Atleast it doesn't look like your disc got damaged ?

The bottom of the caliper rubbed a bit on the disk but it looks like the caliper took more of the damage...

This is where the top of the caliper rubbed on the inside barrel of the wheel...

And the wheel...

I will never understand the price of fridges.

Double door - R20 000; cool
Single free standing fridge/ freezer - R20 000 each
Tiny fit in your pocket wine fridge - R500 000 000

Guess which combination of items my wife wants

Yikes!
Glad that wasn't a lot more serious.

Vws aren't the same without Morne to watch over the wekkas.

Same Morne that worked at Hatfield? If so, for many years I took my Golf to Frans who worked with Morne and then started his own company. Things went pear shaped two years ago with the service because God knows what his driver did on the way to deliver my car, think they had a KFC party judging by the grease stains on the seats. Frans did have the car valeted but still.

This year I used another guy but the car doesn't feel right. Does anyone know where Morne is?

Paying Takealot for next-day delivery (for a gift) and it ends up not coming the next day.

They refund you the R70, but I'm still without a gift (and hopeful that it is still coming, so I don't do anything on the day about it).

A person who hoots at the gate when they arrive, and especially those who hoot when they leave in the morning. What is the purpose of hooting to say "goodbye"? It's even more disgusting if you live next door to someone who does it all year round, even on weekends and public holidays.
Jip.

We have a fat **** at 6:30PM to 7PM that toots and wait for the kids to exit the house to open the gate for it.

Yep, same Morne, he serviced all my VAG cars privately after their maintenance/service plans expired but he is enjoying life in Canada now still working on VW's. I haven't used VAG Spec Centre which Frans started myself but know many that have and they are still highly regarded. I make use of either Solid Cafe, Ray used to work for Audi, or Jared at JS Worx who is a good friend and despite my Touareg's recent brake issue, does excellent work. In Gauteng, the VW guru is still Stephan, especially with Touareg's but he is far from me so I'll only use him for big jobs like engine or gearbox out work.
