Hello all, Just did a quick ad for it24 and figured it would fit here .. You're welcome to join us, happy to answer any questions you have! .Bret

Hi! Text on Icetrack 2023; what it is, where, and the costs involved. Let me know if interested, please! Icetrack 2023 is now open for reservations. There are a few changes from last time. Skip to ***new stuff*** if you’re impatient. What is Icetrack? Depending on how you look at it, it’s...

Hei, kesä tulee ja sitten miittiin mahdollisuudet tietenkin :) Mä oon nyt Kuopiossä kotoisin; kiinostiasitkö ketään miitiin? Esim. vähän etelämpää (kuten Jyväskylän lähellä)? Uskon että mä on vähän aika tämä kesä. Toivon näin! (sheesh, this language is impossible, but i am sure you will...

as an FYI: note that the inner door skins are under stress when on the door and bend when they're off, so moulding to suit won't necessarily work. @Azim there's also very very little space available at the top of the speaker: the basket needs to be small, as does the magnet, or the door check...

Hi, so a social that normally isn't on the radar in the UK; Icetrack 22 is currently being set up and will be held from 19 to 20th Feb 2022. Base is as in the last few editions the hotel Lohimaa near Tervo and our track will be again just outside Vesanto. Timetable is as in previous years: be...

Hi, With work I ship stuff all over the world. Mostly large, high value stuff, but also smaller packages. I've also spent the last few months selling a bunch of stuff on Ebay. A couple of observations: - currently, Logistics are in a hell of a mess, even without the Ever Given situation. - No...

So I've been thinking about this winter. Yes, we already have frost... We have the DEFA Termini in the car(s). They are plugged into the wall and run around 2kW of heat into the cabin. I don't want to run this any longer than necessary. I do want to run it long enough for the cabin to be warm...

Hello, the question comes up again and again. "What do I use to scan?" The answer depends an awful lot on three things: how technical you are, so what you're trying to find out; what you're actually looking to do; and what Operating System you want it to run on. Let's run through the main OSes...

Hi, so I'm pretty far with the adapters for the drivers I wanted to use in the doors of the A2. A question for those who might be interested in adapters: what drivers / comp sets were you thinking of using? I am thinking of picking up a set of Eton 172.2 POWs for the Octavia and will use those...

Icetrack 2020 is coming. There are some changes for this year, primary amongst them being it mutating into a three-weekend event. The weekend of 1+2 Feb 2020 is the one for the A2 group. There will be additional events on the weeks before and afterwards. I expect to be able to offer driving...

Hi, the number of posts is no longer visible under my avatar.. or that of others. Is this deliberate? I actually find it useful on occasion... - Bret

Hello, a heads-up: #ITX, so IceTrack 10, will be on 9+10 February 2019. As previously, you're free to combine with other stuff - like reindeer, snow, and northern lights - beforehand and afterwards. Track is currently not 100% clear but we'll sort that out. If you're not sure what two days of...

Date confirmed, more details will follow. - Bret

...as some of you know, I've been running a 1.0TSI Octavia since last October. I'm extremely impressed with the economy of it... the other weekend we did the trip to the summer house and back. On the way up, with an average of 72km/h, I saw 4.2l/100 and the way back - with rain, some of it...

Hi, As you might be aware, we recently moved the German forum to IPBoard, away from vBulletin. One of the things that's been directly affected by this is Tapatalk. It's been uninstalled and won't be reinstalled, mainly due to the business practices of Mobiquo (the company who run it). It...

Hi, so the German forum is now upgraded and seems to be running reasonably well on a new forum platform (IPBoard, if you're interested). Looks pretty good and we'll be moving more stuff around and fixing minor bugs as the week progresses.... - Bret

Hello, Icetrack 2017 hasn't been 100% confirmed yet, but I figured I would ask if anyone's interested.... ? Location is probably mid-Finland, so within 200km of Kuopio. I have one of two locations in mind, both in this circle, one north of Kuopio, the other West. Date is either end Jan or mid...

Recently got back from our 3700km pilgrimage to France via Frankfurt. Octavia 2.0 TDI 150 appears to have averaged around 5l/100, which is better than I expected and implies around 3l/100 here in Autumn / Winter. That's impressive. The only reason teh numbers are over 5 is because of several...

Hello, I've been pondering Icetrack 8. Is there any interest from here? There's a thread on the German Forum which has quite a few people added in, so I'm asking here, too. It will probably be 17th-19th Feb 2017. Pricing is another question, but that's partly why I'm asking. If it happens, the...

Hi, so for all VAG group vehicles there are two important three or four letter codes. One is the MKB - Motorkennbuchstabe - or "Engine ID Code", the other is the GKB - Getriebekennbuchstabe - or "Gearbox ID code". As we know, VAG improves things during the life of a vehicle, and changes are...
