Well time for me to jump in at the deep end, been reading this forum for quite a while now.

I'm a driving instructor on my first Polo, loving every minute of owning it, brings a smile to my face everytime I get the chance to drive it. :lol:

Bought the car brand new about 18 months ago now, it's an SE 1.4 TDI.

Enough talk, time for a couple of piccys. :lol:

Looks cool... I just love those 1.4TDI.. they are too fast for 1.4...and so much fuel economy... must be very practical for your line of work?

I had another come in yesterday for remap - just so much fun :-))

You had an "economy tune" yet ? To make MPG even better ?

The invoice for this can go through the books...

Guess what economy tune also makes the car faster... lol

Many of my male customers tell their Wives that I am there to improve economy... theyre not lying but not telling the whole truth either...

Cant beat big stickers on yer POLO though.. hehehe

Thanks more-bhp, I'm loving how fast the Polo is, had comments from other instructors telling me it's "too fast for teaching" :roll:

My opinion is, the faster, the safer. :lol:

Been thinking about an "economy tune" for a while, but it's the warranty that bothers me in my line of business. :roll:

As for the stickers, they get a little addictive, a bit like tattooing :lol:

Welcome aboard. I have driven them a few time, must admit they're pretty nippy and not half as bad as expected on the motorway :)

If you are friends with your dealer then just ask if its OK to do...

I get referals from main dealers... I have a new Audi A8 3.0TDI coming in next week for a real "economy" tune... It was his Audi dealer that gave him my number !!

I do brand new 90k Fiat Motorhomes - before they even hit the road.

Your warranty is fully intact as a driving school car ?????

Thanks for the welcomes :D

Yeah, warranty is fully intact, car manufacturers love us using there vehicles, will bend over backwards sometimes. They look at it as the pupil getting a massive test drive, brand loyalty and stuff :lol:

Was thinking of asking at the dealership, but didn't wanna drop myself in it.

It's PASS (as in driving test) L (learner) slightly misspelt, the number plate actually came before the name.
