    Only just noticed the fuel consumption only goes as low as 15 mpg! Bargain.

    That's ok for TDI, not as quick as the T5 and an R would have probably cut that time by three quarters.

    I know it's not going to be as quick as a T5 or an R (yet), but as graeme said it is a beast on the road with all the low down torque, and it has surprised/ embarrassed a few cars

    My T5 isn't much quicker, it was slowest wolf in the pack on the Swedish day convoy, hence I just caught up when I could. The joys of a standard map, eh?

    I'd Just overtake them when their filling up at the petrol station!

    Graham she has insisted that I get the paintwork done before the wedding so I can't complain really. Then afterwards the fun shall begin!
