I'm off work now, but still waiting for my NHS volunteer registration to get processed - I submitted it last Thursday. I guess they've got a backlog. A good thing in a way.

Once that's through I'll be able to get out and exercise the cars during the day. Sports car prescription deliveries ! 8-)

Can't see that going up much now it's dry weather and can use the potential.

(Found the washer thing thanks)

As it stands currently it'll be just over 100k when it goes back at 3yrs. I don't want it to go back early as our car list is now dull as fuck rather than the old "get what you want" version.

Hopefully it gets signed off 🤞😂
That’s rather a lot of miles in three years :lol:

Good stuff [mention]scotta[/mention]

Sounds like a ‘nearly’ car compared to Golf R, which to me is a modern day mini R35 GTR (having not driven either).

Nice GTE in your background picture. I’ve only ever seen one; at a track day at Donington. If I won the Euromillion I would track down the owner of the ‘one of one liquid gold’ GTE, and make an offer he can’t refuse.

Doing so many miles in something with so much useable performance has been a real hoot and I'm only half way through my time with it. Cant wait for the rest. A blast up North is definitely overdue and this period of inactivity is making me desperate to get up the West Coast and Highlands again when this shit show is over. Especially as I've got a nice new set of Goodyear F1SS on it.

[mention]Mito Man[/mention] that tyre wear looks a lot like "too much" toe in, although the toe can be within spec so a garage won't help unless you ask for a custom alignment. Manufacturers often set extremely conservative toe angles which add stability but will tear out the inside edge of a tyre (front or rear) quite quickly.

GTE's are all LHD, plus for me the kit looks a bit too....after-markety for me, like Mansory have had a go at it. Prefer the factory setup.

It is the Mansory kit, my favourite was the narrowbody Evora with Mansory style front end, only a handful made, even better in "lightweight" spec ;)
