Another class little feature - Wing mirrors
« on: 22 October 2009, 23:17 »
Ok ok, I know I've posted a couple already but I just keep noticing these super little features of the GTI.

On way home from the Gym tonight, I had to reverse, dono why I hadnt noticed till now, but the friggin Wing Mirrors moved and tilted on their own so I could see the kerb  :grin: Then the cute little f**k*rs moved back when I started moving forward again.

Surely I cant be this easily pleased, but I love my GTI.  :kiss:  :laugh:


GTI mk6, 3dr Manual (Yes Manual! If I wanted a Taxi I'd hail one, not spend £1500 on one), Candy White, Full Leather, Xenons, ACC, 18", RCD510 + Dynaudio, DAB Radio, Winter Pack, Luxury Pack, Fiscon Bluetooth Plus, Golf R LED's.

I honestly didnt see that when reading through. Sometimes you can't see things for looking at them, if you know what I mean.

There's always one tit trying to be a smart arse on this forum, you couldnt just have said, thats part of the lux pack kev, but no, you had to get the dig in first. - It's ok, I'll answer your reply for you.... Kev I was only having a joke/laugh, stop taking it so seriously.

Your right you did reply for me. You have shown you cannot take a bit of banter / joke. Which is how it was intended, thats what the smiley were inserted for. :wink:  Its not like its the first time you have made this mistake on options and trims you have :wink: :tongue: (opps you cannot take the banter/joke so better delete that bit). As for the name calling grow up :rolleyes:

VWKev you need to relax and take it all as good humour otherwise you will end up dead from a heart attack by the time your 40. I will say this though you really are entertaining with your coments, you keep taking them pills.
