:sad1:
Well after a couple of days with rain and stormy weather i decided on getting the wintertyres on the car.
Now it's time to plan next years mods :drinking:
-
which are? :innocent:
-
Does anyone store their pride and joy for the winter?
I wonder what sort of mileage people on here are averaging per year?
I've just turned 30k on my 2007 Ed 30.
I won't be using it in the crappy weather especially now it's cleaned up.

No. The GTI demands to be driven. Even in snow!
-
Yup -driven everywhere all the time - haven't got the luxury of it being a second car. 30k on my 2008 here, although this pales into insignificance when looking at SteveP's mileage!
-
driven all the time done 17k in 12 months. as for the mk2 that only does about 6k a year.
-
I had to scrape ice from the windows this morning for the first time this autumn/winter!!! It was -0.5 on the display!

We are lucky enough not to have to use our Ed in the crappy weather too! Just had it's annual service this morning 2148 miles, since new! :happy2:
-
Wow, -0.5, I'm glad I'm not oop North... it's still coldish down here and pissing it down with rain.
I'm thinking about getting some steelies for the winter.
...mostly just for looks, admittedly...

Minus figures already? Brrrrrr no chance here in Cornwall, still warm thank god
I do annually wish for snow down here but rarely get it, ive owned .:R's for a while and never met the snow in them :ashamed:
-
im looking foward to some snow to see what my new ps2's and LSD can do :surprised:
-
Mine get used daily, by the wife and kids, not sure why you would want to limit the mileage in an ED30, it's an everyday car and meant to be used. Had mine just over two months and covered 4500 miles in it. Mind you 2000 was on my trip to the south of France.
Loving every minute of it as well.

The R is amazing in the snow mate! I just drove up a slope all the FWD'ers had to stay down the bottom as they kept sliding back :signLOL:

green with envy dude, might drive up country and find some this year, my eldest is 11 and never played in snow :laugh:

:surprised: Really? I've been playing in snow since I was 4 (I can't remember any earlier than that) and this was in Birmingham!
-
which are? :innocent:
mk. 6 steering wheel, arb, hopefully peloquin/quaife+ clutch. Dreams are there, now i'll better get saving. Oh and also new summer tires, looking at Toyo proxes r1r eventhough i never liked toyos, alternatively yoko neova ad08, awaiting prices on both :laugh:

In the winter I get my other half to drive me everywhere in the 500. Save Loads on petrol, and plenty of overtime also as im a gas engineer, meaning plenty of mods for the car ready for the summer. Winter does have its advantages lol.
