Just want to share myself and my partners recent experience. Tell me what you think, and I’d love to hear about any similar experiences you’ve had too! So I think this is one we’ve all been through at some stage. An unexpected event that ends up ruining our pride and joy 😬 Last week my girlfriend hit a deer on the way home from a coffee run. She called me in a panic, and of course I thought the worst. Is she okay? Is the car totalled?.. luckily enough though it wasn’t that bad. She told me she was fine and the car seemed okay, and she said she would be okay to get home she didn’t need me to come down. Her main worry was the deer who had run away from the scene of his crime 👀🤣 **In all seriousness though, we contacted our local animal sanctuary and they told us it happens, and they come across deers all the time who have gotten injuries and 90% of the time they end up fine. They reassured us that there are volunteer groups that specifically monitor and maintain the deer in the area and that there was nothing more we could actually do.** So back to the car.. My girlfriend arrives home and her Volkswagen Golf’s head lamp lense was smashed, her fog light in her bumper had been knocked loose, and there was a little tiny dent and scratch on her bonnet where the deers horn had hit it. And of course my girlfriend’s car was due in for its national car test the following week, nice! 😒 After a quick hug and a cup of tea for my lady, I got to work with sourcing parts. I checked a part supplier, that’s known to do cheap OE parts (not genuine from the manufacturer) and I found my girlfriend’s head lamp for €165. After looking to make sure it was the exact same I noticed one difference, my girlfriend’s original head lamp had a VW emblem inside the light where the bulb housing was. A pretty cool design I have to say! So I thought about it for a while, and a few things came to mind.. 1. The VW badge is going to be noticed by anyone trying to knock some money off the price when we try to resell.. 2. I had replaced a head lamp on my Audi, and the new head lamp was much clearer than the old one, which had oxidised a little over time. 3. I’m sure I can get one cheaper in a salvage yard!

Fresh set of brakes 😎 Unfortunately I left it too long to do them, and it cost me a set of discs! 😫 Luckily I could do them myself, and I love the shiny look of new brakes so it isn’t that bad I suppose 😅 You should always keep an eye on your brake pads or it could end up costing you! 👀 Would anyone be interested in seeing a class done that focuses on brakes? Let me know in the comments 👌
