I looked into www.openvehicles.com for when the app for the Mii stops working, I’d need to do further research though.

The new CLA with the LED grille is also gopping.

If/when I get mine back on the road, I want to do something like this, if only to make it suitable for our potholed roads.

Darn thing is trying my patience again though.

Old RS4 was ~1750kg. We’re heading in the wrong direction.

Presuming there’s no underlying damage, I’ve repaired worse on a driveway with panels off eBay. It’s surprisingly easy if you have a basic set of tools.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a miss-spaced NI plate before.

There’s a lot of screens going on there! I can’t be the only one who turns off the infotainment screen when it gets dark?

‘robot having a panic attack’ may be the best description I’ve ever heard for a semi auto gearbox.

Snapped the tie rod by the look of it. Probably hit the wheel at just the right angle to break it.

I got in a very rare (for me) argument on a VW forum once, because a guy trying to flog a diesel Serena described it as ‘nippy’, so I quoted the acceleration figures at him.

Found a clip of it, that’s a good example.

Maybe it was to save us from Aston owners with 007 plates?

I’m pretty sure none of the prefix plates had a number starting with a zero, so it’ll be PO09.

Needed new fronts on our Mii. For a small car, they’re pretty pricey as they’re an unusual size, narrow and low profile.

Went with a cheaper option, and regretting it already, on damp roads it spins the wheels on anything more than half throttle.

1.3 diesel, that’s going to be slow when it’s fully loaded.

Saturday night, got a puncture in the A4, repaired it in time to get a puncture in the Mii tonight. Same wheel both times.

I’d always assumed it was sold under the Opel badge as well, didn’t know it wasn’t.
