What just happened?

I've just got back from a bit of a drag race me and 2 friends had on a runway, and I'm gobsmacked! I was in my standard Scirocco, one friend in a standard Nissan Skyline GTR R34, and another in a standard Focus ST.... And I left both of them! The focus just seemed to be getting further and further a...

Re: NNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Apparently the X-ray didn't show up any breaks, but there is blood and fat under my patella, which apparently is the type of swelling consistent with a broken bone. However I also had symptoms of a torn cruciate ligament, so I've got to have an MRI scan to find out exactly what it is.

Re: NNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Either torn my cruciate ligament, or fractured my kneecap. I'm going to be in a full leg cast for 6 weeks :(

Re: Deep black 2.0tsi here! PICS! (scroll down)

Meant to say, I did a 14 mile trip yesterday evening from cold, and I managed to get an average of 45.5mpg by driving like a saint! The temptation was there but I had to resist it! I also beat an 08 plate Porsche Boxster off the lights today, not sure whether it was just him getting a poor start or ...

Re: Deep black 2.0tsi here! PICS! (scroll down)

Haha, definitely a cooler version of Kitt! Thanks for the comments, I personally wouldn't have actually gone for black but it was the only one which they had in stock and I needed it asap! Now I've got it I'm really pleased though, the metallic fleck in the paint is gorgeous, it's gold and blue. And...

IT'S HERE!!! :clap: I'm in love. Took these pics just after giving her a coat of Zymol. Let me know what you think! Everything is almost perfect, my steering wheel is slightly wonky, and the day after I got it I got a warning light on to say the rear nearside reverse light wasn't working! http://i38...

Mats from a MK5 Golf?

Hi all, I'm picking up my Scirocco tomorrow and I wanted to get some mats for it. I spoke to the guy at VW and he said that they'd discovered that mats from a MK5 golf will fit. They're £30 cheaper but obviously don't say 'Scirocco' on them. Can anyone confirm that they definitely will fit? Many tha...

Obviously this cou...
