Some nice motors and great pics. That classic Jag 0)
My daily is a tourer, when I need to let the hair down I take the red beast out for a spin...
^my favourite of all the M5s, so understated.
Lovely M5. Is it Imola Red?
As an aside, the thread title needs updating to ‘what’s on your drive’. The verb is currently pretty much redundant....
Delivery was planned for 27th March, but delayed for obvious reasons.
My first Alfa, and to replace my black Audi A4 estate, which friends call the hearse.
I’m really keen on the red with the black wheels and trim.
^ superb! I have been tempted by a Quad at times, please post some pics and your opinion once you get it. A dedicated thread would be even better
My Golf R is due to go back to the lease company on 5th June - They've offered an 'up to 6 months' extension on the same terms, but I'm going to wait and see if there's any chance of me driving anywhere first!

So VWFS have a standard 20% discount option if you extend your lease and ask. I’ve personally benefited from this 1 year ago tomorrow, as have friends and colleagues. The only variance is that we all extended for 1 year, not 6m.
As far as I’m aware, 20% is both standard and the maximum. There’s an admin fee of around £50 to pay as well.
Right now, VWFS don’t want the cars back. They cannot collect them, they cannot send them through auction, and they will likely have to tax them, all while earning no money on the asset. I doubt you’ll need to play hard ball, and just be open about knowing others have had 20% off with VWFS.
The one thing I’d say from my experience and friends/colleagues is that VWFS admin team are quite incompetent. Make sure you get them to email you the paperwork.
Totally agree with the view that VWFS admin is incompetent. That’s been my experience with my wife’s GTI lease. Keep every bit of correspondence.
This should be a good time to try a hard deal to buy the car, for the reasons already set out. VWFS can’t easily collect it, can’t auction it and will have a massive glut of cars when this is eventually over.
Still driving the Materia:
I currently have driven a whopping 220 miles since picking my cayman up, not even a tank of fuel & is currently covered in dust on the driveway.
Will wash it over the weekend again & have my wife take it for her commute as a key worker just so it gets a run out.
Was a great hobby & relaxation of mine to go out early or late in the car, few cars about and just enjoy driving. Roads are perfect at the moment, but I refuse to be daft.
Thanks for that. It does look fantastic.
My weekend toy is a Caterham 7. Usually get a reciprocal wave from anyone in a Lotus.

Does washing in that stuff make a Q5 into a Macan? If so, that's certainly magic!
Perhaps a reference to.....
"The Porsche Macan shares its platform and wheelbase with the first generation Audi Q5".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_Macan
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
Thanks, I did get the reference re: shared platform ;-) Certainly looking shiny now! :-)
Just did the V12 CostCo run
