Looks like someone has bought my Polo as it is not on the dealer website anymore. Lets see if they find my hidden flyers and come on here!

Yeah I did that when I found that Gary_UK had joined the forum. I went through and edited all my posts about revving the engine to s**t and when I experimented with that 6 speed box (wont be doing that again

) not to forget the time it ran completly out of oil. Or the hole in the floor under the drivers seat.
im just kidding

Ive got a vid of me going round the tyre testing at Inters last year that they can have a copy of! New tyres were purchased shortly after that though so no worries there!

While on the subject of your old polo, this test how well they valet the car depending on where you hid the flyers.

oops, see he replied while I was typing that. That just proves it!
When I part ex-ed mine it had quite bad stone chips on the bonnet but it appears they must have resprayed this before selling it. So I'd imagine they do a bit of work to get it into saleable condition. They found all of my flyers except the one with the manual.

Under the rubber mats (dash top tray, glovebox shelf, steering coloumn shelf)
Under the rubber mats in the drawers under the seats (valeters prob don't even know the drawers are there!!
Back light access panels
Spare wheel
Under Back seats
Hopefully they should have missed one if not all of them

Either you mistook who posted or your suggesting something
(that is if you were talking about me replying)
I'm taking bets on the draws. However if they don't clean under there then why is the owner going to look under there, 2 1/2 years later i don't beleive i've looked under the rubber in the draws.

I suppose but there is always the hope they will unless its some old granny who has bought it. I think the ones on the shelves stand a good chance of being found if they haven't by the dealer as I was always pulling the rubber mat off when picking something up.

Sorry thought you were Aaron! I got confused.
You have normal size wheels

Anyway to get back on the subject.
I left mine in the underseat draws, under the seats and in the glovebox. They were all cleaned out

Well I cant see the ones behind the back lights being cleaned out. I don't think they needed to do much cleaning anyway as it was immaculate.

When I sold my car I woke up early and washed it before I drove up the M5. I really don't know why, just sad to see it go.
But then I got a new type-r with a new car smell and 200bhp and vvvrrroooooooooooommmmmm rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmm vvrrrroooooommm,, uh, soon forgot about it.
Then I missed having a VW so bought a cheap-ish Mk3 GT because I alsways liked them, then wanted a G40 because they look the same only insanly faster and

whooa mama that's the good s**t *
Now I've test driven a Golf Gti , yeah. ** ah nuts
*Sorry just got the spaced box set.
