How long did it take you?

How long did it take me? - 2 speeding tickets, both for 93 mph slowed me down. But I always drive according to the conditions, both road surface and traffic, and am absolutely rigid in keeping to all 20/30/40 limits.
I'm so glad that I've had the experience of driving my GTI in Europe, especially Germany - 70 feels like 30 when you first get off the Eurotunnel back into the UK - Much more stressful driving in the UK than Europe.
When you know you've got the power it's much easier to relax and be patient. It's all about position and distance and being totally focussed - That's why I never play music or radio while driving.

I never drive/drove my Ed30 like a maniac :innocent: Having said that, I strating driving a lot more carefully and with a lot more ease after I had the Ed30 remapped :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

I thought you were from Birmingham given your reviews of Solihull VW :rolleye: But then it explains why you went to JKM for the RR day and I thought you'd driven all the way down from the Midlands :grin: :grin: :grin:

When I had the ED30 I found it very hard not to open it up on a daily basis :evilgrin: However now I have a diesel I don't have a lot of power so I hardly seem to give it the beans because if I do im massively dissappointed. I think if the powers there it is very hard not to redline it on a daily basis :evilgrin:
