what did you and your mk3 leon do today

[brentnall]

The landscape there looks awesome!
Where abouts is it?

The car also looks great out there in its element, even with the silly skewed camera angles (sorry im not a fan of the weird half-sideways shots, esp the last one )

 

[thedigitalage]

Oh yes - it's amazing. I know what you mean about the angles, the last one was tough not to as there's a fence behind me and the only way to fit it all in was to angle it haha. No excuse for the top photo!

The roads I tend to use is Richmond to Reeth and out to Gunnerside, then back over to Hawes. Great roads and to be fair even on a Sunday isn't that busy. I got stuck behind 3 cars for about 5 miles and that was it. I saw it as an opportunity for car to cool

Kin ell that's good.we've both clean licences , no accidents in last 5 etc, she has full ncb. I don't get any because of company car. Although apparently it will go down when we get married..... I cover 50k work and the last Leon did around 15k a year. And we're (well I am) 'mature'.......

 

[andrewpain]

bloody postcodes. mine is Stevenage area code, although we live 20 miles away in Bedfordshire countryside we still get loaded for Stevenage's reputation for car crime...which is well-deserved, admittedly.

You weren't kidding about the accelerator pad, took me the best part of 30 mins to get it completely on.

Before I buy a set, can I please ask if they offer better grip? My foot slips quite a lot if my sole is wet regardless to what I wear.

My VCDS lead arrived on Friday. So far I've disabled the stop start (bordering on dangerous on a DSG), enabled needle sweep on start up, carbon effect dash, auto fold mirrors on locking, enabled cornering fogs, enabled alarm chirps, enabled rear DRL's, and added a lap timer!

 

[Ocularis]

Gave it a quick clean from the midnight run I did, and changed a couple of vcds things (folding mirrors and auto fan speed)... ill do the rest later

Well my feet didn't slip in the original pedals & don't slip on these!

Sorry? In what way is it dangerous?

At a busy junction. You see a gap & by the time you've taken your foot off the brake, the engine takes a second or two to fire up & the gap's gone.

That seems strange pal, mine starts immediately. The engine is always running by the time my foot hits the accelerator. Did you know that if you release a little of the pressure on the brake pedal just before you stop it'll keep it running anyway? That way it's ready when you are!

Mine has just been bathed and new carpet mats fitted.
