Late 2022, I came across a bit of a unicorn ... a manual 2017 GTI that needed attention after a light front-end mishap. Could not resist and another restoration project kicked off.

An altercation with a trayback ute did not end well for the little GTI.



Rare manual...

Came back from Rockhampton to Brisbane today, passing through some heavy rain in the Multivan on several occasions.

A number of times, I hit water on the curb side of the road at the bottom of slopes, and on each occasion the appearance was identical to the glaze that showed up everywhere...
