Right then
As you know it so well we need to see some pics of a red 5 door GTI doing the loop.
You up for it? and don't forget the camera :grin:
How's Wolfgangs dents??
Gizzy


Wolfgang has a perfect body and needs to mate with Bonnie!
I got The Dentman, Martin Leach, to come and fix it. He is a true artist and he has done a fabulous job. He is from Lancs and a true gentleman. He rides Ewan McGregor's BMW bike which was featured in 'The long way round'.

I will get to the triangle sometime in the summer and take some very evocative pictures which I will PM you. The tasteful ones will be on the forum!

The car is fabulous but was terribly noisy on the  M4 motorway to and from Heathrow. The tarmac is really horrible so it is not the car IMO.

Soon to have the Sat Nav + Bluetooth  installed by Darren.
Also, having the rear diffuser and side mouldings sprayed in the Metallic Grey of the front bumper. Getting my old Honda Garage to do the job! I think it will look really classy and suit Wolfgang to a tee!

AM :kiss:

Nice! I'm not dure about the mating bit tho,black and red? tht will make for a muddy brown  :sick: Anyway glad to hear Wolfgang is feeling better and that his dents and bumps are nightmares of the past.  Look forward to those pics  :kiss:

Sorry to dig this post up!

Glad to see a few of you guys have ventured over to the Evo, unfortunately I haven't been able to keep up with the thread (or drive my car) due to being in Kabul.

If anyone's around the Evo on the 1st or 2nd of July though you may see me pootling around at the national speed limit.....
