Scirocco Central

Well I'm 6'4" and 20 plus stones and I fit in and out of the Scirocco easier than I did in my previous BMW1 Series M Sport 3rd. The wheelchair fits better in the hatch, although the wheels must come off to use it with the rear passenger seat in position. At least we now have the option of carry...

Thing will change. Merry Christmas!!!

De badging wasnt done as ordered

Neither was mine and at collection, I was told it couldn't be done, despite the salesman sitting looking at a debadged Scirocco the other side of his desk! They're going to collect and return the car as I'm also a wheelchair user.

"Mine looks similar after one 85 mile trip up the A19"

That's 'cos you drive through the land of Smog...

Yet again, seeing it in VG, makes me think I've made a mistake ordering RB... Gorgeous!

I use Tesco 99 Ron....always have, it's greeaaaaat.

As I said earlier. Nice to have it confirmed.

That's lovely! I was going to go for VG but chickened out and went for RB and I know I've made a mistake...

Good luck and enjoy it!

Cheers

The car's on Motability so everything is free but fuel for up to 20K a year. I do around 13K. My other means of "transport" is a wheelchair, as I lost my left leg above the knee in an accident over 3 yrs ago. I also have Bowel Cancer, which spread to my right Kidney and brought on my early...

As both cars have ECUs, I see no reason for it to be different - Scooby ECUs needed at least a tankful before they were reset. I wouldn't chop and change, but as has been said before, each to their own.

Cheers

I get mine free...

I'll be going back to petrol after 3+ years of diesel, and heading for the nearest 99+ octane I can find. I used to run my turbocharged Subarus (7 Imprezas) on the highest octane I could find. The last one (Impreza WRX STi UK PPP) would drop 50 bhp running on 95 RON. I really hacked off my Mother in...

As said before, I'm 6'4" and found no problems on my test drive. I also have size 14 feet and again no problems but I only have one leg, so only one foot to get in the way. If the Scirocco seats are as comfortable as those in my current BMW, I'll be delighted!

I liked the original on PC but preferred Call of Duty on PC. Still play COD2 on Mac. I still have a soft touch for Quake/Q2...

I had a quick look at the on screen 'ad' for it on Amazon, and as you said it looks very iffy. Too floaty, as if the cars we're just flying down the stages. One to avoid - certainly not a patch on CM Dirt/CMD2.

Thanks anyway.

Cheers

the driver, has no control over downshift

I'm sure on the test drive I had, you could change down manually. What kind of gearbox would it be if you couldn't?

Aaah thanks. Will hang on and hope GT5 kick starts my interest again.

Cheers

I ordered mine (1.4 TSi DSG) on 21 July and was told today it won't arrive until the beginning of November. I was also told mine was built and checked but due to industrial action at the factory, it can't be delivered... My current car (BMW 120d M Sport Auto) is or was due to go back today. I had to...

I used to be a big gamer on PC, but I switched over to a Mac and seemed to lose interest (obvious why...). I bought a PS3 during the Summer in the hope the desire to play would return, but it hasn't really. I have quite a few games but I've not played any for a while. I'm not into F1 so didn't bothe...

I was caught back in 1988 doing 122mph on the A1(M) - late for the Match... I got a letter from my disabled Mother and ended up with 3pts and £80.00 fine. I was sooo relieved and the Court was very understanding. Not sure it'd be the same if I hadn't attended and been so contrite. My advice is atten...
