First quick Svend of my new GTi
Of the Polo kind -
Is 9:30am too early on a Saturday morning...........
To get the pressure washer out and clean the cars? Is a bit cloudy at the moment, going to hit close to 30C later so want to take advantage of the cloud cover and avoid sunstroke by not doing it later, just don’t want to piss off my neighbours!
They had this in the showroom when I picked my new car up
The want is strong, esp in this colour but a couple of hundred quid short of 40k for a Golf that’s not an R..........
Picked up my new car
Love it already, only driven it back from the dealers so far (via the supermarket and a Shell station to fill up). Is very nice to drive, very responsive and eager and corners very flat. About to go take it out for a spin.
New car day, excited!
Of course it's chucking it down.
Spent the day Svend'ing
Even though the Leon’s replacement is on a ship and soon to be here, it was literally brown from the dust bowl car park at work!
I am actually lost for any words
Other than why would someone does this?!?!?
I heard the most Oppo thing today!!
A guy I game online with (Elite Dangerous) is Russian, today he told me that his dad has a 1st gen VW Touareg (just the V6 TDi, not the V10 unfortunately) that his dad adores, he wont change it for a new(er) model (even though my buddy is on his 3rd and is about to sell it, his dad doesn’t want it for some reason,…
I've been in work all today while my best friend has been doing a 3 car shoot out test drive day between the M2, M3 and M4................................
I hate my life cos I couldn’t go with him nor can I consider such cars.
Sat here waiting for the guys to come and spend all day detailing both my cars like...........
I am sad I know, don’t care cos shiny cars!!!
I have been bad Oppo..............
On 15/08/2017 I bought and downloaded the CMDR Deluxe Edition of Elite Dangerous, and since then I have hardly been on Oppesitelock or Jalopnik, my posts have been nil, my replies to people and articles so few that they barely merit a mention. I am sorry, I have neglected you all.
A thing rarely (ever?) seen
Joining the M6 north bound from the M56 east bound just now
Sad doggo post :(
Today we have had to say goodbye to my brothers dog Baxter, 13 years old and succumb to an infection of the jaw that just wouldn’t shift. My brother, his family and pretty much anyone who ever met him are heartbroken.
Strange choice of car for a driving school
Saw it the other day and wished I’d got a pic of it (was going to pull it off my dashcam but couldn’t be bothered), just got out the shower and look out the window and there it is again doing parallel parking outside my neighbours house. Surely it isn’t the best car to choose, it doesn’t look the easiest to see out of…
My best mates 2013 M135i is poorly sick, intermittent "drivetrain failure" warnings
The hydraulic clutch module is on the fritz, BMW classes this as a consumable item, so not covered by his extended warranty. £1900 to fix (including a 25% contribution from BMW).
Almost Oppo nirvana loaner (while mine is in for its first service)
Brown (ish) long roof -
Spent the day cleaning and getting some paintwork sealant on the cars yesterday
I used some special products sent to me by Oppos own resident detailer expert Svend on the i3 (thanks again Svend!!) to protect the week old shiny paintwork. Just used stuff I already had in stock on the Leon as it really needs a good decontamination and polish (even though it’s only 7 months old!) before I put the…
