Interesting, may have to look into the remap.

Lol Grundy I was about to say the same thing, it actually looks ok, Be interesting to see what the full kit looks like. I'd never do it of course

Yup totally right and you can't argue with man maths. And yes some people just don't get it, I was talking to some people at work and the universal consensus is they can't wait for driverless Google cars. I told them that's my worst nightmare and I will be there in my loud gas guzzling zed while they are chauffeur driven in their little boxes

1.9TDI elegance estate. A little contrast to the zed. I know what you mean Ross, exactly the decision I made.

Your new toy looks fantastic Colin, can't wait for a passenger lap around the evo.

Have to say, seriously impressed by the skoda, Diesel engine certainly pulls well. Best bang for the buck ever

So I have owned Rosie for nearly three years now, wow time certainly has flown by quickly and don't think I've stopped smiling since I picked up the keys. So many happy memories in this car. Numerous trips to Wales with my buddies, around Devon and the South coast. Up to the lakes and a number of meets in the Midlands. Then the epic trip of 2500 miles around Europe around austria and Italy and the Alps. Amazing. Even got to do a couple of trips up Prescott hill climb and 2 laps around rockingham. We have covered 43,000 miles together and she still feels like new and that noise, oooooh that noise. Such fun But recently I have been after something more practical and comfortable, it's a little cosy in that cockpit at over 2m tall. Hiring a couple of diesels recently to ship stuff when I moved made me realise the value of comfort and more seats, space and wow how many miles you can cover in a diesel. So I started looking at other cars. Really fell for the BMW 420d, loved m5's, looked at golfs and the new focus. Lots of temptations. Even liked the new qashqai. Found myself on autotrader more and more and decided it was time for a change. So I did....... Thing is, every time I got in Rosie I had a huge smile on my face. Dam she's good fun when you put your foot down. And I have had such fun and met such good friends through car meets that it's more than a car now, it's a big piece of my social life. Then there is the fact that she's so rare on the road and every car I went to see I'd look back at Rosie and to the other car and say "nope just doesn't do it for me". Until today, saw a great little car, 5 doors, comfy, very economical, a few years old and got some miles under her belt but looks and feels brand new. It's a skoda Octavia estate and I have to say she's a real gem. So comfy. And the best news. She fits nicely on the drive next to Rosie. Realised there's just no way I can sell her, she's a keeper. Such a cracking car for the money and hard to replace. Now she can be used purely for fun and more road trips and I have a comfy gem of a car for every day hauling. Perfect. So looks like you lot are stuck with me for a little while longer while I have fun in my shed

Finished on Friday and just been chilling since then with gin and baileys and bad tv

You guys are totally, utterly brilliant. If there is anything I can do to help out on this one (please note my complete lack of technical skill with cars, but I can reach the high stuff) then let me know. Would be good to help out

Welcome, let's see some pics

I know a nice pie shop and a fantastic chocolate establishment we can try on the test run

Lots of options. When are you thinking of doing this?

Ah

Yup, definitely on. New team have stepped up to organise

Yup all should have cc, unless maybe an import

Andy has had some practice too with a few Wales runs

Haha more than welcome graham, I was thinking more for the Chaps close by up here who had some questions in this thread May be pointless now though given the thread is so old, still thought I'd throw it out there

Ok so back in hereford until 5th January and I remembered this old thread. I know there are lots of plans on in the next few weeks but if anyone wanted to meet up for a drink, chat about the car and a spin give me shout

Roadtrips in the zed. First Wales, then europe, 2500 miles across 11 countries. Then a lads weekend in the cars back in Wales. Cracking trips all with some great mates.

Very cool

Good luck with the venture Adrian and Taras

Yup, good luck with the man cave, looking forward to coming down to test it out. Agree with Dave though, sorry to hear things didn't go so well.

Very nice, enjoy

Happy birthday Chris.
