For Sure!

Right some bad news now :(

Drivers side outer CV boot has split...only a very small hole, but centrifugal force is forcing the grease out of the boot slowly, so its not good! Gonna patch it over tomorrow as a temp measure, then get a replacement boot ordered and fitted next week sometime

Just when everything was perfect!

its not going to get wrecked on the strip with a small split on the CV boot, its not like you're going to be driving over proper dirty poor track. It'll be fine, anyway he's got a new one ordered anyway!

Stunning.
Even better in the flesh.
Best colour for a GTI.

Not as fast as silver though.
Even one with a warped N/S/F brake disc and dry rear shocker. ;)

Could make the trip to York on Easter Monday?

Replaced the CV boot today - what a pig of a job that was!!!! Got absolutely covered in grease from the boot, and had problems with the drive shaft nut and omg it was just evil, but its fixed now :)

Ill add a photo to here later when i connect the camera...its amusing!
