Oh sorry Huw.. Did I grab the wrong picture? I just took it from Google pics. I said it wasn't mine.

Ah the felicia. I had one of those but it wasn't a diesel. I had it from new for eight years and gave it to one of my boys. That one averaged about 40 to the gallon being old fashioned petrol and all. Until now I never had a diesel, because they used to stink. These VW diesels are completely free of stink or smoke and she pulls like a train from about 1100 rpm up to 5000, which I never go near in fact. I think it's only turning at about 2700 at 70mph. I still can't get over the fact that I'm averaging about 60 to the gallon even though I've had the thing three years.

Is this any better? It's an estate like mine with a long back on it. My own is too dirty to take a picture of.
