Yes one week in and still living it.
Used to do a fair bit of windsurfing myself back in the day, my backs a bit to knackered now though. Don't seem to see much activity these days, I think many have switched to kite surfing.
Sorry OT.

Guess you`ll be likin this one then:

When I saw these pictures of the Amarok, I wanted one:

But when I saw one up close in a dealers, I was highly disappointed. It's almost an amazing truck, but feels like they just fell short at the last moment when designing it. Like they ran out of money, or rushed it out before the Ranger. VW build quality is terrific, and the Amarok does feel very solid. But as already mentioned, the inside just feels cheap. It lets the rest of the truck down. And there are a few simple things that I feel let the truck down, like the elastic band to hold up the rear seats, and the lack of under seat storage at the back. The screen on the SatNav is too small. There are no decent tie down points in the bed. VW have designed a kind of "twist and click" point for attaching accessories to the dash and they just feel like something you'd buy from China on eBay. They are flimsy and cheap. They'll be broken in no time.

More importantly, I felt the truck was lacking in torque. If VW made a 2.5l, or even 3.0 V6 version, like the Touareg, available, and spent a little bit more on the interior, the Amarok would have been the best truck around by far IMHO. But they didn't, so the Navara is still king. :bow
