Yeah, not the type of sandwich I prefer to be in... but I've noticed quite a few more "larger" vehicles using transit recently.

I finally took the Jeep out for a proper test run with a couple friends. They nearly completely destroyed a driveshaft, I had a briefly flakey oil pressure sensor and noisy accessory belt (probably from all the puddles), and I found out my alternator whines when I turn the roof lights on at idle so overall a good day.
On the first trail we found. 
Stopping to diagnose the noise that turned out to be their driveshaft joint starting to blow apart. 
Crossing a wee river.

I've never broken anything offroad but part of why I switched to a cheap WJ was because I didn't want to have to worry about it. This whole Jeep cost me less than just a replacement transfer case for my old one.
Being stranded can be avoided by traveling with another vehicle and always telling someone where you're going and when you should be back. I used Gaia GPS on my phone to log the route so I could always backtrack, we took it fairly easy but because we were exploring random offshoots we were never more than maybe 5km from a nice FSR or 10km from the pavement which isn't a terrible walk. Funny enough we did pass a broken down side by side on the first trail and then a little while later passed a side by side going the other way and they asked if we'd seen the broken one because they were looking for it

We never got the final bill because he had full insurance coverage on it, but that thing was FUCKED UP man. all the warning lights were on.. check engine, awd, brakes failure, and the damn thing was smoking out the hood. He had to limp it back to seattle afterwards covered in crap. 
bent license plate too.. yeah we did that. i think it was a rock or a twig that we hit
p.s. that velar is a piece of shit... brand new too, like less than 5000 miles on it. Plus the infotainment was a joke, took a full 5-10 seconds to change different tabs in the menu.... im not surprised i dont see much of those around anymore.

| Velar sucks. I didn't even like driving the SVR. Instead of being more like a Jr. Range Rover Sport, it ended up more like a Sr. Evoque.
The Sport V8 is still best. Too bad the next gen will move to a turbo V8. The outgoing Supercharged motor made some great noises.
Anyways, got this last month   
Fun car. A couple of missteps in the interior. Wish it had some more personality though.

Think on that for a moment, and you see the car under a new light.

I find with my MK7 R with the DSG, it reminds me alot of a 911 turbo - comfortable, quick enough, practical and you can use it everyday. It does feel a bit tame at times, but those are the days you'd appreciate it when its cruising along gently after a long day at work, without beating you up. Car is also total incognito, as people just think its a regular Golf.
Probably the most well rounded, most swiss army knife like car i've owned in a long time.

How's the manual on your R? I heard the manual R isn't the greatest shift feeling in the world... or clutch is kinda poppy?

Kev | Did you ever get to try the Veloster N vs Golf R?
I really wanted the Golf R for many factors but once I drove it for an hour. It was fast, comfortable, and everything was so refined that lacked the "fun". But now that I look back, that comfort is nice when you are driving people around or in traffic.
