On the first day of our 12-month stint with the Leon FR, I cut a van driver up on the A41. I apologise now - it was late, someone had left the gas on, my dog ate my Highway Code etc, etc.
Either way, I’m sorry. Because ever since, our SEAT has been beset by bad luck. Maybe the van was driven by a voodoo witch doctor who was having a bad day, as KS56 VRE seems to be cursed.
Which is a shame, as it all started so well. After an alloy wheel was damaged by a pull-through carwash (which the firm thankfully replaced for free) in December, we were kindly offered a new paint treatment from a company called Permagard.
It involves plenty of technical and chemical jargon, but basically it’s a special reactive polymer that seals the external finish of the car and protects it from the elements. But the best bit is you only need a sponge and water to clean it. No shampoo or polish. Just H20!
