Agree 15cm sounds much larger/better than 6".

Quick shower:

 

This comparison is for ahenner's who should find it amusing. Same car 2 different drivers 2 different journeys. Guess which was done by the wife? 24 hours apart.

15 vs 36 mph average is huge difference in conditions. I wonder whether driver would make any significant difference.

The stats suggest 2 very different journeys. As @nidza pointed out it doesn't look like driver would come into it too much.

This was posted to illustrate how my wife's journey can be horrendous but it obviously affects my long term figures reducing my overall average speed as well as lowering my overall mpg average. In the same way when I borrow her car I tend to increase her average speed but improve her long term mpg. One week ago used her Karoq and long term was 46.9mpg, jumped in it today and that had fallen to 46.0mpg due to her commute being much worse than mine.

welcome, another ulsterman, 12K is low and looks like you have a few extras on it.

Updated wheels again a few weeks ago.

BBS are now off and fitted some fresh Conti CS6 to these 19" Audi S3 5-V wheels.

Loving the extra grip and larger wheels, just needs a bit more offset to fill the guards out. 

 

Here is mine after wash.

A821 yesterday, (Aberfoyle to Callander via Duke's Pass), and not a Gritter in sight... N i i i i i i i i i i i i c e !

 

 

Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-2 worked well up/down the steeper sections - really sure footed even when 'given the beans' going uphill. (M+S & Mountain/Snowflake).

 

Octy MkII mudflaps make a big difference in reducing snow build-up on the rear underside. (Flaps need repositioned holes for fitting).

 

(White Skoda badge, rear bumper protective panel and 4x4  badge c/o Superskoda).

Nice. Looks like you have the same motor as me apart from yours is a couple of years younger. I’ve made some small modifications eg black wing mirror caps, black rear bumper protector, black front grill surround. If this is of any interest to you I’d be happy to share my info I’ve learnt 

 

Cheers

Hi, this is my new 'baby'. Converted to Skoda after a few Mazda 6's for the VRS thrill. Previously owned a Superb so not entirely new to Skoda or Briskoda :-)
