...so, car back from bodyshop, and due to VW / Volvo / Renault related reliability in the family at the moment, i pressed the coupe into a 100 mile commute.
observations;
- just how bl**dy sh*te are the standard headlights at 6am?! i could not beleive it, turned them off a couple of times to ensure they were on!
- how much does a "normal" person watch the oil pressure gauge in traffic - i could not take my eyes off of mine, it sat pretty much a 3bar under load, 2.5/2bar hot idle - though did flutter down to 1.5 at one point - is this anything to worry about?
- yes the mirrors and turning circle are a massive hindrance and surprise to reacquaint with after a period of driving other cars.
- no window can be passed without a sneaky sideways glance of true poetry in motion :-)
anyone got any other observations / thoughts....
