The Best ///M/Barge/General Rant/Look at this/O/T(Vol XIX)

Fulvia or GTA

320d will be more entertaining to drive. Well as entertaining as a new diesel estate can be, and I don't mean that in a derogatory sense. C220d will be a nicer place to sit and is better made. Garmin navigation is st compared to Comand, but Comand isn't cheap. It's in the Premium Plus Pack though which is nice to have. Base SE is poverty, Sport is nice and AMG Line has extra toys and looks better. 250d engine goes well, but then the budget starts to creep.

Audi A4 is the dullest, doesn't do anything badly but doesn't do anything really well either.

My mate just bought a 2012 cayenne diesel and seems to be getting 50mpg on the motorway if anyone is interested.

Wow. My Touareg does 30 at push and that's basically the same car... though I don't potter along at 70

Just watching the highlights of the Spa 6 hours... it bloody snowed!

Love the SZ, Fulvia is personal favourite but not keen on that 330 in lunch tray white.

Were the highlights on the tellybox somewhere?

Your mate may have come up with a way of reversing global warming.

YouTube is superb, live VLN a couple of weeks ago as well, they show the 24 hours live also. Get the app for your smart TV.

It has got me thinking of some different garments as snow at Spa, and the Nordschleife for the past 2 races has had snow and torrential rain.

1 week to go and rather hoping for a sunny weather bomb to hit the Ardennes!

I have got Youtube on my tv (I know, tweed meets tech), I'll have a look and see if/whats still on there to watch.

Impressive!

My BIL's V8S Diesel does more than my Touareg, but not 50!

So on one hour long jaunt with the cruise set at 64mph the OBC records 50mpg.

From experience, I'd recommend a cycling poncho! I kid you not. They're cheap, light and stow easily and on a small seat, or if you crouch a bit, you've got your own little one man tent. I never go to Spa without it. Seems to be a local favourite, too.

Do they do tweed ponchos

[ferrisbueller]

Yours would drag on the floor tbf.

Of course.

This one has tweed detailing.


Or this one is full on tweed (but doesn't look very waterproof).

The thing with that is that's a picture of Loon actually wearing it.
