Scirocco Central

Yeah hopefully the insurance company will pull their finger out - have had to temporarily insure/tax one of my old mk3 golfs - 16v gti so shouldn't be too sad just to get to work and back etc. Just got estimate back from VW Repair Centre - just under 3k - 2-4 weeks of work. Which sucks, have only ha...

The snow has gotten the better of mine, through no fault of my own. Setting off to go sledding with friends earlier, roads hvae frozen icey snow all over them - nightmare out here in the "arse end of nowhere" as my girlfriend calls it. Anyway pootling along at a safe 15mph till I got out o...

Excellent! Thanks for the advice guys - will deffo get some decent product come payday (annoyingly the 15th of the month). Gave it a just a good shampoo and dry this evening and here are the pics, sorry for the messy yard area... in one of them you can see my poor old mk3 golf in the background :( i...

Have been far too busy :driver: it! Will get some taken this evening after I give it a quick wash - stupid rain has left little dried up drop marks all over it! And the stupid lanes I live down have covered the front in bugs already :( :( Need to buy a load of new car care products clearly as I only...

Only a 140 - but its easily quick enough, plenty of torque etc - I was a bit annoyed after the 170 came out that I hadn't ordered one of those - but to be honest I can now see I don't really need one :) Assuming it's a MY2010, does it have chrome tailpipes (as the 170 does)? No not shiny chrome jus...

Ahhhhh it's everything I was expecting and more! Drives so beautifully, I'm chuffed to bits with it! Spoke to the Fleet Sales guy where it came from - he's sticking the cable in the post today :) Glad I went for the Dynaudio package - the sound is excellent. Doing my best not to plant my foot all th...

Its here, its all mine! Unfortunately I don't have an ipod cable, the MDI cable is there but no cable to connect it to my iPod :( everything else is spot on! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: iAmbu - Clearly a southwest Scirocco owners meetup in the pipeline! I might even be cruising through later (quite ...

Finally! VW Delivery driver just rang, he will be here at 10am! Only 30 minutes to go - I've put my shoes on early so I can go out and meet him straight away, I can't believe how excited I am - it's like being little at Christmas again! Hopefully I won't drool all over it :shake: PICS : http://www.f...

Wow even tho its seemed such a long time already I guess I did ok with my order, put order with leasing company on 15th April, and delivery is 7th of July, 1 week from now, so just under 12 weeks total :D Can't wait either, was really hoping for it this Friday but guess another few days it will have...

Bah it won't be here in time for the weekend. But at least I have a properly confirmed delivery date now, Tuesday (1 weeks time) - just in time for me to drive to NASS festival in it hopefully \o/ But still frustrating as i had a trip planned this weekend and now I have to use the gas guzzling 4x4 f...

Haha, I wish! Bah its dragging like crazy, only a few days to go, my insurance is all sorted already and I have the day off. It better turn up in time for me to go for a nice drive in the sun (if theres any left by Friday). I want to scour the RCD510 manual to find the pinouts and how/where/if I can...

Fantastic Prelude, I can't wait either, my right foot is itching ready!

Just got another email with my car reg' in it \o/

Just got a call from leasing company... it's on a boat

Hopefully if all goes to Plan Friday next week, finally the fog is lifting!

Just got an email from my leasing company: "Your car is on the dock side waiting to be driven onto the ship so hopefully we should have it by late next week early part of the week after and we can get it straight out to you when it gets here" \o/ \o/ \o/ Whenever it arrives won't be soon e...

Good to hear things are nearing completion for you! Im in a similar boat... I just got an email from my leasing company this morning suggesting 2.5 to 3.5 weeks till delivery, probably the latter knowing my luck. Its really starting to drag at the moment as I can't wait! Been driving my dads 4x4 abo...

Hey thanks for everyone's help and advice, unfortunately my insurance company wasn't interested in extending my current policy to cover, and my MOT bill would have been over £100 - so in the end i got the old man to add me as a named driver for 30days to his Shogun insurance (he has a company car he...

Thanks guys - will look into renting.

Tried short term insurance and the best I could get with the modifications I have was like £650 for the period I needed it... same price as a year!

I might just get added to my dads truck insurance as mentioned as thats probably the cheapest option.

(Sorry if this seems like its in the wrong forum - please move if so) Hey Everyone, Wonder if anyone could help me with some ideas here... Scirocco order (lease) has seemingly "slipped" a few weeks, which leaves me with a bit of a problem. Originally I was advised it should be arriving the...

Awesome looking vehicle! I might just be saying that because its what I have on order but after seeing your pictures im so glad I went for the Rising Blue.. can't wait for damn thing to arrive, just really want to drive it!
