Call me a chav if you like, but I like this sound… From a Carbon Dynamic Airbox on my MK4 R32. *picture by Churchill-Images.com

My lovely mate Zombie honoured me with his photography skills this weekend. Totally worth sharing.

This weekend, my year long dream came true as my favourite mechanics fitted a very shiny, awfully expensive and thoroughly spiffing Miltek exhaust to my R32. They had a bit of a nightmare when they discovered that there were no replacement gaskets with the new system and the old ones were rusted beyond use, but [...]

It’s the little things in life

Life is inherently stressful and mundane. Which is why you need to find something you love and make the most of it. You could be boring and sensible or live life to the fullest. I have several passions in life, my wife, my car, my gaming community, my cats, writing – each offers me a [...]

Probably the best wife in the world

Carlsberg don’t make wives, but if they did, they wouldn’t be as good as mine. It’s Monday morning, I’m bathing in the warm, snotty glow of manflu and the start-of-the-week blues, but I am sitting opposite the worlds best wife as she quietly sits reading her paper. Last week marked my 30th year on planet [...]

I got home last night and fancied going for a drive. I made an excuse that I wanted to go an buy some booze, but really I just wanted a reason to be able to go for a little drive. This would never have happened in the old days. A car was simply a necessary [...]

I grumbled about this a bit before, but I thought it was worth brining up again now I have a picture to demonstrate what I mean. The above is the underneath view of the back end of my VW Golf Mk4 R32. You can see the exhaust pipes are a little worn, but more than [...]

As you know, I recently got my BBS LM wheels on my .:R32. I haven’t yet had the chance to snap a good photo. I meant to at the weekend when the weather was nice, but got distracted somehow with swimming pools and potted plants. This morning I took a couple of shots on my [...]

I’m going to geek up the blog petrol head style now, ever so briefly. While my car was up in the air at the weekend, having the LM’s put on, I took the chance to sneak a look at the underneath (cursing myself for forgetting my camera/phone). It’s in relatively good condition, although the exhaust [...]

Doh! Broken Coil Spring :(

Popped to the garage today to get them to stick my BBS LM wheels on my R32. Couldn’t do it myself as the wheels had ceased to the hub. They did it and it looks sweet, but in the meantime, they discovered one of the coil springs (part of the suspension) has broken. Sucks. So [...]
