Ah the usual "if it's not the exact same as @Chelseacraig's it's pure an utter pish" and "if it is the same as his, your copying him".

Can’t see what’s wrong with his comment tbh. Not his cup of tea, so said it. Then everyone had got their nickers in a twist. 

 

Had it been rude and vulgar comments then yeah, but it wasn’t.  If you’re going to post on public forums you have to accept opinions will come along soon after. Some you’ll like, others you won’t. Ultimately, it’s your car and you can do what you want with it to your taste.

Indeed we do - the difference between most of us and [redacted] you is that we dont HAVE to say things we dont like, there is no reason for you to be mean - just keep on scrolling [redacted].

Sometimes less is more......

Ahem. Allow me to bring this down a peg or two, with a nice, calming image of my Scout/Thule ensemble.

Not a bad idea! I wonder if JML would be interested... 

Gave it a quick clean. Still only 500 miles on the clock

looks good in black!

i always thought if the designers had squared off the inner head lights a little, it would have gave it that more aggressive trans-am look.

 

Though I initially had my doubts I have come to see the front end of the 3FL as excellent. I love how the inner lights carry the angle of the grill. It is certainly looking excellent here in black.

Round trip to Leicestershire to see my folks - saw 45 mpg on the way up yesterday. Not bad for a 220bhp petrol with three bike racks on the roof!

 

Average Speed Limits do help economy though. 

 

Had it cleaned this morning too - looking great in the early evening sun! Have had the car a year now and still turn to look at it as I walk away......

Can’t get enough of this car. 

Is this quite achievable in general? Good going!

Not the OP but have the hatch with the same engine. If thats to the mpg question then depends on driving, driving in ireland (lots of 100km straightish roads) 4 up no problem, motorways are a similar situation. Welsh roads by me average 32mpg with spirited driving where possible stuck behind a camper at 40 with the occasional overtakes sees about 35mpg +

My Octy during a visit to a local detailer for a ceramic coating.  If only it stayed this clean, but I have to admit the ceramic coating makes car washing much easier.

On a long run 40+ mpg easily achievable with the 220 vRS. 

 

Normal mixed day to day driving is more like 32-33 mpg for me. Hence my post above - I was pleased with 45 mpg. 

 

My long-term average is 34 ish. I do like a hoon / blat in sports mode occasionally

which doesn’t help, but then I didn’t buy a petrol vRS with economy in mind or at the top of my list........!
