I'm old....

[Thomasfranklinfranklin]

I just realized... I love my damn car. I've owned it for over 30 years. Damn....I'm old... old people say that kind of thing, right?!!?! 48 and wish I looked as good as my car..... Bet you young guys have never seen actual performance Catalogs. Here is what they look like. You would have to write a letter with a stamp and ask for one. Weeks later they would mail you one. Post office, It's what we used before the internet. We had to actually go to the junk yard with the tape measure and try to swap stuff over. We could not look it up on the internet instantly. Where did I find that kind of time?

30 Years! Congrats Thomas! I doubt there'll be too many original Mk6 and 7 GTI owners 30 years from now and the websites we click on will all be long gone in 5 years... How things change!

All I want to say is, let me know if you want to sell it

I will never sell it. When it is time to pass the torch I will give it away to the right person.


I give Stuff Away when I could. I owned a automotive repair shop and often I came across stuff people might want. I gave away a few cars here and I've never had to work so hard to give cars away!

VWVortex.com - Free Stuff Give Away!!

Oh I remember the catalogues
I may have a TSR catalogue from the early nineties, I found it in a pile of stuff about 5 years ago ... can't remember if I threw it or not
Things are so easy now, and the prices back then were obscene (because there were very few people who did it - though I would argue they did it better)
