I see you visited Nick at Southampton Wheel Alignment. He is such a knowledgeable guy. He's done several for me, including my T6 with adjustable TCAs to get the thing spot on.

Had a couple of hours to myself today , so decided to clay , polish , seal the boot . Also removed the ‘transporter ‘ badge and VW , which I replaced with one a sprayed to match the blue around the van . 
GT3RS, awesome! Lovely !
Not wanting to derail this in to the Pork & van thread, but I'm in the club.
V8 Diesel Cayenne with PCCBs. Owned from new 120k miles now. I get treated a lot differently by other road users tooling around in the van than the Porker...

In no way are you derailing ..... I quite clearly love both .... but so far the service I’ve received from Porsche is leagues ahead of VW !!
That’s a great looking pair of vehicles
We clearly need a VW / Porsche pic thread going on!
As I’m a bit weird ..... it was incredible satisfying to have my white Porsche and white transporter all clean together on the drive the other day !!

My second love is going to farm shows ...now that’s a Porsche id love to drive.....even Lamborghini started off as farm machinery now look what they make
ps. Everyone loves a tractor
Lamborghini still make tractors, though they never sold in massive numbers in the UK, they're not crazy expensive like the cars, but farmers need to know they can get dealer support 7 days a week quite close to them, I think that's why Lamborghini don't sell many tractors here.My second love is going to farm shows ...now that’s a Porsche id love to drive.....even Lamborghini started off as farm machinery now look what they make

Today I was driving something a little less exotic, a John Deere!
Nought wrong with a Deere. Similar colour to the Roadless ploughmaster 6/4 I’m more a fan of older units...but for my birthday the wife paid to let me plough with a Case... boys and there toys
Come on you lot ..... we all know you can’t beat a Massey
You can pay to go ploughing?? 
I've spent many very long days ploughing as a youngster, now I only help local farmers when they are busy when it suits me, like it did today.
All the big tractor brands are much of a muchness, all now very complex, often with 24 or more powershift gears, or CVT, touchscreen controls, GPS auto steering, air brakes, suspension, fridges etc. And they are much faster than years ago and wider, which keeps road work interesting.
In the 70's and early 80's if you could drive one tractor, you could drive any tractor, they were just different colours. Now I find I get off a John Deere and on to, for example, a Massey, I need a five minute lesson on how the controls work!

The raw power of modern tractor is amazing but it’s more drive by wire almost autonomous the older units required a driver to be skilled at there craft ...going back I just remember the wooden thrashing machines and my grandfather working the land in NorfolkYou can pay to go ploughing??

Yep you can make money out of driving tractors...it’s boys toy thing..I think it stems from driving odd vehicle in the services
Folk are strange... then they buy a T6 204. That’s fun
Nothing runs like a Deere.......You can pay to go ploughing??

We all know that is gospel.
Pay to plough !...... I’ve heard it all now !
The son of one of our neighbours works on a farm driving some of the big machinery (he’s only 19!) including ploughing - he has a farming game on his Xbox and does ‘virtual’ ploughing when he gets home
Just in case....you’d want to go...
Some people like Track days.... some like Off road stuff... Nothing like putting a BV206 hugglands on the course at Leaconfields that’s fun But it’s all boys playing with toys
Haha haha .... that’s crazy .
