Your fleet running reports

[Sundayjumper]

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.

[Mito Man]

Going too fast ?

180 raging Quattro horses, sometimes I both spin up the tears AND pop a wheelie

Dave!

Come back here when you have real tyre troubles

[speedingfine]

Popped to the pub briefly.



Didn't fancy it.

Apologies for potato dashcam and mic

[mik]

Them r closely stacked ratios.

[V8Granite]

Stupid double post

[V8Granite]

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!

[Jobbo]

Weren’t they open from 6.00am?

Recognise that one

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

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!

[Rich B]

4 cylinders sounding epic there!

[John]

Sounds great

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.

I don’t think greene king are opening any until Monday.

[JonMad]

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.

[Coaster1]

Smooth and easy

I had a couple of runs with that car when ScottF owned it. It was not slow.

Yep, 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.

It was fun having a ding-dong with you at Bedford in my Carrera.

Nice, assume it's with LSD.

I've started looking at 20k r300~ examples and then evonomics kicks in.

I've went to view a stupid tow car. I didn't buy it.

You didn't really have any intention to buy that?

Yeah, it’s not even silver. Pull the other one, SJ.

Yes to the LSD, daft not to have one on such a childish car, donuts are now a regular pastime for me

This one on PH looks awesome. https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds ... s/10578455
