Again, I cannot believe this is the first time I've seen this thread!! dammit.

good luck with the repairs Geoff, must be incredibly frstrating for you

(or ignore yours and just dont give Matty his car back!!)

Yeah I want my car back!!! When I get back from this wonderful holiday

But yeah its good to hear about the outcome

[geoff_gti]

You'll just have to wait! It's fun too

edit: I mean, I'm taking good care of it!

[gareth_oau]

hey Geoff, you never told me it was Matty's polo that you were doing all those donuts in - have you got the videos uploaded on youtube yet?

[geoff_gti]

but I thought you were uploading them ??? it was your video camera lol

[polo_spec_d]

Dont worry Matt, noone will believe that a diesel polo can do that

[fuzion]

LSD would be a very good thing to do .. would solve a lot of problems and put the power down to the ground!

whilst yoru there, dyno it! im curious to see what it'd be putting out with that heat over in WA! :p

ive gotta get mine done this year too.. its on its way i can feel it! eek

[geoff_gti]

Dont worry Matt, noone will believe that a diesel polo can do that

That's what he thought...

Anyway, got mine back yesterday!! Happy birthday to me

New (2nd hand) box & diff installed. Gonna try and give it a good run this weekend to test how it feels (lucky WA has a public hol on Monday too ) but I reckon it will be ok fingers crossed cos it's only got 30k on it etc. They will be giving it a thorough checking in a couple of weeks once it's been running for a bit and settled in.

Now I have two dubs in the driveway to wash haha
