I Year Old Today

Well " Olly the Octy is one year old today.

Still makes me smile when I have a road to play on.

I've just done 700 miles in a brand new rental 1.8lx Mondeo in the far north of Scotland and missed my Octy at every sweeping bend and Camper Van I encountered.

Stats so far 39,000 miles covered ave mpg 36(not bad for non-tractor car)

2 suprise visits to dealer (coil packs and an ecu error with Skoda uk involved, all resolved quickly )

Still looks like new inside but a few to many paint chips for my liking

Now wearing premacy boots alround, half the noise of the bridgestones.

Light assist thing and autowipers still annoy though

2.0 FSI Elegence Coridda Red ESP Maxidot and Light Thingy

Mine's got exactly 2 weeks to go. [2.0FSI manual]. No warranty work [except a pretend job supposed to fix the door seal, which is not too bad now anyway.] Only coming up for 8000 miles though. Not that unhappy with Bridgestones - might try others when they wear out but that shouldn't be for two years yet! No complaints at all really.

Just did my road tax renewal on line- works real neat! No more queueing up at post offices.
