswagen...

Mine (Ed30) came with Continentals  :huh:

Is it just a case that they take the next tyres off a pile or something?  :laugh:

Graham - take it out of sport mode  :wink:

Brother has dunlops on his GTI - says they are kack and squeel like a pig. Didn't know VW were using contis - mine came with Michellins - had a few spins/squeaks when pulling out hastily  :grin:  Had Pirelli PZeros on my TT, now they were good tyres if a little bit expensive per corner.
