^^^ That's really quite remarkable!
What brand/model is it? I only ask because I have just got a black car. Never had black.
Despite using special shampoo, which is supposed to stop water marks, the car looked a mess without having been dried off.
Still water marks on the roof, the rest came clean.
Need to find a good drying solution.
Very economical they say, 50mpg when cruising rather actively during my 700km roadtrip. 3-liter straight six, very nice. However, using a passing lane I noticed two trucks ahead and thought that the remaining 500m of double lanes to a strong uphill would allow for a safe overtaking. Well, making it safe resulted in the end speed of 150km/h -Polices posted at the top of passing lane were happy to give me a four figure fine. I've started thinking if something like 318i would be a wiser choice..

I'll find out tomorrow about my bid for this:

Nothing special but the mileage:

Makes it worth a punt.
The dryer..? it's the smallest in the Metroc Vac range, the Blaster Sidekick

The detailer guy's been using this for a number of years but he recently went for one of their grown up models and I admit, watching him in action, the new big-boy is a lot faster but then that's over two hundred quid.

I think doing a final rinse with softened water helps a lot as well. I've always towel dried up to now but I'll be trying the rinse with soft water (a couple of watering cans) and then blast dry. If you're in a hard water area (I am but have a water softener installed for the house) then you can get inline disposable water filters for your hose pipe which, according to the write ups, are very good BUT they work out at £1.50 per wash :-(
Have now had Herman 2 yrs this month, best car I've ever owned. Love this car.

A little off topic but I'll probably get my ass kicked for starting another "what car" thread. What car should I be sinking £6500 into? A coupe or saloon ideally - no MX5s though as it will be a daily driver which I will need to carry stuff in for work.
I've just ordered a new Mercedes E63s AMG.... am I excited or what!
Like this one.... not this actual car, mine is due to be ready for me during September.
I can hardly wait.

Ok, it's not turbo powered or mapped or tuned, but it is very quick for a Hybrid and ridiculously well specced in my options :)
And it makes driving around a city pleasant again.

Hi, does that have a straight 'electric' mode and if so, what's the range please?
Thinking of a hybrid or REX electric as my commute has changed to an 11 mile round trip to the train station...
I still do the occasional longer journey though.
Thanks.
Love the family wagon. We had to unfortunately get rid of our T5 as it wasn't practical with our twin girls car seats with the one sided access. I will get another one day. Do you attend any of the VW weekends?
We replaced it with an A4 b8 avant 2.0tdi. How do you find the DTUK box? Looking at getting one but a bit sceptical fitting a generic box appose to having a remap created to my specific engine.
I always have a soft spot for an Octavia vRS.
I had a mark 1 from new to 90+K and it did everything you could want of it.
I was less keen on the mark 2 (looked a bit bloated and blobby), but the new ones look good!
They should make a vRR in my view, based on the Golf R platform.

Hi it does have an option to run entirety on battery but the range is tiny, only a mile or so with a full charge.
Saying that though I've found it very economical, especially for short town trips as it uses the battery whenever possible, I'm averaging 55-60 mpg even on short runs in traffic.
It is also surprisingly nippy in Sports mode as it uses the battery charge combined with the petrol engine to give a boost, it won't challenge many of the cars in this topic but it gets to 30 mph pretty fast:)
Thanks for the info. :eagerness:
Love the old Range Rovers, back when they used to be 'proper' off roaders ;)
Got this about a month or so but been busy getting a few things tidied up on it, so much bang for your buck and the handling is amazing, and the sound of the flat six
