It's been a busy week so here's my report:
Monday; Today my car got reversed into while parked up. It's only superficial front bumper stuff but I was furious. There wasn't a single mark on that car and it's treated like a baby. Grrrrrrrrrrr.
Friday; Today I booked my car in for repairs. I've requested that the bumper be painted OFF the car. They informed me VW charge about £600 to recalibrate the radar (which was knocked off its perch and the crappy plastic bracket broke). Bodyshops like to take the p**s with repairs when insurance companies are involved. It's my first ever insurance claim in 28 years of driving (I think, hard to remember at my age!)
After my week with a cabriolet
http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=271236.0 I'd decided on going back to Diesel next time round with my only hesitation being that I tend to do a lot of short journeys and DPF's won't like me. But on Friday I was presented with a
BMW M135i, with just 200 miles on the clock, to use for half an hour or so as a workmate had hired it for the weekend and I was overdue a meal-break at work. He didn't get much choice in the matter, those keys were coming with me.
One word: BEAST! Love it. Me want.
