If you're not comfortable driving it, don't risk it.
There'll be plenty more Ace meets on the horizon.

That's what I was thinking...I really have been looking forward to getting it down there this time but I took it for a small spin on Sunday and didn't feel great driving it.
It's a shame they're not fixed after all, but I'd rather not crash it and save it for next month....Just need a lift there now, or could take Polo I guess seeing as Tommi's only has one seat lol

Tommi says it's fine to drive with but I don't like it, especially if it's going to be icy tonight. Pumping the brakes all the time isn't going to be much fun the whole journey there and back in traffic...what do ppl think? Drive carefully or not risk it??
DO. NOT. RISK. IT. The reward is not worth the risk. Besides, a VW Polo is German, (sort of, as they were built in Spain), right?

You get one life - why risk it?? I like going to the Ace but I wouldn't risk an accident to get there.

Thanks guys, you've all made up my mind for me! I'll bring my camera and come in the Polo, will make next month more exciting for me

On another tangent, is it me or should they put a year cut-off on German Car Night (for example 1999) to encourage the older model owners to come along? I'm pretty bored of looking at late-model tat at these meets, it was like walking through a supermarket car park! If I want to look a tarted-up X6 I can walk through Belgravia.
