So yesterday I had to do a run from south yourkshire to Watford and back, roughly 300 miles. I wasn't in a rush either, so stuck the car in eco mode and managed to get up to over 40mpg, bit of town traffic has brought that back down already. But first thing this morning was still showing 39.9 Also, thank God for Aircon, was 33 in Watford yesterday. Much preferred being the R. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Hi All, Just wondering if anyone has done the North Coast 500? I have read some peoples posts saying it is great, but the east coast is a little bit underwhelming. Anyone got any advice? Cheers

Hi, Black R spotted in Rotherham General Hospital at around 7.30pm. I wasn't in my R, but nice to see another black R round these parts.

Didn't get a chance to spend long on it this weekend. Only managed to get it cleaned on Monday evening. A bit of a before and after shot Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Welcome! Great choice on the DBP, although I am biased!

Finally got round to giving mine a clean on Saturday as well. Not as good as some on here, but I'm new to the detailing world. Building up my products slowly. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Depending on the weekend I may be up for this as well. -
I used the standard lambs wool mitt for the first time at the weekend. It was great, and I would recommend this to anyone. Haven't used the mitt with the mesh side, as I would be trying to remove these via snowfoam or jet wash.

Standard wash and wax shampoo. Can't remember the brand. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Likewise, I have been told by the wife and brother not to buy anymore cleaning stuff before Christmas. So no doubt I will be making a list and order before the new year! haha! -
Hi All, Anyone in the South Yorkshire area that might be able to help. As the title says I would quite like to have the indicators on a progressive lighting and also the exhaust flaps open during normal driving mode. Question - Will coding affect warranty when going for a service on a PCP? Cheers Gav

So after 1 week of ownership, 360 miles of driving, this is why it needs a wash already haha! Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Yeah, should have said that I picked it up on Saturday. My cheeks are aching as I haven't stopped smiling yet! Just need to run it in properly before really getting the best out of it. Thanks, the colour is incredible. Totally made up with it.

After 5 months waiting I finally collected my DBP G7r. Wow. Totally worth the wait. Weather wasn't great, so not many photos, but this car looks great at night. Looking forward to giving it a proper clean this weekend if the weather holds out. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

Thanks all! Lance and good quality snowfoam product purchased, fingers crossed they both arrive in time for the weekend as I would love to give the new motor its first wash!

HI All, This may be a daft question, but I have the Karcher K2 home and car pressure washer - https://www.kaercher.com/uk/home-garden/pressure-washers/k2-compact-car-home-16731250.html#oQdRC0sDDJSip4Ko.97. Will I be able to use a proper snowfoam product with this? I have used the stuff it came with on previous cars and it didn't seem to foam too much, so looking to get a proper product. Thanks

My tracker via vw.co.uk has now changed to the final step, the countdown is on for the 3rd December for collection day. A long time coming, but hopefully worth the wait

Taz - How long did yours take from changing to "in transit" on the tracker? Mine has just swapped over this morning, -
Looks very very nice! Can't wait to be part of the DBP club! How do I organise the initiation? haha

I believe it means that you got the Sat-Nav, heated seats, parking sensors and a few other things as standard Feel free to correct me if I am wrong...
-
Is this still on the cards? Picking mine up 3rd December, so should still be shiny and new!
-
Welcome! Lovely looking car!
-
Didn't think I would be able too. Not too worry, still managed to get a pretty good price in my opinion. Less than 8 weeks to go now. The wait has been killing me.
