I'm just gonna drive mine, but watch the pot holes. Old cars really feel them, I'm glad I'm not on coilovers.

Last day of road tax. A quick drive might sway me into re-taxing it  :evil:

Speaking of coilovers, I done a 3 hour motorway drive today. The car was fine but the majority of my spine is now compacted inside of my skull.

Fitted a new Alpine along with mic for Bluetooth and iPod lead in the glovebox.  God bless A/C'd Mk2's and their removable gloveboxes!

Also funked around with the air install, trying to get it to look a bit better by lowering the tank further.

Oil on the way to carry out a full service this week too.

So far this wknd I've changed the oil and filter on the golf, gave it a wash and polish and the been for a 150mile drive around North devon/exmoor. Had much amounts of fun blasting the golf round the twisty roads.  :smiley:

Nothing as it's still down south having its engine bay restoration. 4 weeks to go so back in time for the (hopefully) good weather.
Will just have to go thrash the 6 instead!

Brought mine out of hiding, went for a 5-6 mile drive to make sure it still worked, washed it, hoovered it, then put it back in the garage. There's too much powdery, salty, dusty stuff on the roads to undo all my good work by driving it anymore.

I'm going to try and nip over and have a look at yours soon Andy. Is it back from paint yet?
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

removed the rear badges and put back on correctly, it was to clean all the crap behind em.

someone who had the car before me stuck them on when they were on crack  :undecided: they were all misaligned and silicone was all over the shop.

looking clean as now.
