    Please elaborate.

    It's just a Yaris to basically get me to and from College and some other places. 86K Miles on and everything's perfect on it, just needs a wash and good clean inside. Will throw up some shoddy pictures tomorrow when it's cleaned.

    I think my car goes for moonlight drives on its own as I've just checked my mileage and I have 1,500km done and I only have the car 2 weeks. I know I love to drive but that's crazy :D

    My dad collected me from college to night and by the time he got home he had 900km on the trip. Alot considering he filled it and reset the trip this morning:eek:. He went from kilkenny to Longford this morning does his job there he does inspection on metal. Then had to drive to Dublin do some Work up there he went to a few places in Dublin to do bits and pieces. Then he drove to cork to collect me then we went home to Kilkenny. In saying all that he doesn't do that everyday he normally does 350km. In the last couple of weeks the mileage is just flying up on the 11 octavia. Still as a car it's so comfortable and eats through the miles. The sat nav and cruise control is handy too. I asked him does he get sick of all the driving he says he loves it.

    Every moment it lives, is agony. Some things were not meant for man's science to do.

    Came back to the car today and noticed this.. bumper cracked and a chunk flaking off (came away in my hand).

    Can't be 100% sure that it happened today but pretty p!ssed off regardless. I haven't hit anything myself so looks like someone maybe hit it with a hitch or something as it's very localized damage.

    Handed my car to the dealer today and took a car from them until my new one arrives. It was parked up 10 minutes before it was out on a test drive. Heart sank seeing it.
