…to me. Yesterday I turned 22. The best part of my birthday is that my wife bought me a new camera! I’ve been aching to replace my five year old digi that I got back in high school. The replacement is a Fujifilm FinePix S700. It has all kinds of crazy features that I need [...]

Got another email from Dimitri today:
Yo Mike,
goddamn man !!!!!!
I went to the postoffice and they told us that the box is too big for them for sending it !!!
They said us about another postoffice a bit further..
There we were told just the same !!!! (I was getting angry at that time)
After that we drove [...]

Don’t get too worried reading the title, everything is back to normal now.
On Saturday morning I left town with a couple other local cars to head for Dubuque, IA for Projekt German’s Dubuque GTG II. It was about 400 miles round trip with a really scenic drive once we got near the Dubuque area. It [...]

Last Friday I got word from Dimitri that my package had finally arrived in Antwerp, Belgium. It ended up taking about 8 business days to get there plus another 5-6 before he could get it released. I ended up having to fax over a letter stating the contents of the box (which cost $6 to [...]

Yesterday I got a box from Black Forest Industries that included a Euro front bumper support, a stubby antenna for Stef’s Beetle and a “your wheels suck” shirt. I placed the order on Sunday night and everything shipped out the next day. This has been my second ordering experience with BFI and again I’m [...]

Not because I got into an accident or because somebody stole my bumper, but because my uni-black North American Jetta front bumper is packed up in a box and [...]

…badly!

The wheels are Ronal LS and I’ve been looking at them for quite a while. This thread I stumbled across on Vortex today is now BEGGING me to get them…
Anybody want to lend me some cash?

After bolting on my other sideskirt last night I discovered that my front brake pads are about toasted. This didn’t bother me too much since I’ve had a set of Mk4 calipers with stainless lines sitting around in my garage for about six months now just waiting for me to do a brake upgrade, so [...]

A week or so ago I finally picked up the GLX sideskirts I’ve always wanted for the car. I got them from a guy up in Dubuque in exchange for rebuilding his website. Last night I got the passenger side installed and am still waiting to do the driver side. Comparing both sides of the [...]

I’m not the only one who takes pictures of my car! After combing through more of the Treffen picture threads on Vortex and some other sites I managed to find a few shots of my car that other people snapped. It’s always neat to see that other people are also interested in your car.
