I hope for the sake of this lads family that suspension mods to #VWPolo had been notified to insurers (its been lowered, I compared it to my own first #car which is a similar model) , and there isn't too much data on the ECU or its difficult to capture as car has sat at bottom of River Nene for a few days (although memory chips can survive this!) as #insurers are *really* going to be digging deep into reducing their liabilities for this #crash, with a dead passenger and other injuries/trauma to the survivors.

Daily Mail managed to doorstep witnesses/survivors and gleaned from them he was not habitually a bad/reckless driver and likely overcorrected steering trying to avoid #potholes - I 100% believe this, knowing what rural roads are like round here!

I am actually tempted to try this - lad says he is 1,86m tall (I am only 1,65m tall so would have even more room) and it was even comfortable during winter when he was visiting places up mountains with -11 degrees Celsius at night - just need to remember that everything in the interior is the other way round in a right hand drive car #VWPolo #VWPolo6C #CarCamping

*5 hours* out in the yard today to install new microswitch unit for #VW #DSG gear selector - whole entire centre console of #VWPolo had to come out - a bear of a job, especially removing a fiddly connector for the USB and getting it over the handbrake lever). Switch fitted and then it all has to go back together.

At least now I don't have "error: workshop! Leave vehicle only in position P" randomly appearing and USB music playback still works #CarMaintenance #AutoRepair #bladibarsket

High level #brake light stopped working last night - found broken cable in loom between C-pillar and tailgate (this is a common problem due to the boot being constantly opened and shut). Managed to splice cable (after initial hassle with a duff splice I had to cut off and being left with even shorter bit at the tailgate end to work with. Tested the fix, wrapped splices and extra cable piece with Tesa tape and put the grommet back on..

Unterwegs mit Lola

Mit dem letzten Sonnenstrahl erreichen wir unser Ziel: eine kleine Hütte mit Blick auf das Tal. In der Ferne schimmern die Lichter eines kleinen Dorfes. Wir stoßen mit einem Glas kühlem Rosé an und du flüsterst: „C’était une belle aventure, non?“
