··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...Love my Golf, but HATE the shift knob. Plastic and surprisingly square. Not sure why the ditched the classic golf ball knob of the past generations.
Anyway, plan to fix that this weekend…
One, you do not live where it gets hot.
Two, I drove an MK 8 Golf R DSG today and it’s a very confusing car with interesting choices.

·Ahh, fortunately mine is a Californian import, so was largely rust free. I’ve done too many jobs to remember on it! The beam im fitting is a ‘Dogback’ air bag beam. Great quality, really nicely engineered. Recently fitted some ISP West camping hinges, so the back seat folds flat, allowing you to sleep in it. Here are some more pics, if you’re interested..
Wow!!

I’ve been quite happy with the MK8.
That’s not to say the cockpit did not take a little getting used to. But after living with it for a bit I quite like it.
I have had a MK7 and MK6 previously and it’s leagues ahead in my opinion.
I could still use a couple knobs instead of haptics, but overall I’m pleased.
I just got done putting the new knob in.

·Drove it to the office today for the first time.
Slight shimmy at 70mph, but other than that nice and tight.

·I went to BugJam at SantaPod (uk) last weekend. Squareback performed well with its new air ride. Pictured with my friends 1968 panel van and another friend’s Splitty.

·Goddamn that thing is proper.
I need to get mine outside for a drive. I haven't started it in over a month.

··Married... with childrenI had a test drive in the new M3 today. It had racing carbon seats that were too small for this fat fella to fit in properly. I knew it, the salesman knew it, even the other people in the show room knew it. Cool car built for a younger audience.

The interesting part was its second hand value, about €25k under list. Then I drove the M8 Competition which was sex on 4 wheels and was so close to buying until they lowballed me on my car, then my phone rang, unknown number “Hello, this is Rolex, we have your Starbucks” so I am wearing a new watch 😂

·Dang guy you are out here shopping M3 wagons and getting calls from Rolex?!
That is straight up fantasy land for me! 🤣
I guess I'll just keep driving my glorified Golf and wearing an old Tutor and going on about my day haha.

As far as the Rolex goes, I wasn't even on the list for a Starbuck, it was for a Hulk and from many moons ago. The lady told me she has to call 5-10 people now when pieces turn up as the flipper market has cooled down. I am not complaining 😀

·Well maybe I'll get a call for my Polar Explorer 2!
Won't hold my breath....
I'd honestly probably pass on it at this point in time anyway.
Bought that dumb Land Rover instead!

··Married... with childrenI would take the Landrover over the explorer 2 any day.
A friend had one 25+ years ago and the seats were so comfortable you felt like you were sinking into them.
