Gave it a really good clean in and out.  Probably the dirtiest it's ever been inside, thanks to lots of site visits with colleagues who stick their muddy feet all over the place  :angry:

Nice and tidy now.  Also checked oil and coolant, topped up screen wash and air in tyres ready for a trip up north.

weather up here is pants so the cars going to get manky again :whistle:  give mine the exact same treatment today.

Thanks for pointing that out chris  :tongue: :laugh:  It'll be manky again after 4 hours on the motorway tommorow, no doubt.  Plus I'll have to chisel the Pennines off it in a week's time.  Still at least it looks to be warmer up there than down here.

Nothing to the mk6, but discovered where my previous mk5 gti now resides.

My partner went to a local-ish farm this morning to price up a job.  Low and behold, there was my old mk5 parked up.  Turns out it was bought by lady of the farm just after I traded it in, she’s apparently into her cars.  I'm told it looked very dirty  :grin:

Uh oh, what happened?  Did they refuse to carry out the list of 'warranty' jobs?

I felt like that when they refused to replace my central aircon vent after a piece of trim fell off it.  £126 quids worth but you'd think I was asking for the moon to be gold plated.  And this was after buying 2 gti's off them and never once claiming any previous warranty work on either of them.  In the end I picked up a second hand unit for less than a fiver on eBay and used the bit of trim from that. 

Needless to say they didn't get my recent order for the mk7 R  :whistle:

Full tank of diesel, managed under 10p a mile this week. Not bad considering I don't drive with economy in mind whatsoever  :smiley:
