Ah but the beater is minus TLC Dazza so that colour is perfect for the neglected chart!

Booked my car in for some paint in august.
I noticed that one of my wings is f*cked... the paint has completely popped off.
So its in for both wings respraying and rolling and a dent in the rear quarter sorted out where some kind **** threw a stone at my car. Also a full machine polish to get it looking a little younger than its 9 years.
In other news.... very very quickly approaching 100,000 miles

Not sure if modern VW engines are the same, but I'm pretty sure the official line from VW regarding the old 1.8 8v and 16v engines was that the bottom end wasn't fully worn in till about 80,000 miles, but if it does apply then it means your engine has only just begun using it's full potential. :happy2:

I admire your positive outlook.
Think I'll have replaced the lot by 100k at this rate, bar the head and block.
