Order placed. Due in December. Golf GTI Clubsport 300PS Pure White Standard 18” alloys No performance pack So big standard spec but, as I said before, it’s a lease for 2 years. I think this will be the bookend ICE car for me.

8.5. I’ll be honest, I am a tad confused by the range. I keep reading that the Clubsport was to celebrate 50 years of GTI. So, why the Ed50? Anyway. I’ll be going boggo spec GTI CS. Pony 18” wheels, ‘cause lease. Meh. Deal with it. Probably peel those shite door decals off though 👀

Decided that the only way to solve the above issues is to line up a GTI Clubsport. Hoping to pull the trigger on Monday 🤷🏻‍♂️

Image is another problem. f**k me I cannot drive anywhere without some melt being up my ass trying to goad me into hitting triple figures everywhere.

The buttons and tech is part of the issue, yes. Which is why I caveated with they’re different generations of car. The vRS was better built and more reliable. My GTI frequently flags errors. From minor and temporary front assist issues to a full DSG and e-handbrake meltdown the other week...

I had a Mk3.5 vRS for nearly 8 years. Now had my 8.5GTI 18 months. So the caveat is they’re different generations of car but, overall I much preferred the vRS. To the point I wish I had not got rid and just spent the money sorting the minor, age related issues.

Dropping this one in here. Upbadging? Not quite. Just as noncey though.

You get speed camera warning on Apple Maps as well…?

I wouldn’t go back to a non streaming device. I enjoy paying Apple £24.99 a month to listen to the same four songs over and over and over, far to much.

Correcting myself on this one, so apologies @Ay Ay Ron, you are in fact correct. Spotted the header on Uswitch. This is new. Up until this year, I had always just gone to Uswitch and picked what I wanted, which directed me to O2 and I upgraded from there with the deal. Seems this now isn’t an...

The O2 ones are for anyone. Like I said, I do it every year. when you select the plan on Uswitch you’re taken to O2 and are asked something like “Are you a new customer or an existing wanting to upgrade“. As for moving, it’s piece of oiss these days. Text for a PAC, enter it into new supplier...

I’ve been on O2 for years. Every year, I go to Uswitch and pick whatever deal is around £8. It’s usually about 30-40 Gb. f**k going direct to O2, as you’ve found out.

Meh, don’t mind it. Front is a little busy. Like all new models, it’ll be slated and by the time it’s replaced that narrative will have changed to “this was the best one ever…”.

They are factory fit.

Briskoda is not a bad forum to ask tbh. Not as active as here but not completely dead either. A bit more anorak, as well.

New 15m rubber hose fitted; from direct hoses 👌 Almost sent it back for it not being compatible but, turns out I’m just a mong. Was also confused by the weird red paste that was on the old hose when I took it off. Oh yeah, that was blood as I’d somehow managed to lacerate my finger whilst...

I’d probably take a punt on one for a few years at this tbh… 🤔 6+35 @ £378 for 10k miles a year.

“Can I still get Emmerdale..?” Is likely to be the top question from mine 🙄

Do…do you think they’ve done that because it’s an Astra Sports Tourer..?

I think you want a rubber hose… I’ve been looking at them. Like you, I hate the plastic hoses. But haven’t committed yet… Example… https://www.directhoses.net/collections/hoses-for-titan/products/titan-screwfix-ttb669prw-pressure-washer-rubber-replacement-hose

Only a 2 litter? That’s rubbish…

Reminds me of the Ultimate Behemoth from The Simpson’s. https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/Ultimate_Behemoth

Gave the car its twice yearly blitz yesterday, which turned out to be a pain in the tits. Was meant to be overcast but turned into a blazing sunny day. Not ideal for Iron-X etc. Carried on regardless and did small areas at a time. Anyway, i was building up to using Bilt Hamber Touch On...

Announcement at 7pm.

This seems the most appropriate place to discuss the below. Is anyone else not interested in this level of Smart Home automation? I like the idea of a few lights, speakers. But having your door open as you approach the house? Too far for me.

Seen a few of those Lotus Eletre about. Absolute monstrosity.

Certainly can be in my Golf. Agreed that it’s a total s**t feature. Mainly as it doesn’t just pick up signs on the road you’re on but, also those on backs of vehicles, side roads and any temporary limits (I’m thinking those 20mph school limits that are active when the lights are flashing)...

There is a 7 series I see quite often. Light up grille. It’s laughable.

Ha, I saw the same one near Tim Hortons in Dunfermline. Agreed, good looking but the graphic was absolute aids.
