Bought me a runaround.... and passing blats.

[GetCarter]

This may be the most boring post I ever... er, post.

I picked up a Golf today... needed a run-around. I already have the automotive equivalent of wellington boots and a DJ and needed some jeans to kick around in. Anyway, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't seem to buy a diesel... my hand just kept moving right on the 'choose your model' page... and when I got right to the end I ticked the box. I'm such a klutz. BTW 4x4 was a must.



I'll post some proper pics when it stops bloody raining (June). The weather's a double shame as there is a small Pistonhead blat passing here in 2 hours - Lambo, Tiv, Aston & Fezza. You can probably guess who - they are well known in this place. I'm hoping I'll get a pic-of-the-day courtesy of them.

If it stops raining. (And yes, I know it's sunny down there )

Not in Embra it's not. Pissing it down.

If the Aston needs ticking over while you're playing with your new toy by the way....

oooh new toys are always good - unless its raining it grey down here

An R32 will make a very very nice runaround. Looks like the right colour too. Mk4 or 5 ?

Mk 5... Had to have silver or would have had to wait another 3 months (not many allocated here yet) and I'm about to put 4k miles on the clock in the next month.

[gregorio!]

Very nice. I'll look forward to some more artistic photos of it

[beano500]

Lovely stuff.


Anyway, come on! You're not going to let a little "local mist" stop you are you? I thought those D2X's were quite well sealed.....



(We're all due plenty of snow anyway - black car, white snow... this should be worth seeing!!!!)

GC, you are an utter, utter b4st4rd.

You are not only musically and photographically talented, you also have an inspirational/aspirational house, a quality Landy, a VERY nice AM, and now this...

I wish you didn't seem like such a thoroughly nice chap; it would make hating you so much easier...

It's OK - my accountant hates me enough for all the PH fraternity put together.

Nice Steve! I very nearly got one of them for my work horse. (with a DSG 'box), but ended up with one of these.






Its handy for selling drugs in too

Some pics from the mini PH blat to the hoonlands.
(R32 looking embarassingly tall at the end)











Fezza broke down and Shady is moving house

..but at least I got a slightly different 'pic-a-day'

BTW Greg... in that motor (and I assume it's a beemer), don't you find that nobody ever lets you in at junctions?

I sat in my M3 for 7 months, 2 weeks, 3 days, 5 hours, 27 minutes and 4 seconds trying to get onto the A46.

[Mr Noble]

Yup, until I point my Glock at them and they see the cluods of ganja smoke coming out of the window.



(not really, I am very good at letting people out and I think the good reward the good etc, never seem to have a problem, but I've only had it a week.)
