What are you doing today ??

[D41]

Ginger??

Go with charcoal grey/graphite. Or white.

[TonyB]

Hahaha, thanks for your input...

[D41]

Middle.

But it's colour, so entirely subjective.

[TonyB]

That's Onyx Pearl Black or summat...I like that too.

[D41]

You'll be washing it every day, though.

Will it be garaged??

[Deegee]

Any downsides on the Tig that you or the Mrs noticed Tony?

I'm asking as Mrs Gee has previously knocked back a cracking CRV simply because "the handbrake wasn't right" - vertical lever vs horizontal. The Honda had a far better residual value as well.

It'll be on the driveway. I wouldn't choose the black, Just looked really nice.

All the cars we tested were electronic handbrakes with an auto on and off feature. Worked very well, come to a complete stop, put the gear box into N and take feet off pedals and the handbrake goes straight on. Brilliant.

I don't think there's anything Megan didn't like. I didn't like the design of the ac/heater vents but that's not a deal-breaker for me.

Went for a good long walk along the river bank last night. To get some honest miles on the Fitbit... had managed 15000 steps yesterday without much walking lol.... obviously riding the bike all day is good for me. So finished the day on just over 27,000.

[Jack]

trying to organise a quick trip to N.I for a few days for the NW200 .

[Kwacky]

I've got to go down to Hailsham near Eastbourne for a 4pm meeting.

Driving back on the M25at rush hour should be fun

[TonyB]

Enjoy!

[Jack]

cut across to Winchester and come back up the A34 / M40

[Kwacky]

I'll be travelling back about 5.30. I don't think there's going to be a traffic free route back home.

I might go for bite to eat in a local pub and wait for the traffic to die down.

Tony, assuming the handbrake in the Tig is the same system as the Mk7 golf, come to a stop, leave it in drive, press the brake pedal firmly once stopped and watch for the parking brake light to switch from green to red, release foot from brake pedal. When you want to pull away, press the accelerator pedal and it automatically releases the parking brake. No need to change to neutral

Buy an auto with hill hold assist.

It's a manual gearbox.

[Cav]

In that case get the auto

[kiwikrasher]

Trying to keep a low profile in Darwin. Bumped into a bunch of 6' plus work mates and got caught in rounds. 8 pints of cider later I'm in my hotel room and wondering if i should order room service because I not capable of walking to get food.

[D41]

Order some vodka.

Are you still buzzed, or that was last night??
