Thread hijack eh ?.

Thanks for letting me know Gra-GT.

I did order mine with ESP and climate so I knew it
was going to be a while. Just annoyed that I was told
I would get it before xmas and still waiting without a
date, the dealer does not seem to know if it has been shipped
over yet.

Have been driving my partners Ka for the last couple of
month's so looking forward to driving something decent.

Not much difference in the weight.

Your only bitter cos I got heated leather, cruise, auto wipers, esp......

At least he wont be wearing a grampa bunnet and smoking a pipe! In that big family car

Those things dont bother me, your just bitter cus you havent got a rear wiper, under seat drawers, climatic AC, lane changing indicators (I know you like those!!) He he

Oh yeah and well said Polo-03

Nout wrong with the bog 'ole Bora - it'll go like deep-fried sh1zzle off a teflon shovel in 3rd and 4th but IMO Gra-GT you have the weight advantage and therefore the ever-so-slightly-faster car, even if only by inches

What are these lane-changing indicators then?

p*** take response would be -

facility fitted to most cars to communicate to other road users an iminent change of lane and rarely used

Serious response would be -

at a guess a touch the stalk for a pre-set number of flashes before it self cancels

Thats right, flick the stalk down part way and the indicator flashes 3 times then stops. They're pretty handy considering I do about 60-70 miles a day motorway driving. I know jrw had them in his Polo before he swapped it for a Bora so it takes a bit of getting used to when you cant do it anymore. They are standard on the GT and SPORT models but dont know about the models below.

Oh and Si GTI, your right, I might only just about beat him but barely, but he was challenging me so I had to exagerate a bit

They are standard on all polos (ive had enough courtesy cars to know!)

If you weren't bothered about them then Gra why did you want the winter pack? and dont say for the big washer bottle cos thats not the reason!

You don't wanna put stuff in my huuuugggeeee boot then when we go camping at the car shows, ie tent, beer, food, beer, food, beer, food...

But remember and pack your anorak, welly boots, scarf, gloves, Pipe, slippers oh and heated blanket for when its cold! And some nappies cos you know what old folk are like they always pish themselves!

Plus remember on the way there please stick to the left of the motor way

Why would I want to stick to the left cos i'd be undertaking everyone then. You don't mention what model of Poolo yours is??

Also I don't need a heated blanket cos I got heated seats

Uh dont spit your dummy I'm only kidding you on!
Sadly my polo is ver very slow but hey it does the speed limit and thats all I care bout Honest!

Thought for a second it was gonna be another thread locked

Gotta admit the Bora's boot is huuuugggeeee like jrw says - bigger than my bedroom! it just keeps on swallowing up the luggage...

Here's the parent's ride:



Note the massive boot there

Had a bit of a run out against the Bora the other day actually, and have to say I had my work cut out to keep on her tail that torque just keeps her going and going... only one downside as standard - TDI engine keeps the nose down at the front, but check out the rear arch gap

I like Boras.

Only joshing polo-03.

Bora's handle loads better than the equiv Golf Mk4 anyway.
