How does it feel...
« on: 15 September 2013, 06:02 »
knowing that by the time you get your long awaited new car, the roads will be filthy and it'll be winter tyre time?
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

lol we live in the UK. The roads are ALWAYS filthy  :grin:

I also live in the Highlands so even during the summer the road is full of tractor muck, and in the Winter as soon as the snow falls half the roads (all the fun ones anyway) are closed lol.

Doesn't bother me, even in the summer there's so much dust that the car never stats clean anyway! And I don't bother with winter tyres - if it's icy/snowing I just don't drive anywhere!  :laugh:

 :grin:  I think people will be just glad to be "knowing" their car is finally arriving, rather than "hoping"  :wink:

No but as I'm in the Air Force I spend 5 out of 7 days up on the North Coast  :tongue: The biggest road we have up here is the A9 which is mostly single track and full of Lorries. The front end of my S2000 is peppered with chips too because of the poor road conditions  :sad:

I was only thinking about this yesterday whilst waxing the 6, it'll soon be time to give this it's winter rest. Why, I don't know. We bought the most economical car in the world and have only done 9,000 miles in 2 and a half years. It gets babied more than my Mk2. That's out of site out of mind I suppose most of the time. The only person to benefit from my obsessiveness will be the next owner, but I do like having at least one shiny car in the garage. If I did (or should I say) when I have my 7, no doubt that will be treated the same way.
