Updates 2009

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

Archived Updates: 2004; 2005; 2006; 2007; 2008; 2009; 2010;

3 August 2009

I installed some VentureShield clear sticker on the R’s front.

Some pics after a long overdue wash.

I installed a Sharan antenna.

10 May 2009

I finally installed my summer tires and O.Z. wheels.

I had the R’s front repainted. This past year has been a very expensive one for auto expenses.

18 April 2009

I came across another review of the MkIV R32 from the Florida Times-Union, titled, Power Golf, Anyone? Find it in the reviews section.

11 April 2009

These days I no longer make a concerted effort to avoid VW dealerships. I went to one last week to have the R’s ambient temperature sensor looked at.

The stock Aristos have been relegated to winter wheel status. See the wheels I purchased for the other three seasons (weather permitting).

9^th March 2009

It’s been several months since my last update. Life happens. I wonder if any one cared, let alone noticed? I jest. I’m glad to know at least one person found this site helpful during the hiatus, at least. My world is complete. :o)

Anywhoo, the main reason for this site’s silence was my relocation to wintry northern climes (relatively speaking). I was on the verge of selling my R when by brother told me RIV (Canada Registrar of Imported Vehicles) had updated the list and 2004 Volkswagen Golf R32s can now be imported to Canada. Happy days!

I recently installed Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D winter performance tires.

I found evidence first-hand that HIDs give off less heat than stock headlamps. Not really a good thing when driving in winter conditions.
