You just need 5 kids with 3 different mums for the ultimate weekend dad wagon look now... Spent 3 years of my childhood in dad's silver vw Sharan version of this, including France a fair few times, was a fucking grim place to sleep in on the back seats, unable to recline them as the back was ram packed full Are you assuming that I don't...... #shagger!

Jim Bell Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Bosch battery and clean seats. Someone clearly cared for this well. It even has rubber mats in the back. Looks like a tidy bus man. You'll definitely win the traffic light Grond Prix if you only race ones driven by absolute losers with loads of sticky kids.

beko1987 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Is that nice looking chrome trim on the bonnet the ghia package or hiding rust? To solve the passenger issues remove all but the front seats on nights out! You could leave the one behind the passenger seat and rack the rest out for drum storage and kit use. Voila, only 3 seats! Means you can make another friend and have 4 and you may as well all just get @320touring to shuber you in. You must have loads of those little stamps on the cars by now? jaypee and DSdriver 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaypee Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share Posted August 21, 2021 Treated the Galaxy to some part worns in the right size, which was nice. Just a stop gap to see how I get on with it. Filled the tank and so far done a couple of hundred miles (1/4 tank on the gauge, how much of that is real, shall remain to be seen), which have been decent, played taxi for @davidfowler2000 and @Supernautlast night. It's got a wee rattle from the front right, but all else seems OK! dome, 320touring, Tickman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaypee Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 Gave this a bit of a clean up tonight, as I had resolved my hoover's poor performance by cleaning the filter, all the rear seats came out, door shuts were cleaned, as were interior plastics. I had forgotten the load space in these, fairly sizeable. Gave the steering wheel a clean up too, as it was a bit icky. Before After It'll now just be my dead skin on the wheel 😂. She's still pootling along quite the thing. Showing 1/4 tank used on the gauge and the trip is on 225 miles.... More investigation required, got a couple of longish journeys later this week, so should hopefully have a chance to do some MPG calculations! Popped out to meet @davehedgehog31@tonight and gave him a run home, fold up bike went in the back nae bother. 320touring, Jim Bell, dome and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaypee Posted August 28, 2021 Author Share Posted August 28, 2021 I brimmed the tank on this a week or so ago, a few long trips and a 200 mile round trip last night for the first gig back since lock down, has meant its time to fuel this back up. OMG MPG UPDATE! Not too shabby! So much so, it even got a wee bit of a wash. Tickman, dome, GingerNuttz and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
