Correct I won't be apologising as I've got nothing to apologise for. At no point did I say I parked in 2 bays in a busy car park so I would suggest some actually read posts carefully before abusing and ridiculing others.


Great advice, maybe you should try taking some of it yourself though before dishing it out to others? Just a suggestion.

At no point did I "attack the poster" here which is something I've come to expect from you. Fortunately for you, your vitriolic post got deleted before most people got a chance to read it. On most other forums I frequent you'd have got the ban hammer.

Id like you to explain what you mean by 'you've come to expect it from me'? If i were you I'd be asking Jimble to repost what i so as it was far from vitriolic. Have you come over from the R forum by chance? ?
My very first post on this matter simply said i park in 2 bays to which you and two others thought it acceptable to take the hump with. You need to get out a bit more instead of being the internet parking police. Life's too short to worry about someone parking a car of which very recently I'm only too aware.

Maybe this thread should be retitled 'Where did I park my MK 7 today' as it appears to be turning into that.

The R forum? I've been a member on here for I dunno how long - 9 years or thereabouts? I never get involved in nonsense like this, I'm a very easy going chap (honestly) but when someone attacks me and others like you did yesterday and thinks thats "OK", well, sorry, I just had to take issue with it. It didn't occur to me to ask Jimble to repost it. What's the point of that? He deleted it for a reason, maybe you should ask him why he thought it should be deleted?!

And yes, you do have form, whether thats news to you or not. It's probably a bit sad (and I'm sure that you'll readily agree) that I even remember stuff like this but off the top of my head I can recall you getting your knickers in a big twist in one of the many GTI v GTD threads... basically anytime someone disagrees with your view of the world. Usually your "throwing the rattle out of the pram" posts are somewhat entertaining and I get a good chuckle out of them, so keep it up, but maybe less of the personal attacks.

Finally, you carry on and park however you see fit. Fortunately it's unlikely we'll ever cross paths.

Anyway, that's my final word on this subject as we're obviously derailing this thread and boring everyone else to tears with this tit for tat carry on.

Car looks lovely gtiaps.  :cool:

Anyway, staying back on topic....

Following yesterday's interior clean, today I (just about) managed to dodge the drizzle and clean the exterior.

So basically what you've done here and thrown everything out too! Just because I don't always park in a bay which you disagree with you've thrown the strop. If you can't have a discussion then don't post on a public forum. I've got no personal issues with anyone on here least of all another mk7 golf owner.

As I've said Joegti life's too short to worry about what someone else is doing our not doing.
