What did you and your MK2 do today?

[Smee]

if the police stop you just get out with a bucket of water and pretend its on fire

Haha. IMO the top grill would look pretty good with a red glow, provided you couldn't see the light bulbs themselves.

 

[Rob_Talisman]

Yeah thats what i wanted. Top grill glow. See what happens if i get pulled n what they say. Not keen on the lower grill massively.

N dont want a white glow in the grill.

Ive seen a local car with the knight rider flashing red light that goes left to right in the grill.

Looks like a take on those tacky neon under lights. Really not a fan.

 

[Crafoo]

Looks.....erm......festive, that's about as kind as I can be mate sorry, cheapens the look of the car imo.

Trip said 61.4mpg for my 140 mile journey yesterday, cruise control set to about 77mph apart from when there was other speed restrictions. Happy with that

I tanked mine other day and been driving like a granny to work and back not gone above 3000rpm and I average usually 68mpg 20 mile journey each way. Currently done 300 miles and not down to half and currently shows 380 miles left on range.

Had the local detailer come round and give the car a hand enhancement and winter protection more photos on my thread.

Really impressed at how much better the paint work looks now, he's coming back in the spring to do a 1 or 2 stage enhancement.

He has done a really nice job with that Andrew. Who did you use?

How do you guys do it?!
I've honestly really tried my best. Even over >80 mile run. I can barely force it over 50.
I thought it was my alignment , but since that has been corrected, still only get a few mpg more.

I've given up and just boot it everywhere now when I drive the car. So does Helen.

You can't enjoy a car if you're worried about mpg

I aren't worried about mpg just wonder what this engine can actually achieve. There's one part of the motorway for 2 miles which is average 50 and down hill so u can knock it out of gear and not slow down or leave it in 6th and still shows 200mpg. I find 60-65 MPH is the best just under 2000rpm.

i'm averaging in the mid to high 40's just now. i don't go with the mpg display, tend to leave it on the predicted range. i just gauge roughly how long it takes to go down, i've found it seems to like going at about 75ish. my own hare brained theory is that the engine is more efficient when it's using the turbo, below that it seems to labour.

i'm probably wrong though.

 

[AndrewJB]

I've tried when driving to Scotland on M-Way sticking it on cruise but it just averages out at 30-32mpg that's at 80mph.

I know. That's why we're getting a CupraR. Enjoyment comes in the form of the smell of plentiful burnt petrol
