    Biggest pet peeve when driving.

    Not using indicators (turn signals) In Germany and France motorists are renowned for forgetting what the little stalk on the left of the steering wheel is for.. Today on the autobahn, while riding from Strasbourg to Frankfurt this dumb assed woman pulled out in front of me with no indication and...

    This... for my Deep Pearl Black coloured GTD which is being de-badged, but due to the fact that Golf 7 grilles have a mounting area, I decided to fit an after market GTD logo

    Factory audio options: Fender vs. Dynaudio

    I see our U.S. cousins can order Fender sound systems with their Golfs, here in Europe we have Dynaudio, which I do have and can report is excellent. The Dynaudio is the best OEM sound system I've ever heard (or owned), even though finding an 18" spare to accommodate the boot mounted subwoofer...

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    Those are damned fine wheels, lovely As for the centre cap, it's choice, do you stick with the VW livery and hide the fact their 3r5d party wheels, or leave the RS badged ones in? If were me.. I'd stick VW ones in, just to confuse people, rest assured someone will ask you "what VW wheels are those?"

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    In Germany it's mandatory to fit winter tyres. A pain in the ass if you ask me.. You see top of the range cars here with aftermarket alloys or steel wheels donning winter rubber.. If you get into an accident (whether it's your fault or not) insurance will not pay, or hold up traffic (thru lack...

    Due to Germany's very tight restrictions** on license plates I was very limited on what I could choose It's MTK (Main-Taunus Kreis (district) RW (my initials) 756 (number of letters in my full name) MTKRW756 - Lame I know, but it's the very closest I can get to personalising a plate and the...

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    Today I fitted a personalised number plate... Not a lot of flexibility when doing this in Germany, as in you will always have the 1, 2 or 3 letter city code, two more letters, then two or three numbers.. Most importantly, the plate relates to me :¬)
