I had a similar (albeit far far less traumatic) experience last weekend. They didn't get into my house, nor were they the confrontational types (they ran when they realised I'd rumbled them), but I saw a scumbag in a balaclava outside my house and I have the jitters over it since. Needless to say my Golf R is going. Disappointing but I couldn't be dealing with that kind of stress, wondering when/if they'll be back for another go. F**k that.

You are getting rid of your R?

That's you and EatonRifles in a week saying that you don't want the risk of having a nice car.

Yes, it's going today.
It'll be replaced by something fairly nice, just not a hot hatch.

Whilst what Golfdave said is most likely very true (and no Dave, you are not a racist for saying it), my post wasn't supposed to be an attack on foreigners or immigrants - as someone said above, there are enough home grown evil b*astards of our own already here in this country without importing them from abroad.

It was me who said we have enough of our own indigenous scum....

& thanks for not thinking I am racist....I try to be balanced in my views .....just certain facts end up being one sided...

how do you multi quote on this forum?....

My wife stated recently that her only fear of break in is because of the GTI. I'm away soon for 4 days and she asked if I could take the car with me.

I couldn't do that to myself... Its a BMW 420d MSport. Nice looking car but in a fairly sedate colour, diesel saloon, I don't think it'll be of interest to the hooligans who won't leave my Golf alone  :angry:
