West Meon Hut meet #45 06/12/16
tamiyaandy replied to andsoutham's topic in South East (Central) Meets
I also agree the Meon is the better location, As others have said we need to give them another go. The red lion for food is good, But not great for after dinner drives and stuff. -

One thing that might be a good idea, why not set up a Briskoda whatsapp group?... From what I know most people use whatsapp these days and it would save all the one line replies here, that way people can just jump in with thoughts and comments. Just an idea. Plus if Austen is the administrator he can control everyone! lol -

Or the other option is to utilize our special weapon in regards to " Venue management " ................ Unleash Austen upon them!! -

Austen, Don't forget our deal remember?..... In return for taking you out in the Japanese cheese wedge you categorically said you would give it one of your wash and wax sessions? Let me know when I can drop it off.... -

the problem I see is longevity, all the little 1.0 engines have to be worked hard just to keep up with everyday driving hence the poor economy, Where as bigger more powerful units barely break a sweat in daily driving hence they can often match the economy. Back to longevity... Cant see many 1.0 ecoboost engines going much beyond 100k miles can you?? Where as the bigger Engines ( Honda 2.2 I-Dtec, VAG 1.9 & 2.0 TDi, etc etc ) often seen on auto trader with 150,175,200k Miles. See many 1.0 eco boost Mondeo Taxi's around?.................... I think not. Anyway, soon be Tuesday.................... oh yeah its tomorrow!!! -

I need to experience the might that is the Citigo VRS!! Also nice to see David eat an entire meal this time, Thought we where going to be reaching for the kid's menu at one point, Such a slender lad, maybe he keeps his weight down to increase the power to weight ratio when in the aforementioned Citigo??? -

I shall pop down again, My head will be filled with supercars after going to the supercar event at Dunsfold Aerodrome the Sunday prior to this! :clap: http://thesupercarevent.com/ Its a cracking day out for anyone that's not been before.... -
Ha tony!, To be fair Its my first Jap ( Well Swindon Really ) car so got to give it a go, Been in the VAG stable for nearly a decade so fancied a change more than anything. And Honda's 2.2 I-DTEC is a cracking engine and half the noise of a PD! And Yes believe it or not I am still under 40!

Hey Gents, hope your all enjoying the weather, not been along since the departure of the VW Touran, I've turned Japanese these days! Anyways enjoy your meet!! :sun:

Lots of smoke on light throttle 1.9 BXE
tamiyaandy replied to Phil-E's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
I agree with booke23, Your OEM one should have managed a 100k minimum to be honest, my 1.9 is a BXE on 79k now and still on its original Turbo with no issues. Begs the question does this all come down to how people treat the Turbo, I'm not the original owner of this car I guess the same as yourself and yours Phil, Maybe a previous owner never allowed a few seconds for oil to lubricate the Turbo before starting off in the morning, then letting it idle for a few seconds before each switch off, All good practice as we know and do, But many people don't. I'm sure with the way you care for your car with oil changes etc, You'll be fine with the ECP one. :clap:
