Just in case anyone didn’t know, the South African #VW Polo Cup celebrates its 28th year in 2024, with a new sponsor… 👇🏻

Went to pick up the Polo this afternoon after its window failure and regulator replacement, and chats with another Polo 6R owner and the long-time custodian of a gorgeous #Audi Ur-quattro have restored my faith in humanity a bit. #VW

…and here is Auto Shenanigans’ video from that day. 👉🏻 youtu.be/-AZLRb6o0Uo?fe…

Living in Chelmsford, but only for 16 years, found out some stuff I didn’t know. Keen visitors of Colchester here, too – which never fails to disappoint. #Essex

It’s Sunday, so retro TV night, and an old One Foot In The Grave. Stuart M Bird, is this a 1960s Beetle bumper that Margaret is wrestling with from the loft? #VW

I think there may well be a few dirty cars at Takona Coffees & Cars in Sawbridgeworth tomorrow (mine included, not washed since it got dirty going to the last meet!) due to the unrelenting rain that wasn’t forecast…

Sold and built in India and Brazil, the Virtus is based on the sixth-generation Polo – and is even called the Polo Sedan in South Africa – and Volkswagen do Brasil has created a special one-off ‘convertible’ version of the car. Motor1 has the story (and images): motor1.com/news/707476/vo…

If you’re Northamptonshire way it’ll be good to see you there.

If I didn’t have my Polo BlueGT, a couple have really caught my eye recently. Take this one: blue, 2014, 87,000 miles, and almost *all* the option boxes ticked: xenons, heated seats, multifunction wheel, climate, floor mats. £5,250, because… it’s a Cat N. ebay.co.uk/itm/2961980852…

Earlier this week, I experienced the new #VW ID 7. One of 10 #EV VWs to arrive by 2026, it’s the flagship member of the ID family. Priced from £51,550 OTR, the near-5m-long fastback has a range of up to 384 miles, lots of space, and improved ‘MIB4’ on-board infotainment tech.

It's not just cars that are going electric, the marine sector is, too. In the latest issue of Electric & Hybrid Marine Technology International I look at off-shore charging solutions, and how through continued collaboration and development, workable technology will soon be a reality. ehm.mydigitalpublication.com/publication/?m…

Interesting and unexpected ‘presents’ from RenaultUK today (thank you!). Nicely presented and packed, though I think it missed a trick by not putting the new 5 on the mug itself… #EV
