Title: Newb Eddy 30 - Cornwall, and the NW
Post by: grey golfster on June 02, 2014, 08:33:53 am
Time to introduce myself?
I have been in the bacground a bit, its difficult to add much value to such a well established forum as a newbie!

I am the bloke with NI plates on a steel grey eddy, regularly up n down M5 & M6....the one with the pig ugly tow bar!
I regularly tow a light racing dinghy...not a caravan, you will be pleased to hear!

Back in VWs after a few years with BMW, mainly because wife sees this as a grey golf, and not as in your face as beemers. You certainly get let out out junctions a lot more!

Done a few mods, apr 1 map, WALK, polybushes/mounts etc at Awesome.
As I am an engineer, a few more small bits to mechanicals, brakes etc.

Changed out some badges/trim etc...imho VW quality is not what it was?

Please dont ask for photos...its just another bog grey eddy, thats the idea really

...except from the rear  :sick:

Its my pig ugly tow bar!

Made the mistake of leaving the car with a fitter while i was  working away. Came back to find that rather than the agreed swan neck, the tw@t had chopped a bloody hole. In the lower valence! Proper mess...
We had a disagreement!!!

Will get some photies as a lesson in how NOT to fit a tbar.
