Default Amazing how much you can miss a car!

Well, I'm still scoobless. Should be ready the end of next week , but its amazing how much you miss your car when its gone. Dont get me wrong, the golf is fine, but thats it - fine. I miss the bumpy ride, the rattles, squeaks, noise, and most of all, being able to accelarate in the wet without it jumping all over the place. To anyone thinking of the golf GT TDI 170, great in the dry, useless in the wet. The front wheel drive simply cant cope with the torque. I'll post up some pics when its back as it should look . New rear bumper, repainted wheels and all the swirlys gone (thats for you cj!)

It will feel so good when it's back though.

I think you do need a big group hug






Off you go lads, I'm off for a pint
