drives slower
than me an idiot, and
everyone who drives faster
a maniac?

Wow!

August 2004
Added
a couple more R32
reviews on the R32
information page, from
MotorWeek, Car & Driver, and another

‘most
significant new car of the year’!.
I
also added some data on the mileage
I’ve
been getting with the R32, also on the R32
information page.

July 2004
Added
a new page, Mindless
minutiae—thoughts and
opinions on life, the universe, and
everything (to paraphrase the late Douglas Adams). Basically whatever
doesn’t fit into the other pages. Not necessarily auto
related.
Added
some R32 review articles
on the R32
information page.
Added
a link to the home page
of the Chesapeake
Dubs, a VW club
in Maryland, on the Favourite
links page.
Yesterday
I drove up to Ripken
Stadium (Aberdeen, MD) to watch an autox event (my first!) and to meet
a fellow vortexer
racing this weekend. In addition to insight on autox racing, he
generously gave me the stainless steel keychain and valve stem caps
from the VW .:R
accessories kit.
 This
was great because I much
prefer my 4-motion license frame over the .:R
license frame provided in the kit (which VW is selling for $39!!!).

Received
and installed a VW
6-disc CD changer on 8 July.
Wow, already I can’t imagine how
I ever survived without one!
Added
a pdf file of the
official VW accessories for the U.S. spec R32 on the R32
information page.

July 2004
Added
a page of some of my
2003 GTI 1.8T pics before trade-in. I made some minor mods and
couldn’t just let the pics die of neglect on my hard-drive.
Added
a picture to Parts
& Accessories comparing
the lengths of stock and S2000 type
antenna masts.

Hi
everyone! Welcome to the
first day of my new website. This website is very much a
work-in-progress. Please report any problems or broken links here.
Thanks!
This
morning I had EIP’s
street series short
shift and motor mount installed.
Great stuff!
