Not sure what the max capacity is, but I bought a tiny 32GB USB drive, (mostly) filled it with music and plugged it in. Works a treat and doesn't take too long to start up. I remember a mate of mine attaching a 320GB USB hard drive to his MDI in his Octavia and that worked too, assuming it's similar technology in the Rapid (the radio shows MDI as the input device). I'm more than happy with the USB drive, it's small, no phone/ipod knocking around in the centre console and no cables stretching across the dash to a mount... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cruzer-Fit-Flash-Drive-SDCZ33-016G-B35/dp/B00812F7O8?th=1 That's the drive I use, 32GB version although they do a 64GB version too

I use the Decathlon 300 cycle carrier, I wouldn't put more than two bikes on it though, I reckon a third would be pushing it https://www.decathlon.co.uk/300-rear-cycle-carrier-3-bikes-id_8342387.html The Rapid isn't in the instruction manual for the settings so you need to play around a bit to get the fit right, if I remember correctly I started on the same settings as a Polo and tweaked it from there, once I got the fit right I used some white paint to mark it off so I could set it back up again correctly without having to remember the numbers (of course, i could have just noted them down in the phone or something too) Here's the car with just my bike on it

I have an app on my phone that tracks my position, my girlfriend doesn't worry if I keep moving... she can also see exactly where I am if I have a problem I can't fix and can then navigate to me if I ever need a lift home :-)

Ouch, I came off earlier this year (on my first ride of the year which was also the first time I'd been on the bike since before my youngest was born in September). Kept me off the bike for a couple of weeks, swollen hand (nothing broken), sore shoulder where i was brought to a halt by someones wheelie bin and some nice road rash for me...

Cheers, previous longest ride was under 60 miles (and about 4000 feet elevation), at 80 miles or so I was beginning to think I'd attempted too much but the couple of guys I was riding with gave me plenty of encouragement right til the end.

Started cycling last year after at least 15 years without owning a bike. Had some gaps of weeks or months when I didn't get on the bike (life just getting in the way) Completed my first 100 mile ride earlier though https://www.strava.com/activities/607275518 Have to admit I was really struggling the last few miles. Pictured is my bike at the start and me with one of my biggest fans at the end of the ride

Trying to give other people a chance then by being at work?

Not a Ginetta G4

Here's the next one

15 miles when I drive, 12 miles if I cycle. The driving route bypasses a section that is almost always heavily congested but not too bad to get through on the bike. Normally takes about 40 minutes driving and about 45 minutes cycling, thankfully we have a shower at work for the days I cycle in... I reckon an hour each way to permanent place of work is ok although I'd stretch that by a few minutes for a really great job. My last job I was hardly ever in the office but it's lovely not doing 30000 miles a year as well and the 8 or 9 hours working on customer sites any more.

Took me a while too

No idea who she is, but the car is a Volvo Amazon

Chrysler Turbine car it is

Here you go, next challenge

Clenet Roadster?

You might want to check out the following thread too. If your Bolero has recent firmware you should be ok though http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/151637-speeding-up-bolero-sd-possible-solution/

It is. Not sure what the offical colour is called (think it's Rio Red). Looks almost orangey in bright sunight. It will soon have curry hooks and little storage boxes behind the wheel arches as I popped to the local dealer today and ordered the required parts. Already been attacked with Carista and now has needle sweep at startup, tear drop wiper sweep, speed dependent wipers, 4 flashes on the half push of the indicator stalk instead of 3 and coming home lights (via a flick of the main beam when exiting the car) and beep when locking/inlocking the car

Here's my car in the work car park, got it on Saturday and very happy with it so far even if it's a little less powerful than the Alfa Romeo that it replaced... Is just a runabout though so more than nippy enough for day to day use.

Hi, I'm picking up my, new to me, 2014 Rapid this weekend and it has the standard Swing stereo in it. Having read up on things since putting the deposit down it appears that I won't be able to use the steering wheel controls to skip tracks over Bluetooth. Assuming this is the case will a Bolero fit in the dash and provide this functionality? I know I could go the Amundsen route (had the SEAT version in a Leon so know it's a half decent unit) but I'm not fussed about navigation as I use my phone for that and get cheaper, more frequent map updates too...

You'll never get the music files on your SIII going through MDI unless you run a custom ROM. The MDI only works when USB mass storage is enabled on the device plugged into it, and the SIII stock ROMs only support MDP as the phone storage is not partitioned off as per older Android phones. If you root the device there are utilities to mount the SD card as USB mass storage devices... Fiscon is awful for media streaming (had one in my Octavia) but worked great for phone calls etc. and overall I was happy with it but if I was getting bluetooth today I would go OEM every time. Only reason I didn't is that at the time I bought my Octavia, the OEM bluetooth was rSAP only which meant my iphone wasn't supported. The extra features on the Fiscon (speed temp etc) are not available on the facelift Octavias

Henry vacuums might be old tech but they work well, picked ours up from Comet earlier this year for £90, they're £110 at the moment if ordered online...

Had my CR DSG vRS for 2 1/2 years and 70K, never had any problems with it (apart from a door seal under warranty and a mistake during a service causing a breakdown) although I'm sure the gearbox wasn't as smooth from a standing start when I traded her in compared to when I first picked her up... Cracking car though and was sorry to see her go even if I was putting £300 worth of tyres on the front wheels every 6 months... Miss the oomph now I'm in my "econobox" car that isn't actually that much more economical on a run... Having said that, I'll be doing a lot more town driving now and the economy there is in a different league :-)
