I have a Passat 2.0TDI and received the letter from VW saying that it will be recalled next year for the mod. I don't want it, and if they screw up mpg or performance, I'll be getting it chipped.

An Englishman walks into a bar....

Does any one else feel a strange but delirious joy that people in the oil industry finally feel a bit of the pain that most of us have felt for many years? There are choices that we can all make, pain and gain all too often go along together. For most of our married life I have worked in a differen...

Something similar here. Seismic industry ex-pat no longer required in Houston, now back to a damp, cold, windy Scotland.

The real bummer is, I sold my R1200S before I went....

I can just picture myself trying to merge on to the Houston Beltway in one of those :shock:

I can't donate in the UK because of my frequent trips to Texas where West Nile virus is endemic.
I can't donate in Texas because I lived in the UK in the 1980's where we all ate cow brain burgers full of nasty preons or something.

I've just sold my R12S and moved to Houston, and frankly, I doubt that I will buy a bike here. In general, the standard of the roads is appalling, and the standards of driving bordering on 3rd world.
