Derby Tup Aug 2018 10:16am, 7 Aug 2018 26,595 posts	0 Derby Tup I was talking to a local customer yesterday about motors but more specifically the build quality of VAG vehicles. I reckon I’ve done 500 K miles in various VW, Seat and an Audi. The electric mechanism went in one of the windows in my current car after less than 3 K miles. Unheard of in the past (in fairness it’s now done 95 K in less than 3 years and has been otherwise reliable)

Somewhere you can confidently ask "which is the best chip shop in Keswick?" and expect an intelligent reply.

Lots of experience and good advice available here, from which B & B or YHA to the best fell for Grandma to climb :-)
