but it isn't enough..

What are these wheels?

The important questions are

1) Does the S model have exercise windows in the back?
2) Does the jack create an A&E visit?
3) Will the handbrake get stuck on at traffic lights?
4) Will we get wet computers when it rains?

With previous cars with simple engines I've liked to have a go myself, changing exhausts on 2CVs, swapping carburetors on Golfs, swapping alternators on various things... but as my cars have got more complex I've started to leave it to the mechanics. I wouldn't know where to plug the laptop in to on...

Can't work out if this is real R36 or a convincing copy..

I did, and won! But it was a right pain in the backside.

I was secretly hoping for some sort of big comedy hammer to emerge from their screen and smash them over the head.

I had a similar problem recently.

Listed an item for sale.

Person wins item, immediately messages to say they don't want it.

THAT'S NOT HOW EBAY WORKS

Then they give me negative feedback...

Good info guys, thanks!

Looks like I need to be more vigilant about checking the For Sale threads!

Anyone know a cure for immediate car jealousy?

Greetings! I'm after a load liner for my B6 saloon. The "proper" VW one is about ten million pounds so that's a no-go. If I go to eBay and look, there's so many it's hard to know. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=passat+load+liner+B6&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m...

Bonjour!

Those are some miles... 250,000 if you're in English money

Brilliant! See you run your own valeting company... handy!

Very tidy already! Someone's been busy with the wax....

I love this car.

Nice B6.95

My B6 had a winter check yesterday at the main dealers, got a winter kit of out it too, plus they replaced the handbrake button in warranty AND washed it

Spotted near the M&S entrance at the back of the centre.... UKP stickers in the rear windows. Big wheels on it. Security guard asked me what I was doing making a note of the registration

I bought the Megs stuff in the end, looks pretty good. Not exactly dealership-spec shiny but I think I need to clean the sidewalls better before I apply it.

Possibly with an armoured personnel carrier of some sort?

Auto-hold for us B6/7 folks

Can't tell if serious or trolling....

Welcome to the B6 massive! I have a 110PS saloon also. Very happy with it.

I'm interested in updating the stereo too 'cos the basic jobbie is a bit dull...

Cheers everyone!!

Hi folks I've had my car a while and really missing what it looked like when I picked it up from VW! I've been using Auto Glym vinyl and rubber care on my sidewalls because it looks "okay" but it's more of an interior/plastics thing and tends to wear off fast. Anyone got any recommendation...

Thanks for that, it's a good starting point. I'd be looking at cars around 2006-2008 I think. I like the full leather Sport seats so that's something to look out for. That might sound fussy, but the ST220 has heated leather Recaros, and I've grown quite attached to them, so would like something com...

Hopefully this helps. Latterly the models changed so it really depends on what year you're looking at.
