Looks great in that shot, mean and moody Pootle!  :cool:

After seeing what this chassis is like (bearing in mind it has GTI bits) on a circuit I would never by a Polo GTI or A1 on the grounds i actually like to have an idea which way the front wheels are pointing

That bad, eh!?

I recall you thought the Polo R would not be well balanced proposition, but quite surprising to hear that a GTI variant (and A1) would so poor on this chassis! 

Safe to say the R creamed it then  :grin:

Graham, I'm going to pretend that's not a sponge in the foreground of the above pic.  :rolleyes:

Have you learned nothing in your limited time in the detailing section??! :laugh:  Pick it up, take it to the nearest bin, drop it in, then go buy yourself a lambswool mitt from WoWo.  :wink:

Ah, I'll take your word for it, and won't judge too much :wink:   But you do know that if you did use it, you will have undone all the work of your newly acquired Meguiars DA drill attachment and even though it was a bargain buy, it will still be money wasted.  :tongue:

Anyway, such was my dismay at clocking the sponge, I forgot to say your car looks fantastic  :cool: And I'm rather envious that I don't have a job that permits me to skive off and wash my car, on someone else's time and money  :evil:  Ignore if you are self employed.  :grin:
