P.S- SOrry to hijack your thread Robin. Now im being hypocrital after telling you not to.  :lipsrsealed:

....Don't worry, mate - Thanks for apologising :cool:

Well I've now gone and damaged the jelly mould! Reversing out of my garage this morning to go on the school run....Crak!! Ripp! Crunch!!....I can't understand what's happened and then see that my up-n-over door has ripped off the roof aerial! Feck!!

So I phone Mark and he says: "Don't worry, mate - Not a problem" and tells me he took the opportunity to repair my roof spoiler (also done ages ago on my fecking garage door!) and my car may be ready early and he'll take it across the road to my VW dealer for the new tyres.

When you touch the brakes on the Jelly Mould at normal speeds it's absolutely fine (as long as one doesn't compare it to the GTI), but at slow speed in a traffic queue it's horrendously sharp and nearly tips you through the windscreen. Overtaking a lorry on a hill on the two-lane bypass took forever and I'm glad I had the road sense to let a few faster cars overtake the truck before I took on the task.

As Mark said, it's not exactly a car you long to go for a drive in! And it's not a car I feel safe in. I'm missing my GTI sooooooooooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cry: I gotta laugh though :laugh:

Maybe a new batcave is in order RR??

It hilarious as my mom has over half a metre on either side of the car when she pulls out the garage and goes so slow. Brake, accelerate and turn?? My dad starts the car shoves it into reverse and floors it.

You gotta love woman...

At least the Yaris is cheaper to repair.  :laugh:

Crikey! it's just gone 2am and I'm back from an airport and read a thread titled my car's damaged. it almost had me rushing out to my garage!

Anyway, topher - Leave that sweetie Dinx alone! She cares about me much more than you do!

It's the thought that counts and I'm always happy to hear from Dinx.
