Thats unlucky that. Do u get abuse of the y11s for having a mk3 golf and not a saxo vts?

 :laugh:

They all love it! In December when it was all snowy I pulled into the school car park and the car was pelted with snowballs by the y11's, I then pulled a handbrake turn to line the car up with a parking bay and got stuck because it was on a slight hill :rolleyes:

They all came running over to push me into the space, another teacher came along and got stuck and they all just watched and laughed! They said afterwards it's because I have a 'cool' car and did a handbrake turn :grin:

It's raining outside, no progress has been made on the wheels and I still have sh!t loads of work to do :cry:

On the plus side I still get beading! Since I give it a full machine polish etc (8 weeks ago!!) all it has had is 1 coating of snow foam (3 weeks ago!) and it still looks like this:



Oh, and the reason why....

a) I can't go any lower

b) I shouldn't reverse onto my drive

 :grin: I'm not a fan of the Vento splitters, but it is would prevent the problem :afro:

This really isn't much of an angle, but the road dips at the edge so the front wheels drop into the dip and the splitter hits :rolleyes:
