nickg123 0 Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 I probably do it nearly once every trip, but only in 2nd gear, and then it's a case of slowing down again (4th Gear @ 40mph is a good one) to save a bit on fuel etc as this car is supposed to be saving me money............ i said "supposed" ok? lol Link to post Share on other sites

Pittuf 0 Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 When ever I get the chance, traffic is too slow in the mornings, but a blast down the A12 on the way home from work is always good for morale :-) Link to post Share on other sites
Geastb 0 Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 I've got a nice 12 mile dual carrige way on the way to and from work so she always gets a blast at some point on the journey - its just great to see the faces of the other commuters when my little golf blasts past them (expecially the people in the really expensive cars! lol) Link to post Share on other sites
