Sir Rod Stewart is right - I was in South #Essex myself a week ago, having turned off the #A12 on a fruitless search for a loo (I later found one at #Chelmsford), and regularly found myself having to drive almost in the crown of the road to avoid #potholes , and this is in a modest #VW #Polo (stock springs, not lowered or anything like that) - not a #Ferrari (I dread to think how much that would cost if you scraped it, even a millionaire may baulk at the garage bill)

This online article from #WhatCar is fairly useless - many interior pictures show the manual variant of the #cars (only the Audi A1 and Yaris are correct) and is light on detail - not even mentioning #Audi #A1, #VW #Polo, #Skoda #Fabia and #Seat #Ibiza are all essentially the same vehicle (if you do consider a used one check the #DQ200 #DSG box is shifting well, if the pressure accumulator housing in the #mechatronic has cracked it will cost you around £600 to fix)

Visiting a polo farm this weekend

Game Of Kings

I was able to watch a Polo match while on a recent trip to Northern Michigan. I never watched polo before and found the sport to be interesting although I admit that I didn't fully understand the rules.
The basic are pretty simple, hit the ball with a mallet, while riding a pony on a grass field, with the ultimate placement of the ball is between the goal post.

Langsam wird er alt, unser VW Polo…

"I was suddenly invited to the polo."

Nobody knows why Kathy Burke keeps coming back to the bunk bed. And what did she do to get on the guest list for all those fancy occasions?

Factoid Extra: While elaborate photography & clever copy can produce some great ads, there’s a pleasing simplicity to these ‘shade throwing’ Visa ads where the pictures ‘do the talking’.
What’s more, they work…

Btw, it’s interesting to note that it take some 10yrs after this for the Polo to finally get a 5dr version…

I updated the infotainment firmware on my #VW #Polo #MIB2 system (it is a Technisat Preh, there are multiple variants in the same car model!) - this is a somewhat cursed job as it *only* works via the SD-card (I tried with USB but got errors), then the ODB2 scanner has to be plugged in to clear off 2 codes (to confirm the software change) #cars

Yesterday, I explained how the #Austin #Maestro hatchback was transformed into the #Montego saloon/sedan. #BritishLeyland considered a similar conversion for the smaller #Metro as this prototype at the #BritishMotorMuseum shows. This variant would have been a competitor for the #Volkswagen #Derby, which was based on the #Polo. Small saloons are popular in Ireland, as well as Southern/Eastern Europe, but the UK and most of Northern/Western Europe prefers hatches. #WeirdCarMastodon #davidsdailycar

Walked into the Ralph Lauren outlet store and yelled "Marco" and now all of these suckers are about to get their heads dunked.
