Damp outside

Morning all. After a shite day yesterday, hopefully today will better.

Prep for tomorrow's meetings. And intergalactic mileage.

Morning! It's a day off for me today and I'm in London for a day of tasting Portuguese wines.

A taste of the old country, Stevie. Kind of.

Morning, all. 'twas an early start today with calls from 7.30. The rest of the day will be spent trying to get email under control. I'm sure that buried amongst all the shite there are probably some things that matter.

Morning. X pipe in...finally what a *******.

Off having a hair cut, have to tighten it all up later and align it.

Looks like CarPlay install will have to wait till tomorrow but I should be able to start stripping panels out today.

Is that what you've gone for Newton? Very nice if it is.

That I do look forward to hearing. It sounded staggeringly delicious already.

What precision, Matt! You pay more attention to your hair than I gave you credit for.

Whilst working from home I took the opportunity of going round the car giving the various vulnerable areas a squirt of ACF50 to deter the dreaded rust. It's amazing how quickly things like nuts and exposed threaded areas can start to go a bit furry. A quick bit of work with a wire brush and a slosh of the purple gloopy stuff should help keep everything tip-top.

Nope; this is the beastie, T32, DSG 4Motion SWB, Highline, metalic midnight blue, fully tricked, roof rails, tow bar, ply lined and now mine.

Must remember to put diesel in it!

The forum doesn't really have a peacock, a swaggering dandy. Despite a few Ferraris creeping in, I think we're generally all more likely to make sure our cars look in good nick than ourselves.

Home; wow fallen in love with the DSG, my god the gear changes are awesome and so suited to the Diesel engine, never driven a vehicle so well matched, sensational brakes and astonishing acceleration for a van. All that and at least three times more to the gallon than the Volvo possibly four times!

Just remember it's not a 4x4!

We've had a few close calls, his name escapes me but he bought a crocodile jacket at Goodwood and WORE it proudly. Then announced that he bought TWO! The other is another colour...

VW DSG is amazing, we have a fugly Yeti at work, foot to the floor and GO!

But it is! I searched and found a unicorn! DSG & 4Motion because much of my work is off road... just need to fit a discrete winch!
