Ah mate, you should have posted a wanted ad, I got a brand new one of those ball things with the rod sat in a cupboard at home. You could have had it for just the postage!

well the new bit was fitted yesterday and WOW that's good

So after a 800 k trip we decided on a stop on the way home from viisiting my mate in a hospital after his sidecar crash ,

The stop was at a small place in germany called nurburg (i don't know if any one knows where it is) but there is a ring around it  :laugh:

so thrash on and me and the Mrs did a cheaky lap  :laugh: in the Mk2 golf  :smiley:

we did a vid but it aint too good and there is some funny shot's of the Mrs shi*e scared face LOL

Was mad and the golf was great  :laugh: :laugh:
