Surely the Golf just applied the auto parking brake which you could manually release?

Do you wear your watch while asleep? I take mine off every night so just sticking the Apple Watch on the charger by the bed is quite natural.

Oh FFS - from this week's Autocar:

The cheekiest example of geo targeted advertising is you have location always on for an app like uber. They track your location 24/7 and sell your data to retailers, they check that location data to see if you spent any time in a store and if you have they’ll start targeting you for marketing. Ther...

That doesn't sound too bad - I had a Mondeo from Enterprise once when my 545i was in for a service.

Fold the rear seats flat to compensate

Glad you posted that - wasn't it quite an effort to get the backrest re-fitted last year?

A 21 year old St Bernard dog?

Is that a slick tyre or a very worn one? Anyway, if you don't need the guard for the Autosolo then you'll shave off a few tenths with the weight reduction.

They could have called it the MiPo (Milan-Poland) or the MiTy (Milan-Tychy).

That's rather lovely - the description he gave you does not do it justice.

Definitely a good value option - I’m not sure if the facelift 957 was hobbled with silver as standard but it looked abysmal.

Nah, mine has the black trim, it’s either anodised or coated, not sure, but it’s certainly not an “edition”. Probably a very expensive option :lol: I don't recall there being a 'Black Edition' Cayenne either (or any Porsche to be honest). I think manufacturers realised that they were losing sales t...

That’s Cayenne Turbo has black trim round the windows - isn’t that quite rare?

My S6 is a black edition. Until the 2023 models the black editions came with chrome Audi rings. They finally went for black rings for mine. I quite like them.

That is a rather hideous baby diarrhoea colour.

I drove past an EQA yesterday which had a Q plate. Wonder what caused that? It looked fairly new.

Blimey, I looked for that plate years ago. It was on an E39 520i at the time I think. No connection to me sadly; but good to know it’s actually been spotted.

That’s a colour I’d not seen before. Previously I’d have said I wanted a purple interior Final Edition but that is possibly even better. Though not the steering wheel, as ever.

Is it the front grille which people hate (justifiably) or other parts?

Actually, is it just a rebadged Peugeot 208?

Did you manage to book a slot for an Emira drive @Jobbo ? Birmingham Lotus hasn't come back to me yet but I've not got time to go and drive one at the moment so I'll chase them when I have. mik By coincidence they emailed around the time I posted. Test driving it on Thursday. Just been reading the ...
