Yes, I have been slacking. New car, almost a month old and still no pictures online. Well, I FINALLY have some to put up. More to the point, I’ve finally taken the time to post them. HERE is the page for the new Golf. I’m not happy with the web page, so I will be re-designing it eventually. But then again, I’ve been gonna do the whole site over. You’d almost think I have been busy ;-|. Only mods done to the car so far: Tinted the windows 20% all the way around, and put some GTI tail lights on the back. Tails are a subtle change, but they look much better then the stock ones. Just about 1 month old, and already about to hit the 6000km mark. /me sings “I get around” by the Beach Boys.
Not to much else new that I can think of. Shannon and I are actively looking for a house in Hagersville now. We wanted to build, but don’t look like that’s gonna happen, but we will hopefully be able to get a new house from a developer. Not the same as having family build it, but its still a new house, built more to what we want. We really don’t like the idea of moving in to a ‘previously enjoyed’ home and having to fix or replace things. Want a clean and fresh start.
Got a call into the Bug Barn. Getting a quote on what it will cost to put the new front clip on the bug, and also how much it would be to get the car all prepped for paint. Not gonna be able to finish it right now, but I also don’t want a years worth of work to go to waste by letting it get covered in surface rust over the damp winter. Sure would be nice to start next years VW Get togethers’ off by driving to it in the beetle. For those who don’t know, I’ve hung up the Fullsizechevy forums, and started reading the vwvortex forums. Basically they are online communities where enthusiasts share information, pictures, and stuff like that. The local guys in Hamilton, Oakville, Burlington, some Toronto all get together every Tuesday night in Burlington to shoot the breeze, check out each others cars and go for a beer afterwards. Been to a couple, met some new friends and had a pretty good time. However with winter upon us, the time for standing around cars is coming to an end for the season.
That’s it for me for now. You go now. Come back later
