Our 2004 Mk4 has a new lease of life with her new brakes and rear struts. Still a zippy ride with enough poke to enjoy zooming about; we’ll see plenty more miles behind her wheel. The new mk7 which we parked next to last week has a nice sleek appearance and I’m sure has a fun aspect to driving it; but I do like the simpler lines of ‘Wor Gertie’.

Hu Geordie.
You (and me) are some of the very few people I ‘know’ that still give their vehicles a name :-). Hey, in the same vein as the rabbit on the Triumph ad for BP I sent you a week or so ago, here’s the latest from Vodafone NZ on similar theme.. https://youtu.be/_KTfyrTTey8
