I had the privilege of driving this today as my car was off the road. What a way to start the day...



Aircooled engines with heat exchangers should come with hats and gloves in the glove box....It was cold!

Please tell me the smoke in the first pic is from the tyres and not the exhaust :P

Muckie

Nice.

"Aircooled engines with heat exchangers should come with hats and gloves in the glove box....It was cold!"

You waited for that particular moment to take that 2nd picture, didnt you?

Actually more concerned that those dials were the first thing that caught my eye...)

Different view this morning, bit more comfortable but less dramatic.....private closed road and all that too obviously.

So here's the conundrum. Quoting a pic is a 24hr ban, but if you double post a quoted pic, do you get double the ban?

Leniency for a first time infraction? (I know you can't quote pics, but there was grime on the notification and in my defence, I've been posting here for 3 years and I never knew you couldn't turn right quote pics)

Careful now, you're not permitted to have a sense of humour these days. :P

Parody is frowned upon by certain Mods.

I think your'e gonna get banned, the book will be thrown at ye. May as well go down in a blaze of glory and quote as many pictures as you can before the long arm of the law catches up with ye.

I would be lying if I said I wasn't tempted to double post the Dino pic. I reckon boards would potentially explode!


*OSI, have I ever told you that you are the best looking mod on Boards?

It was designed for a LHD car but they weren't bothered to put it on the driver's side in RHD models. Same thing in Renault Clios!

The thing happens on wiperblade systems on BMWs too. They are position for a LHD car on a RHD model...

I bought a set of wiper blades from Halfords for my old BMW e39. Fitted them as instructed on package.(i.e one on drivers side and another on passenger) sure enough went to test them and ended up bending them as they were put on the wrong way around as the were made for a European car. I found that strange as I got them from Halfords which I thought were a English company.

I often wonder if ice that severe is bad for paint.

Sorted .


Well at least get some rainX or reload.

Kaiser has had a panzer this week!



First time driving something that size. Was a bit nervy the first time but you do get used to it very quick and the higher driving positon is pretty handy! Also noticed that other drivers don't seem to be as dumbassery around it!

Still having problems with the new car?

Few teething issues alright but should/better(!) be sorted now. Took a while to get needed parts I'm told. Did negotiate a warranty extension out of it though (no issues in that regard to be fair)

Nothing says €70k SUV quite like halogens :rolleyes:

No colour MMI, Satnav, heated seats either. It's amazing how you "expect" things to be there after you've had them a while. Huge sunroof though and the halogens aren't bad to be fair. It's fairly hard on juice though!

Few snaps of the new toy. 2009 GT spec 140bhp. 85k miles. Full VW service history. Very satisfied with it so far! Bodywork is perfect, few nicks on the wheels though (Radio removed as I'm getting the code for it)
