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!!

The thread is: "Mention at least one stupid thing you did to your Mk6 GTI..."
Doc's response is: "Get my stickers on it".

Chuff, are you sure Doc really loves you?  :undecided:

Both of you worry me a tad.  :rolleyes:

I remember the slating we got for naming our GTIs.

Term of endearment I think, it means we actually like our cars and think of them as more than just a means of transport.




I wish I'd thought of Wolfgang first - perfect name for a GTI :cool:
