Ed's Dead Diablo Ph3 GTi6

[Ed Doe]

What a stressful day today!

So we moved mine & foobs' gti's off my grans drive finally (she was getting a bit fed up with both of them sat there looking sorry for themselves!!)

Today was garnished liberally with fail. It all started as follows:

I was supposed to be borrowing a car transporter trailer off work, so got my dad to meet me there (i dont have a trailer license, or a vehicle with a towbar.... or enough power to pull yer mums pants down....but thats another story...)

So it turned out after much fuckery that some bell-cheese from work had taken the key for the car-transporter trailer lock home with them for the Christmas break. So we had to make do with another trailer with much steeper ramps.... stay tuned for more fail...


So finally got over to my grans, started the cars to get em up to temp; opened the bonnet of mine, and a fecking live mouse drops out from inside the bonnet lining! Bastard thing. I sincerely hope he's not been at the electrics; THAT could be tragic...

After much trying to get the '6 onto the trailer on the flat (accompanied with yet more failing), we ended up parkingthe trailer at the bottom of a sharp slope and reversing the car on. literally JUST worked. I will post pics tomorrow, but basically there was about an inch between the trailer headboard and the rear bumper. and the front was poking over theback of the trailer. Shitting a brick doesn't come close to how i felt in the passenger seat on the way to the winter hideout (also known as the batcave).

The journey down the motorway was not without a few 'moments'; a gust of wind caught it side on and it all started weaving.. got it back under control, but its f*cked my rear bumper

Getting the car off the trailer was ridiculously easy compared to getting it on! And it's now sat in it's new home for the next few months whilst I procure manymany shiny bits for it prior to it coming back on the road for summer
