Ahh that’s amazing! Thank you for sharing! it was a great little car, certainly one that I regret selling to this day. It had a remap (by Awesome GTI) and larger front brakes, apart from that it was standard. does he still have it?

Wow - a blast from the past indeed! In in the end I didn’t get a Focus ST estate, I went for a Mercedes C350 estate. Plenty of Octy VRS’s and Focus ST’s around these days. It’s nice to mooch around in something that goes under the radar but can pick up and fly when you want it to!

I could see that he had positioned his car in an unusual way yes, I honestly did not think the stupid old man would then swerve over as I got close!

Agreed! The traffic would flow better and use alot less road.. To be honest, I normally bypass this bit of road all together to avoid this sort of sillyness. I wish I had this morning!

This happened to me today, i'm perfectly entitled to use the merge lane, this old boy decided to try and force me off the road! I'm thinking of reporting to the Police as that sort of behaviour is just not on.

Ditched the run flats on my 3er years ago.... Saved myself a fair whack by putting a good quality pump + tyre sealent in the boot (where the spare wheel should be....) and paying for full RAC cover. Not skimped on the non-run flats either, Goodyear AS2's all round. I can see the appeal, but I found them to be hard, crashy tyres that are horrificly exspensive.

Hi Chubbs, how much would you like for it?

Yup, I already glay it etc, I'm just wanting to take the next step and give it a 1 or two step correction with a machine polisher.

Good morning all, Since last year I've really caught the bug for 'proper' car cleaning and i'm really enjoying looking after my car and buying & trying new products on it to the point where it's overtaken Mountain biking as my main hobby. While my car looks good, I was filling up the other day and the forecourt lighting really showed up how 'bad' my clear coat is for swirls etc... I was actually gutted, I didn't realise it was that bad! My question is, I am thinking of investing in a machine polisher to replace my trusty Aldi special which i thought was doing a good enough job for me... Looking at a DAS 6 pro, is it worth starting with an orbital? My car is BMW which i've heard have really hard paint, I don't want to waste money investing in kit that will not do the job, but at the same time, I don't have the time to invest in 3 stage correctrions and concourse worthy results. Any help, thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

I wouldn't be too upset and angry about it, You've not bought a 10 y/o car from a back street dealer, it's a relativley new car with a warranty and purchased from a franchised dealer. Annoying yes, but give them time to rectify the issues before mentioning rejection etc etc! Strike it up to experience, never buy the first car you see!

Oh I know! My Dad did that..on a black car! |Needles to say it looked like someone took a brillo pad to a small part of his bonnet!

It's the day after pay day... so it must be another delivery from Ultimate Finish! Always delivered to work so the Mrs doesn'tt know lol! - AG bird droppings wipes - CG Butter Wet Wax - CG new car smell - Getechniq C2 - V3 (trying something new from my usual Auto Glym extra gloss)

No problem!

Others may be able to answer better, but yes they do respond well to a good remap / tuning box. Mine certainly did. The DSG box can handle to increase in power and torque, I had no issues or slipping.
