This wasn't a group ride. Just me and another friend.

It's nothing special looks wise, identical to this:

[lvlshot]https://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NjAwWDgwMA==/z/Rz8AAOSwW9NZ41WA/$_58.JPG[/lvlshot]

originally I wanted one of the Blackline Skoda Octavia estates but after testing this, which is like shit off a shovel, the practicality of the boot as well as it being about the most comfortable car seat I've ever sat in made it no contest. I tried a Golf too but they're so inflated on price because of the badge is hard to get a decent deal.

Looks very like a very practical A to B car :up:

Are you planning to chip it?

By the way, I'm a bit surprised you guys rarely post pics of your actual car. It's not that hard to go snap a pic with your phone, no?

Yes, especially true for the younger ones with caps on backwards.

Cool, looks like a fun trip. Wish we had warmer weather over here, I was out on my bike the other day in just below freezing temperature. Still had fun.

I have bought Dyson vacs for years, ever since the first model and only the canister ones.
