Took the Bora in for its first service (inspection) yesterday.
A few minor repairs were necessary but not without convincing myself that there are some things I should simply do myself — instead of paying them VW folks for labour and time.
Over the next few days I guess me and my Bora will get very close, and option 7 is working itself into becoming the most interesting and unusual decision.
Them proficient users of the Borum are also unwitting participants and designers.
