1) Some might say fitting the Interlagos wheels on my car  I couldn't totally love them on the car so since sold them on wasting some cash in the proccess.

2) Reversing into a car behind me in panic when a sodding bus came whizzing round a tight corner that I thought was going to take the side out of my car (the only tit involved hear was the bus driver)

Not pulling on the handbrake fully in the Seat Leon FR.
Half an hour later, noticed the Seat had rolled down the drive into the drivers door of the GTi.   
£480 to remedy my stupidity.
Nothing worse than something happening to the car when you have no one else to blame apart from yourself.

As I am the OP, and possibly the most stupid, I've got three more items to share!

(1) Rammed my car into an articulated lorry when I received my first call on my Bluetooth phone system. £600 of damage. Blamed and cursed Darren!

(2) Bought non OEM alloys from Mr.P for new winter tyres, but was told by my Insurance Company it would increase my premium by another £200. Then lost £100 when selling them on to Herr.flc, who, bless his cotton socks, drove me nuts! 

(3) Spent nearly £1000 on a set of winter tyres, never to fit them as winter disappeared and they are now stored at the tyre fitters. Must sell them on at the start of this winter. Not necessary in London if I am perfectly honest.

The stupidity will continue as long as I keep Wolfgang.  :embarassed:

Tally ho!

Although this doesn't involve my Mk6 it does involve a funny incident involving blondes, travelling and Germany (get the tenuous link?). And it's also 100% true.
When I lived in Germany I was cycling home from work one afternoon when I spotted a nice German blonde across the road. Unfortunately, as I looked sideways for a quick ogle, I didn't notice the pile of paving blocks they were relaying further up the cycle path. Suffice to say I ran into them and went ars* over t*t over the handlebars in a spectacular somersault. The locals found this very funny - the blonde probably didn't even notice the carnage she had caused!!!! Luckily I didn't hurt anything but my pride and the bike but am1, such is the danger of these pesky women!!!!
At least I was only 20 at the time so she couldn't have called me a dirty old man!!!

Blondes cause so much carnage without even realising

That was a blond thing to say.

Well as we are all confessing;

1. Gave my boss the hairdryer treatment after he curbed the front nearside Monza (in 3 places). Went up to Leicester the next day & scraped the bearside rear wheel up the Kerb

2. Set off early to work during the snow. I managed to safely steer the car into the industrial estate where I work. I turned into the entrance but unfortunately the GTI decided to carry straight on. So I ended up slamming into the gate post!

3. Met my parents in Boston the other week. Whilst explaining to Dad how I carefully park the car to avoid it getting dincked, I opened the rear door to his car. Being an older car the door didn't stop 1/2 open & slammed into the side of my beloved GTI, leaving a nice dink mark!!

to be fair my biggest mistake was upgrades, 

the added power and bigger wheels made it handle like poo, too much for the chassis perhaps ?

still won a few races in it 



but the mk5 was much better, but i put that down to the sponsorship deal 



 

Carbon-Chiptuning sponsor some race cars - get my stickers on it
