Hey all,
Got up this morning to get out and get some nice food in so me and the better half can have a nice meal in tonight (no $ for this eating out business, at least we both agree about that!). Upon reversing the cab out of the garage i got out and closed the door and saw a cracking big scrape on the rear quarter, all the way over the petrol filler cap. Its well deep too, lots of powdery primer falling out of it.
Now I know this kind of nonsense happens, but to a 16 year old car thats only worth £1800?? Whomever did it must have nothing in their lives if thats an envy scrape!!!
I'm fumin to be honest, cause ive done loads of work and was about to post a load of pics of my progress (Ronal Boleros fresh back from the refurbers, OEM cab recaro interior refinished in BMW montana lightgelb (Its like a yellow/cream), new boge shocks all round, brand new eibach springs, new brakes all round, Becker stereo and MB quart amps and speakers all in OEM fittings.
The work Ive done is easily several times the cars value, Ive done most of it myself (incl a heater matrix in the cold, those pics are scary!!) and its horrible how one wee scumbag with a key almost makes me want to get rid of it now! itll wear off im sure but for now i'm ready to explode and have a size 10 and baseball bat with that guys name on it.
To be fair i work in a nightclub in Belfast, so i do expect a certain amount of nonsense out of the patrons at the end of the night. I park quite far away as a result but clearly not far enough!!
long live the girlfriends polo tdi, thats gonna be the work transport for the next while, at least till i calm down!!
sorry for the rant folks, had to get it off my chest. Pics to follow as soon as i locate a working camera!
