Managed to scratch the car when giving it a wash and then kerbed two alloys whilst driving.  :sad:

That's a bad day  :surprised:

The kerbing occurred because it juts out at the edge of a roundabout, which I didn't realise. Hence hit it at speed. Hence the tracking is out and will need to get it realigned asap. What hurts is that it's not even been 12 months since I had them refurbished!  :mad:

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

Gutted for you mate, It's a b4stard when the kerbs don't follow the "road" line. I did it years ago in a Cortina and because it was totally unexpected it nearly broke my arm as the steering wheel gave me a bit of feedback! :surprised:

Regards,

John

drove over 1000kms over the weekend!
Luxembourg to Stuttgart and back, and then a trip to the north of Lux on back on Sunday. more impressed with the car as time goes by, just wish the cruise control would work properly

Me and my Mk5 did 96 miles around the Lake District and it was lovely, apart from the weather

If only my internet wasn't so slow tonight i'd be able to get some pics up :fighting:

Just given the old girl a good wash (makes me feel all powerful with a power washer in my hand), clean & vac inside - a couple of coats of wax to top up for the winter and feeding the door seals.

She's in for a service & MOT tomorrow, so after some tea & toast I'm going to check the bulbs are all working

Despite not wanting to drive it due to a howling misfire I managed a mini mod today....



Does anyone know if it's possible to embed photobucket videos to a post?
