    It still has its orginal exhaust and drivetrain!

    This is where someone says 'they don't build em like they used to!'

    Nice- its averaged over 50mpg (so it's only burned about 11,000 gallons of diesel in its lifetime ), so they loan him a V10 Toureg that'll really struggle to do more than 25mpg. Should have lent him a Polo Bluemotion.

    I had the old W plate Octavia back the other week. It still lives as a pool car having racked up 272,000

    What's amazing is the fact it still has all the same gremlins as it did at 72,000. It's just beeing rebuilt 3 times
