Mines done 123,000 and, as far as I know, has the original clutch (blobeye). Not bad considering it's my daily driver, and, my track day steedbow It also has to put up with size 12's heel-and-toe!laugh

As for any useage, my partners daughter went off to Uni at the weekend so mine was used to cart some of her stuff down (we had to take two cars). I was amazed at how much these kids bring with them. Amongst the typical family cars crammed to the roof, I saw two VW transporter hire vans and a long wheel base Transit at the campus. God only knows what they thought they need, and how on earth they could fit it all into a student box room rolleyes
This is reassuring! smile

I got the p1 measured up for a sport cat and new backbox.

Also stopped in to chat to a body shop about sorting the rusty bumper hangers and repaint the front bumper.

On the lookout for p1 mats and gearknob...

I got hold of a cheap set of Blobeye rear clusters (well, being delivered soon) this week. If they arrive tomorrow I will be fitting them to the Bug.

Car wasn't running great for a bit AFM was knackered and turbo was on its last legs.

Fitted a modified TD05 that was converted to front entry and had it mapped by Andy Forrest. Running great now smile

Just last week I picked up a set of 2nd hand 16" wheels so that I can swap from low profile 17's to 16's with proper winter tyres in the next few months.

Oh and I was out a run on Sunday through some lovely scottish countryside with a good few other PHers

Rear clusters arrived last night. I spent the evening looking at the box, so tonight i will actually begin the process of removing them from said box.

Too late, I've only gone and fitted them. Most happy!



...and the Nurburgring boot sticker. Well, the boot went round the 'ring, I bought the boot and spoiler together and swapped for mine!
