It might be useful to make it into an actual forum survey too, so there's a clear count of scores from all
Happy to start it if you wish ?

great idea - you could use survey monkey.

Also - we should work out what the car was like at collection, and with what mileage, and then when the by design knock arrived.....

You can make a survey through this thread by hitting the 'poll creation' button at the bottom by the picture attachment selection. You then define the questions/answers
Only the original poster can do it though

I think you're over complicating it. look at the B7 version, that was simple and it worked.
