Lunch break on a site I was working at this week; one of the sparkies, who I've know for years was ranting about his VW - one of the ones that's just be added to the list of affected models, I let him spout self righteous crap about how deceived and hard done to he was now, how he'd chose the model believing what VW had told him and a whole Olympic length speech that could have come straight from The Guardian. Must have gone on a good five minutes before he stopped to properly draw breath and launch into the rest of his tirade. So while the brew hut was stoney silent, I just casually asked, "Paul, didn't you drive your brand new diesel straight to the chip tuners on the way home from collecting it, to get the engine re-mapped? Didn't you say you'd had the highest performance one that "turned off all the emissions bulls***"?" Needless to say everyone was taking the pee out of him the rest of the afternoon...

Awww... I quite enjoy the pointless speculation, jumping to conclusions, nagging the CompSec for info he hasn't got yet, and complaining when answers don't come quick enough or someone's bought stuff before the final rules are out. You're no fun any more.

And of course, no kit car owner would ever do something on their car just to get it through IVA, or MoT, then change it after... Perish the thought. That said, I find it incredible VW never considered the inevitability that they would be caught. Not very bright at all. Jen

Thanks to those who came along today. 26 cars joined in. It was never going to be a blat with that many (and wives) but it was a great day over some cracking roads. Bob

Actually had me almost in tears watching this. When the guy hits the brakes the passenger looks like a cartoon character! Car sounds so so good too.
