The roads in Surrey have literally dug themselves up with all this rain, literally like an obstacle course driving to and from work this week!

I know exactly how you feel Joe
My old "I'm not drunk...just avoiding potholes" sticker has never been more appropriate

Less than 15% of the Road Tax we all pay for is spent on the roads......sickening

It is ridiculous!!

The roads around mine are a nightmare too. There is a petrol station on one of the main roads which has potholes all over at the entrance so you have to slow right down on the main road. Either that or kill your wheels!

To be honest, i wouldn't mind the enormous tax rate for our GTIs if we had roads like in metropolitan America or Australia and other european countries. I really can't understand how they can lay tarmac so badly.

rant over now back to Mandy's GTI

feel so gutted for you and your poor wheel mandy

I'm debating not putting my borbets back on due to all the potholes around the southwest

2 refurbs and they havent even gone on the car yet and i dont want this to happen lol

can you not just send it away for a refurb? or is it too deep?

You've got a lovely car there Mandy feel for you on that pot hole incident! They seem to get worse day by day find myself trying to weave around them but then I just look drunk worth it to avoid them though!

Alex you should get yourself 1 of those stickers which say "I'm not drunk... I'm just avoiding potholes"

I think I need one haha just to give peace of mind to the people behind me

I've been watching 1 on eBay for months just never actually bought it yet lol. Probably will when the borbets are on

I'd be driving at about 5mph if I had borbets with the roads round here haha

I will be down here cos I've had 2 refurbs on them and only been on the car for 1 trip

Whaaat that's mad!

first refurb was poo, paint flaked so sent them elsewhere to get done properly

I know bless it! Everyone says it isn't that bad but i know it's there and is really bugging me!! There is a place local where i might be able to get it re-diamond cut. Fingers crossed!

Haha, i have loads of stickers on my 1.0e but i'm not having any on the GTI apart from the uk-polos one provided by Ben and a one for my local forum

My Poor Boys glaze has arrived so i'm having a major cleaning session either tomorrow or monday depending on the weather. Clay bar and everything! Pics will follow

Could be worth taking it to them and see what kinda price they give you for gettin it sorted

That poor boys stuff is awesome stuff Mandy, me and Michaela (Lloydiexx) done hers the other day and the black looked so sweet!
