Spent most of this morning cleaning Ye Olde Golf because some C**T said "I'll be there to see it at about 2pm", sounded dead interested he did.
Valeted it, took out the CD player and installed an ol' tape deck I had lying around, put the original, uncut parcel shelf back in,.
Spent the next half hour or so doing loads of those little jobs that I'd put off for the last 12 months, or basically just put up with because I couldn't be bothered doing them before. Silly stuff, the cold start valve connector (fixed c/o tiestrap) the temperature gauge sender (fixed by crimping the connector on a bit more), checked the oil, actually put some antifreeze in.
Bastard never showed up, didn't ring, not a f*ckin peep.
Problem is, now the Golf looks better than it has for ages, has most of it's little annoying foibles ironed out, and actually ticks over without doing the traditional "Mk2 Golf self blippage" at traffic lights. I don't want to sell it, but I have to because of the Sierraver project :-(
Anyone wanna buy it, before I do something silly, like keep it for another year?
