like wise havent touched my rocco for a while.
my mum took it out the other day as she wanted to tow the trailer to collect some wood for the fire.
theres something really horrifying when you hear your car start up when your not in it.
but a detailing session is well over due.


I dont mind project cars but I HATE SANDING!!!

Mine's a daily so I would have been out in it today but it's awaiting an accident repair estimate at the garage. One rather worried GTX owner here.

My Rocco is off the road for a multitude of cold start reasons. Hopefully next month all will be fixed and back to the daily. Its hard to believe Bosch have stopped making so many parts for the K jet system. Porsche, Lambo, Vw plus a multitude of other cars use the same bits. God I miss driving my Rocco as a daily and even my kids complain. Yes it would start now, but on my last MOT date it was below four degrees and I missed my MOT appointment, after half an hour of cranking my car which would not start due to being so cold. Pissed off, yes i'am, an enthusiastic Rocco driver, always.

I bet they think "TERRY" is the car from the new VW advert. :-)

Driving to and from work this week near Reading. Car looks an absolute heap at the moment...lots of interior bits removed (door cards, shelves, no boot carpets or parcel shelf...makes it feel noisy as hell!), also has 5 wheels in the boot. Absolutely covered in dust inside and out...but hey, rather be driving it than cleaning it!

I should really take the wheels out of the boot, I'd be devastated if they got pinched! Must get some tyres for them and put them on. I'll drive to and from work this week with it and think about doing boring stuff next week 8-)
