I have to admit, I forgot to ask (I was a little upset at the time), but seeing it was a 2012 Honda Jazz - I assume so.

Whilst washing my GTi over the weekend, noticed my first damage - gutter rash on one of my 18" alloys. Turns out my fiance had brushed against the gutter whilst going through the Target carpark at the Canberra Centre - OUCH!

This is after I have spent the last 12 months selecting my parking spot at all the local shopping centres etc. Ever notice that it doesn't matter where you choose to park your car (and how many empty spaces you leave between your car and the next), upon returning you will find some old beaten up car parked right up against yours? With lots of empty spaces still around.....

I do the same and it's usually a 4wd as well....

You could always let my wife park your car. She'll drive past the single parking spot with a pillar on each side to park in the middle of a three spot jobby. The 4wds are usually on both sides when we get back.

4WD are ok their doors are large enough for them to squeeze out without banging you.. it is 2 door coupes I avoid as they usually have cessna wings which need good opening to get out

Has anyone had problems with their wifes engagement ring scratching the crap out of the area around the handles? Bloody diamonds.

Did this Golf R belong to anyone?

Damaged 2011 Volkswagen Golf VI R Hatch




I've been told the estimated overall cost to buy it and get it back on road would be about $28k, since the engine looks ok, rails look straight, and side damage is generally pretty easy to fix. Headlight is probably the most expensive part to replace.
