Cheers for the offer craig, but am going in august again, dont think i could afford 2 trips. Started gathering loads of bits for a rebuild in the next few months. 1.9 :)

Will keep an eye out on here and vagcars to see how you get on tho.

Cool, 1.9 rebuild should be good. I was thinking about two 'Ring trips whis year but then you work out a 4 day trip is around £700(ish) not to mention the costs of general wear parts on the car. If the ferry was a little cheaper I'd be there all the time :D

Gave the car a really good clean the other day and glad I did, broke both elbows and possibly a wrist on Thursday night so i'm out of action for a few weeks at least.

Well all my life people have been talling me how dangerous motorbikes and fast cars are, yet I go ice skating and cripple myself, haha!! Not as it it's the first time I've been, and had been there a few hours before doing it too.

I'm sticking to high speeds and things with wheels its far safer!

Been back in it for the last few weeks, so it's all good.

Warranty claims aren't too bad on the later ones due to the Toyota engine, hopefully it will only need to go back for daft things like the rear LED lights are a common problem and they've just brought out a new updated version which I'll be requesting. Dealer seems quiet willing, there is the usual 'They all do that sir...' answer at times mind but you get that with any garage.

Got some good pictures taken by others an VW Summer Nights + The Big Fat Tour, here they are;

Somethings lurking in the back ground, not as if it stands out though!!

Late reply of the century, getting mid to low 8:XX's on a track with an average amount of traffic. On the busier days it really does vary know there was a few high 8:XX's and low 9:XX's when there was lots of traffic and yellow flag sections, not to mention the speed restriction through the road works!!!

Going back there in April, July and October this year.
