Title: Can't wait for summer
Post by: G864 TST on 05 March 2008, 16:39
Now normally I prefer the winter months but since I've become part of the best club in the world (owning a GTI) I really can't wait for summer - long warm evenings and driving just for the pure pleasure of it, my GTI is black so it looks best just as it's starting to get dark

Anyone else got a favourite time of the day or season for their GTI?

frosty winter morning but clear and the sun shining on it - but summer evenings also good.  Come to think of it all year and all day  :grin:

Saturday and Sunday mornings, because city streets are empty and traffic lights are not working.  :smiley:

That's funny:

My favourite times are when I can drive enthusiastically, but Brits' favourite time is when they can bring out their buckets, clay bars etc etc and give themselves to their favourite hobby - cleaning cars.  :grin: :grin: :rolleyes:

It goes quicker when it's had a good days working at cleaning and polishing and waxing, a good wax should last most of the summer as well :)
TFR is a traffic film remover or use a tar remover on the bonnet to get rid of most of the fly and then get a clay bar and some quick detailer and go over the bugs it should pull the residue off and then a bit of a polish and a waxing should make them easier to get off next time :)
