Re: fog lights
It's probably illegal to not be able to switch them off without switching off all your other lights and the Police certainly don't take too kindly to it.. Might as well buy the switch with the front fog position and wire it to that if you're going to bother going to the trouble of wiring them in at ...

Re: lamborghini gallardo correction detail
So the question is - how much did this cost to do? I suppose once you've got all your products you can do a couple of cars but the time taken must be considerable? I'd love to get the swirl marks out of my car but I reckon that I'd end up spending a fortune on the products, only to find I didn't man...

Re: 2 Weeks of Passat ownership and.................
Went out in mine the other week - weather like it is now - and was following a mate in his Golf Mk5 (same as what I owned before). Followed him into a roundabout thinking nothing of it and the car decided to go straight on, mounting the kerb, taking a chunk out of the tyre and damaging the wheel qui...

Didn't see you this morning but as you say, it's quite a small window of opportunity! And if you're in stealth mode, you're more likely to catch a glimpse of me wearing shorts and a bright orange t-shirt than I am to catch a glimpse of you!

Just seen a Bentley Continental Flying Spur on Fifth Gear do a 13.4 (I think) at just a touch over 100mph at the Pod - made me laugh that a Passat could pretty much keep up with it

I didn't spot who was driving but I didn't assume it was you! Shame I didn't see the R36 (I showed a couple of guys in the office the pictures you put up) but I work away a lot and I'm not very often in the Ashford office and even if I am, I'll generally go on the motorbike 'cos it's cheaper :wink: ...

Robs W8 (Again!)
Eurogate Business Park in Ashford, going into the KCC underground parking - I work in unit 2 across the road!
Saw the motor out of the corner of my eye and heard the burble as it went past - made me smile a bit!
I think I'll store up my 'spots' of your car and post them all together in the future ;)

Re: Comfort-Turn" upgrade kit "
Got this kit fitted in mine, got it from eBay but added up all the parts and asked my local dealer and it came to more.. I've had 2 problems with it - firstly, it doesn't fit that well down the side of the MFD unit because the wires aren't that long and it piggybacks on the hazard warning switch, so...
