[berg]

ringSPEED - Nurburgring webcams and other utilities
Harrys Lap Timer Pro - Great bit of kit. Should be awesome with the new VBox compatibility.
iSymDVR - Dash cam. Superbly written piece of software. Got my new screen mount for this, to log all my commutes/drives and the horrendous driving i see on the roads daily.

thanks, can you expand a bit on those ie is ring speed only useful if going to the 'ring? and is harry's lap timer pro Harry Metcalfe and what exactly does it record for you?

cheers

Best looking at the descriptions on the App Store to be honest.

Road Trip - logs all fuel fill ups, service costs etc.. ive used this over the last two years to note how much its costing me to run the car, average fuel MPG etc.. great app.

The Ultimate Drive - BMW app, but its a social based application aimed at sharing great driving roads.

Hill climb racing is a totally addictive app, but only a game for big kids!
Auto trader app and ebay app are very useful if you don't already have them.

I use Torque combined with an OBD II bluetooth plug in to get real time engine info. It can also read and clear fault codes (not that I've had any on my GTI) but I cleared one last weekend on the girlfriends polo.

Torque has a free verson too. Here's a little more info for those interested:

Aside from car apps to use in the car, Car Buzz is a good app for car news and pics etc ;)
