Mate if you saw the condition of the paint.  Plus the bumper isn't exactly fixed on correctly since my accident, fair bit of paint missing as well.

Got the air con done this week, all went well, lovely and icy cold  :cool:  Just ordered a set of blinds for the rear windows and boot, 20% off at the moment, bargain!

Took her toVolkfest and back this weekend.  Didn't miss a beat, and 37mpg as well!

MOT was today, failed on two things. Fog light bulb was gone, and NSF track rod ended needed replacing. If that's all that's wrong with a 14 year old Golf I can't complain too much! They sorted it all within a few hours and passed it the same day.

In other news, she's up to 57k on the clock now!  :shocked:

Well the sad news is that my lovely Golf will be going this weekend.  On the up side she's going to someone on the forum who is going to spent time doing her up and hopefully get her back to her former glory.

So to recap.  I owned the car for 7 years, and in that time only managed to cover 39k lol.  I replaced wheels/tyres many times, but I only actually managed to wear one ONE tyre, yes just one.

I'm really going to miss the car, but that's life I suppose!
