A couple of months ago I got pulled over by a member of the local constabulary. He was driving a blue falcon and for some reason I remember the plates. They were "RYW22". They were a set of the PPQ V8 ones, with the flames. Anyhoo.... This morning, on my way to work I saw the same plates. On...

Three hours, about $150 and a bucket load of elbow grease.... I washed with an alkaline detergent (the Americans use "Dawn") and then clay bar. For a new car the clay picks up a bucket of garbage. I then polished with the Zaino Z5 Pro. Buffing with a decent polish is fairly easy and doesn't...

With the recent discussions regarding Fuel Consumption, I have started driving around with the "l/100kms" showing on the MFD. Unfortunately, I get to sit in my car for quite some time every morning and afternoon in peak hour traffic. This afternoon I saw the l/100kms start to tick over UPWARDS...

I know there is an ICE discussion, but I am looking for some "localised" responses... Has anyone fitted one of the Alpine Vehicle Hub Pro systems? I have a full AV system in my current car and would like to keep the DVD functionality in the Golf. Sat Nav gives me the screen, but I need some...
