  1. 500 page thread, wowzer!😮 And I'm still no closer to moving off the fence. Gaz
  2. I've got Plantronics Backbeat Pro2. Nice enough, but I wouldn't recommend. They were good for the price at the time. The faux leather on the over ear sponges is thin and breaks down very quickly, it's the same on the headband. I'm on my third lot of ear sponges, and bought a zip on headband cover. Friends have got the Apple over the ear cans, which are much better in my opinion, but they're about £500. As Lee's said, Sennheiser are excellent (had them before). Also consider Bose Quietcomfort, or the Sony WH1000 XM6. Gaz
  3. I have a V70 for similar duties. Many years ago I had a personal invite to a launch of the S2000 at the Birmingham NEC. It was a bit embarrassing to discover that my 6’4” frame wouldn’t fit 🙄 Shame because I’d had CRX Del Sol’s which I fitted in easily, and the S2000 was a logical progression 🤷‍♂️ Gaz
  4. Hello and welcome Eyefor Oooh I so very nearly bought a Black Edition back in 2019 😎 Ended up with my GTI instead. Gaz
  5. Hello Fishsoup 1: Yes. Seems like a reasonable request; 2: Not really, IMO. It's been serviced, probably on long life scheduling. You can change that to annual servicing from here on; 3: Not really, again IMO. In context, I bought a brand new Octavia in 2015, I brought the first service forward as it seemed like a sensible protective measure for the turbo. It still popped its turbo, six weeks out of warranty. 💩 happens. The mileage wouldn't bother me. We bought a 'high' mileage Polo in 2017. It's now a low mileage Polo 😁 and has quite possibly been the best car we've ever bought. Gaz
  6. Looking at the VCDS map, you have a few people local to you. It looks like @SJFISHER67 is from the Winchester area. Gaz Google My MapsVCDS owners map – Google My MapsMap of Briskoda VCDS owners locations.

  7. Look like the picture you put in the above post ^^^^ has gone missing Must be a software glitch G
  8. My first Skoda was a Superb (Mk1). I'd choose the 2.0 out of those two. The EA888 is a particularly well proven unit. I have it in my GTI, and the Octavia I had before it. That's not to say the 1.4 is bad, because it's not. To the contrary, if it's the one I'm thinking of, it's a peach and very well regarded 👍 The bigger engine will obviously move the Superb along better. Gaz
  9. Hello RB71 Gaz
  10. We got pirates at the harbour 😱 Interesting clouds too ⛅ G
  11. Mk2 Estate with its original 1.6 crossflow: Family owned for 43 years 😎 Gaz
  12. If you can find one, is it worth putting a shout out on The Greenline to see if anyone local could hop, skip and jump it over to you? Heck, if Eastbourne GSF of ECP have got one, I'll gladly drive it up to you 🏎️ Gaz
  13. A pretty wildflower meadow at Friston Place this afternoon: Gaz
