Not really a car but while doing my daily browsing of BAT stumbled across a nice Jetta with a VR6 and I felt compiled to post the following here - because I had to say it, and I don't really know anyone who could possible appreciate it but...
All I have to do, is see this motor and it fills me with emotion.
🥲
Oof. Low blow man. Low blow. But not this time!
You must be referring to last time….and the little puddle on my garage floor? That's nothing to worry about lol.
Still looks good though!
And no, I still have not exactly figured out the occasional no start condition. But hey, that's all part of the fun, right?.....
.....Right????
🤪
My yesterday adventure
Drive home with a mate in his rented trashcan X1 1.8
- tyre gets slashed by a hydraulic parking bollard that didn’t retract right
- we get stuck with a dead flat rear left at the German club
- German club get mad at us blocking their parking lot during Octoberfest
- tow driver turns up late, desperately needing to take a leak
- German club tells tow driver to get lost so he has to climb into a construction site next door
- tow hook and tool kit all missing from rental BMW
- tow driver gets my mate to drive on 3 wheels up the flatbed, doesn’t even secure it
- mate gets out, releases brake, almost gets killed as park brake can’t hold the angle on one tyre
- tow driver secures one wheel, my mate gets down
- tow driver drives through the steel chain joining the two rows of big plastic barriers
- tow driver drives down a Main Street 50 feet dragging 8 of these barriers hanging off the chain
- uber driver comes to get us, nearly crashes head on at 60 due to trying to beg my mate for an IT job instead of looking at the road
- we get to a Ute that needs moving, move it, order another uber
- while waiting for the second uber, my mate nearly gets taken out by the second uber driver
I went home straight to bed and couldn’t wait to sleep and wake up the next day.
In the pic you can see the white barriers, the chain on the ground with red flags, the skip bins it dragged and the white Corolla it hit, with my mate in the middle wondering why he bothered waking up. This is after they got dragged back
