I can imagine I'm driving a Lambo with my virtual dash until I notice the redline starts at 5,000rpm.........

James Walker is currently worth $3 million thanks to his 548,000 subscribers which nets him $300,000 per annum.

Harry's Garage is alright because he made his money from editor of EVO but Mr JWW IS JUST FULL OF HIMSELF, only able to buy nice cars due to the number of monthly subscriber's daft enough to support his supercar fantasy.

When I turned 21 I was able to drive any of the company vehicles in our fleet at the time including XR3i, Toyota Celica GT, Rover 825, BMW 316i, BMW 528i and even the Chairman's BMW 635csI.

Had to wait until I was 24 in 1988 to buy a fun car with a massive 1.4 litre engine pumping out 85bhp and a manual choke (remember those awful things). A white Citreon AX GT and it would hold it's own against my mate's XR2 with 96bhp due to its light weight. Went for a test drive in a Peugeot 205 GTi with the revvy 1.6 litre 115bhp engine and it seemed like a rocketship in comparison.

You summed it up nicely. Not the mods that are the problem but how it is driven and what fuel you put in it. If you like to experience and engine pinking then put cheap fuel in it and remap it.

You have to be a certified plonker to be a U Tuber. Think SHMEE150, Supercars of London etc. Just the dirty black car issue for me and if I was going to change it had to be the latest Mk3.5 Superb and having discovered I like ACC and DSG (7 speed anyway) decided to bore everyone with photo's of the goal of the 1,000 mile tank of diesel because I already proved you can travel 1,000km in a 272 with a careful right foot.

Anyone prepared to say they like the silver brake calipers on 272/280 Superb's?

The only warranty work required on my Skoda's in the last 17 years has been to replace a faulty clutch on a standard manual 2014 Superb with the 138bhp diesel engine at 1 year old and 11,000 miles and faulty key fobs and ironically a software update on my wife's new 2018 Karoq 1.5TSi manual. Both cars completely standard yet produced with faulty components replaced by Skoda at their expense. Never ever had an issue with a remapped car. Too many people worry about the wrong things on cars. More damage is done by people who lease a vehicle for 2 years and never check the oil level, tyre pressures etc and problems inherited by the 2nd owner. Don't care who buys this car because there is nothing wrong with it and anyone is free to test drive it after Saturday and try and find fault.

By trade-in on Saturday just over 14,300 miles.

Offer the dealer £22,000 and bag yourself a bargain.

Fixed for you

I will volunteer to park your car for you if you're really struggling Nick. I will even use a handbrake J turn at speed if you like.

As I'm about to get my first diesel with adblue this week I will top up once a month along with the screenwash check and the tyre pressure check rather than wait until it goes into limp mode.

Absolutely nothing wrong with the car just people speculating as usual and I defy anyone to test drive it and not want to buy it unless they are not wanting the hatch rather than the estate or Black doesn't appeal to them. This is why I put xman on my ignore list because he's talking bull as usual.

Well whoever buys it will be getting an excellent £450 remap that has made a NEDC 39.8mpg combined figure achieve an actual 39.90mpg over 9,000 miles and 360bhp and 514nm is always going to be better for overtaking compared to 283bhp and 369nm (standard).

Think they use 5 year intervals now rather than a specific mileage.

Because I must have Scottish blood running through my body managed 41.7mpg on today's commute with 5 more to follow and some 140 miles until Friday evening plus 11 miles to the dealer which totals 151 miles. The challenge on the final tank is can I get to the dealer with just 160 miles indicated left in the tank.

I believe a Corsa-e weighs the same as my 2020 diesel at 1,500kg but my friends will be far happier squeezed in the back of the Superb including their luggage for a say a week touring Scotland than in the Vauxhall (Peugeot).

The dealership is fully aware of what I have done to the car and anyone who buys it will get the laminated remap printout including the name and telephone of the company that made it such a fast yet economical vehicle. Always the best policy to be honest. Told my insurer about the options fitted to my new car as well.

Assume what you like I have 2 mortgages to pay which total £1,100 per month.

Almost right it is ex-Skoda Milton Keynes car like my current Superb registered 19th Feb 2020 just before lockdown and Skoda employee probably driving a shiny new 70 plate now. Personal plate on it signifies year wife was born plus Diesel For 1969 Hotels Touring Commuting.

Might be a good idea to change your car profile from Octavia Vrs Combi to Superb Sportline hatch @Darrenbvrs.

Finance documents signed and insurance sorted with the very efficient Caroline at LV and even with a £15 admin fee I'm getting a £14 refund as the diesel is 7 groups lower and I reckon next renewal it will be no more than £200.

In Leicester City Blue. Come to think of it my first blue car. Perhaps I will start liking the Blues music now as well (probably not).
