A few pics from work

First off, a VW Transporter that we had in, how cool is this!


Bloody low!

And the highest mileage Mk5 Golf GTi iv seen yet, and it was only on a 57 plate!

Next up for anyone interested in the Eos, and its 497 individual moving roof parts, here is a pic of the roof half up

That roof linkage looks a right b**ch to assemble!

I swear i've seen that van recently, I can't remember where though.

A woman near me has an eos, hers has some proper chunky wheels on it though, they look like they weigh loads !

Cool van! That roof looks like an expensive fix if a part fails! Fcuk that!

 

[Russ_16v]

im dreading when the Eos comes out of warranty

 

[iimushroomzii]

^^^ You had many back in to be fixed?

 

[Liambo-235]

Wow!! the milage on that GTi, musta been a fair few pounds spent on tyres and petrol! :S

 

[Russ_16v]

^^^ You had many back in to be fixed?

Only a couple, the roof mech is pretty well behaved, and if anything goes wrong they simply trip out and not open and you can close them manually

The main thing we have them back in for is leaks, the roof seals are not that great, so we do alot of warranty work on the seals, VW have changed the seals now so once they are done they seem fine

That's a lot of miles for a 57 plate!

 

[iimushroomzii]

Not too bad then! I was imagining all sort of stories about people getting soaked because the roof wont go back up but I guess thats not the case!

That 57 plate golf must have spent the majorty of its life on the road, literally 24/7.

 

[Timmay]

good effort on that mileage front

 

[RDP197]

That mileage is ridiculous. I quite like the Eos. Something about them that vaguely appeals.

A chap came in last week with a VW Transporter who does 190k Per Year!!

His 07 plate Transporter has 390k on it!

 

[Jordi17]

Thats 520 miles per day, EVERY single day of the year! Christ!!

I like the Eos personally.

Van would look good if the wheels were painted better!
