Well after been on here for 5 years or so and actually owning this particular mk3 since November 2010 i guessing it was about time I actually proved I wasn't an adolescent Corsa driving felch monkey...it also helped that the car was reasonably un-scummy seeing as I was forced to hose it down after experiencing a full on seagull assault whilst in Folkestone days earlier.
