Heated seats are ok if I've got my action slacks on
But when its cold I've usually got my piss stained pantaloons on then another pair of piss stained pantaloons then some insulated ladies ski pants from lidil
You could spark a blow lamp up under my bum hole and I wouldn't feel a thing :P

Not today but it appears that I'm a bloody good driver (van terms) which I already knew of course but it's still nice to be told :-)

62% cold driving which isn't too bad considering.

:lol: 34.1 I've tried going 66 instead of 70 but it doesn't make any difference mpg wise the mk7 would be a few mpg different
So now I just set cruise to 76 and go for it :P

Drove to the dentist first thing in mine. All checked out. Then took my wife to the hairdresser, hung about, brought her back home. That's half of my day off gone already, and it's only the second day off in January thus far. Mind you, the first one was to go and collect my shiny new 290 DCIV Sport, in fabulous Deep Impact Blue, from Stoneacre in York (great job, Nige and Kevin). Replaces my previous 64-plate 290 DCIV Limited, also in Deep Impact Blue. New one has five seats (much better for the front seat passenger and). Deleted the stripes and replaced the 17" black and silver wheels with the single colour 18" ones. Happy as Larry now. Anyone want a set of brand new 17" Sport wheels with Contis fitted? Open to sensible offers (chris@baileystravel.co.uk).

In November brought a new to me (2014) Custom three weeks later reversed into a parking space that had a tree limb stump which put a massive dent in the rear door a friend tried to beat it out but too stretched.
Image
Too expensive to repair so stuck on a couple of windows
Image
Looked good but a bit strange so over Christmas brought the rear the rear ones and stuck them on today.

Looks good, how easy was it to fit the rear door windows? Did you cut out the metal or just stick them over the top
