Return of the cursed GTI
« on: 08 September 2015, 15:31 »
Had a little chuckle today when I popped to my local VW garage in Norwich to get some new wiper blades. My cursed GTI was sat in a service bay with a tech stood next to it looking confused.

Never thought I would see that car again but I do feel sorry for the poor guy who purchased it.

Business expense, easier just to buy original parts with a VW receipt. If I was putting my hand in my pocket, no way!
