Jack_is_Back Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 ...and what a great time I had! With a few hundred miles on the clock now I decided it was time to open it up a little. I planned a route on the TomTom that took in the delights of the A57 Snake Pass and off I went, with the sun just about to dip below the horizon. The car performed flawlessly, I love the way it's so effortless to drive even at 9/10ths. I felt I could have pushed it a lot harder but that's not wise when you're still getting to know a new car. The sat nav set to 'shortest route' took me on a few interesting roads to say the least; mental note: only use that setting when you don't mind driving down single track roads in the dark! Still, a good chance to test the xenons, which I'm happy to report are very good. Checked the 'puta when I got back and was very pleased to see 27.8mpg too. Here's to the next time.

Chav Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Maybe a thrashing in GTI land is a gentle stroll to the rest of the outside world? <wooden spoon smiley> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRobin Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Jack > You might enjoy and also benefit from a CarLimits day. You push the car to its absolute limits on North Weald airfield. Andy Walsh is a top guy (as long as you don't nick his large salad lunch!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
