Had a bit of fun today on the way to work in Birmingham.

Managed to get a rivet in my tyre... good job I stopped to see what the ticking noise was (i thought it was a stone) before the tyre ate itself.


(N.B.... yes they are standard brakes Hedge....  :signLOL: )

Looking all sorry for herself at kwik fit in Ashby de la zouch  :signLOL:



They plugged the hole so it should be ok... the front tyres are wearing anyway so it wont be long before they are replaced.  :happy2:


In other news....



Brand new rear ARB links for my Autotech bar... hopefully these ones wont creak so badly.

I've just a pair on the car. What pressures are you running them at rich?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Interesting. I've just been in touch with skyinsurance and brentacre. I think I may shift to the latter.

Just read through the whole thread (took a while) and gotta say I love what you've done :happy2:

As for insurance, if you're with flux and find it cheaper, ring em back and give all the details. Done this every year and they match it every time!
