MarcWatts Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Hi BLOCK, thanks for the compliment! Not quite sure how long it takes for them to loosen up, but have been told that you can drive them fast, just feed the power gently. Took my dad out in it and made him say "Bloody Hell!" when I added a bit more pressure to the loud peddle. Mine has already got around 270 miles on, but that's because my fiance's parents live in the west mids, and I come from Berkshire. Congrats with yours also BLOCK, and hope you continue to enjoy yours as I do mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joffan Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Mine was second hand had to go to the Maidenhead branch even though it was advertised at the Slough branch,I dealt with Chris,top class bloke. I traded in a three door Tornado Red 05 plate GTI against a 55 plate with all the extras except leather. I got a very good deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] ....It doesn't take so long if you sometimes use a capital letter in your post texts . Seriously though, expect it to feel looser at about 10,000 miles and then, I'm told, 50,000.
