Re: Irish Scirocco

Nice irish colour but the irish roads would make mincemeat of that clearance in the first ten minutes.
Otherwise, I'd be lowering too :p

iPhone 4S may give true hands free driving...

Fair point on the servers when retrieving Internet data but it hopefully simplifies local operations such as setting reminders, starting calls and even sending quick texts when you attention is rightly on the road.

iPhone 4S may give true hands free driving...

Based on what I've read about the new iPhone announced today, the new voice recognition could be a great addition to those of us who have used the iPhone with Voice Control. The "Siri" software will take natural speech and convert it into texts, reminders or call commands. http://www.apple...

A safe way to race the police in your Scirocco

Fiddling around with the new Driver - San Francisco game and they have an R in it.
Had a little "race" with the fuzz..
Not the punchiest acceleration compared with real life but easier on the insurance :p

Not sure about the headlight mod but nice chance to fling it around with no consequences..

Opinions on official Volkswagen Bluetooth hands free system?

Sounds like a definite option. I'd prefer to keep the existing RCD310 radio but it's not a dealbreaker if it's not compatible with it in any way.

I work on software user interfaces and most radios drive me batty with their layout decisions. I'm looking at you Kenwood BT8041U :)

Opinions on official Volkswagen Bluetooth hands free system?

So after having the Roc for a few months, I've tried various ways to use the iPhone 4 cheaply with it. 1. Balance it on my lap on speakerphone...Dangerous and a disaster 2. Use the headphone port to play the music from iPhone until call comes in. Very echoey experience for the other person 3. Bought...

I do the Galway - Dublin cruise-control fest most weekends though I still vote for this as the most fun you can have without other traffic. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Maam+Cross,+Ireland&daddr=Leenane,+Ireland+to:Lecknavarna,+Ireland&hl=en&geocode=Fd-rLwMd9m...

Lovely drive down there even if the road floods quite a bit in Clare.

One thing the West has is beautiful scenery to distract you from the pothole thats destroying your tyres :)

Slightly weird cleaning issue - Help/Advice Welcome

Hello All, I had a bottle of flaxseed oil which was in the driver side pocket and unfortunately leaked down and dripped over the door sill. I initially thought it was tar that was sticking to the underside and used some AutoGlym tar dissolver on patches but it obviously didn't seem to be very effect...

Re: Which is the Scirocco's best angle?

You mean this one? :)

Think the car is very sensitive to even slight changes in angles. Tricky to snap consistently.
