Went to scrappy today...........
« on: 14 February 2005, 20:33 »
I went to my local scrapyard today to get some parts for my Polo and who should I bump into? Pete (alias ridgers) :shocked:

What a small world it is. Picked up a replacement rim and gearshift gaitor for ?10 :smiley:

Pete found it very amusing watching me clambering over the cars to get to a Polo for my bits lol

One of the Polo rims was badly kerbed, managed to get a replacement one and a steering gaitor for a tenner :smiley:

No I haven't driven it since I bought it. The guy I bought it from was banned and had already been stopped twice subsequently so it was a 'marked' car. Dare not drive it until it is totally legal which means replacing that rim, new rear box and a handbrake cable. Thats all it should need for the MOT :smiley:

Plan to use it for some of the shows this year, however, I have a feeling that when the weather improves I'll be digging the cabrio out afterall :cool:
