Watercooled past. I have a ton of pics here's like one of each car
Year order not pic order:
1979 Rabbit-White, no rust(German Built)
1981 Cabriolet- White, no rust(German Built)
1981 Rabbit LS Diesel- Silver/Green, no rust 123,000 miles, bought for $1660 in 1987!(American Built)
1988 Cabriolet- Red, original owners, sold with 27,000 miles still owned by family friend with under 30k)(German Built)
1987/8 GTI- Black, no rust, appears to be a 10th AE but means it would be European(American Built??)
According to google convert my car is doing 19 MPG or 12l/100km.
The best it has ever done is about 650km out of a tank (tank is 51l+9l reserve) and I still had around 1/8th of a tank left. That would be around 7.7l/100km, which is pretty good for an AWD car with a 2 Litre turbo engine.
Have had it since the start of July last year and have just completed my 700th mile yesterday!
Dawes Giro 200 Road bike(2012 Model)
Nice bike! What gearset you got on it?
Thanks Cola, they are Shimano SL-SY20A 14 speeds but use a sort of lever to change gear on the main handlebar, instead of having the more used clicking things that change gear when you tilt the brake handles (forgot the name). Meaning I have to keep moving my hands on and of the drops.

Oh okay, that sounds annoying as hell, you should upgrade them to something else, or get it fixed.
I've got a Radon RPS 2012 with Ultegra shifters, and the rest is Tiagra IIRC.

Is that 12 speed or 14 speed? It's quite hard to tell from the photo.
Yup, to be honest I haven't cleaned it properly since last autumn. Then again, it's been in all winter, as I don't want it to get damaged from all the salt on the roads. ;p
I'm not sure whether it's 12 or 14 speed. It's not really something I pay attention to when riding it, and I cannot seem to find the specs anywhere.
Chanced new cams... Those are in factory setting so needs to be timed to suit my setup
All i can say is that looks really promising for springs tuning session
About same conditions and same spot. Only difference is Cams and Intake manifold.
