Re: Your fleet running reports
This week the Passat, the 7 & the Touareg are all brilliant, they do everything I want them to and more. They’re the best car I’ve ever had. And they’re all amazingly good on fuel.

Come back here when you have real tyre troubles
How about not having a sig at all?

Re: Your fleet running reports
That makes me really want a Caterham!!!
Also, I bet when running through the gears, in the back of your head you’re screaming “race car!!!!”
Dave!

Re: Your fleet running reports
It's fucking great, but I am biased First time I've got up early for a blast for a few weeks. It's a bit barmy even with 140bhp tbh, mainly due to the perfect gear ratios dropping you back in the power. Unfortunately some changes (second to third is worst) are a bit crunchy, so can't be rushed as much as I'd like! Saving for a gearbox rebuild next year, new gearbox oil didn't cure it.
The lights were on tbf Simon, given the car park was empty I hope it was just the cleaners
Re: Your fleet running reports
If magic happens I’ll get an Ariel Nomad, it normality resumes I’ll do the few trips I want to do with the 500e and then sell it for a Caterham, I can just see it being more useable in the future and I generally like to bond with cars over a long time.
140hp sounds like a useable amount of power. There is a lot to be said for being able to bury the throttle.
Very cool car
Dave!

Looks like you hit 88mph and went back to the glory days of 2015

Pubs were allowed to open from 6am. I doubt many actually are.

Cheers, Harry

Lovely stuff Chris.
I took the rear underside guard off the Fabia. Another 10kg or so of sheet metal I don’t need at the upcoming Autosolo.

It was fun having a ding-dong with you at Bedford in my Carrera.JonMad wrote: ↑Fri Jul 03, 2020 2:12 pmYep, just the kind of sale you wish for really.
Even after I took the decat pipe off for MOT purposes (I should have left it and added a sport cat, but didn't think of it enough before the MOT) it was still rapid. 20bhp/lb ft less with the OEM cat back in. Popped a bit less though, after that. I didn't have a friendly MOT place like Scott did.
