thought id share a tale to brighten the monday mornings with someone elses stupidity and misfortune.......Mine!
after years of wanting to own a hot vw i finally got myself (the misses) a mk3 2.0 8v gti
happy days.
the guy that sold us it said it needed front shocks and would explain why the steering feels unresponsive and wayward, so having bought car and taking mateys word for it proceeded to purchase new shocks and front suspension update kit, i figured i might as well as they are probably worn too.
couple hundred quid later and i have the wheel off with a view to changing parts. due to my over confident diagnosis i discover all replacement parts ordered have been replaced! and could have saved the best part of £200 if i took the time and got a second opinion.....which i did after i already spent the money. oh sh!t now i have to tell the misses
que verbal abuse and flying crockery over and i quote "spending money we dont have on sh!t we dont need you clown, you better pray that stuff can be sent back monkey boy or we're gonna fall out!"
suffice to say i have spent all weekend in the dog house and looks like thats where im staying for a while
with hindsight the moral to this story is fairly obvious now.....to me anyway and if nothing else i hope it has made somone chuckle happy monday!
