Me and my poor little golf ended up in a field with horses. I panicked the whole time that they'd randomly stampede my car!

^^^ How did that happen? ^^^


Had the wheel alignment adjusted

camber front    lh            rh
                   -01.38      -01.34

camber rear  -02.39      -02.35

 :signLOL: think the rears need brought back in a bit   :driver:

maybe even it of to about -02.00

I will get some pictures added to my build thread tomorrow!

Also give the car a wash... and quick wipe over with poorboys quick detailer...   :grin:
If it's not broke, Mod it.....

My friend owns a few horses, so I went down to see them and think I went through the wrong gate!

^^^ I spotted Canada geese whilst on the train home last week flying in the direction of home...
...so I get home and there's what I can only describe as a litre of bird sh*te down the drivers side rear quarter, covered and BLOCKED the rain channel, covered the boot strut....it literally was a shower of sh*te!  :fighting:  :fighting: :fighting:

Gutted, that's always the way! They seem to target freshly cleaned cars  :laugh:


Wasn't best impressed that's for sure. Pressure washed when I got back and looking fine once more!

Well I've had the 3m headlight restoration kit and a bottle of Meguiers Plastx for a while but not had a drill so decided i'd just go for it without the drill.

Did it pretty quickly on one headlight as it started to rain so it's not best job but pretty impressed, took about 5 mins (by hand)



Got wait for it to stop raining so can do the other one and improve this one too
