The Official Scirocco Chit Chat Thread!

[Neptuno]

Much as I would love to, Tony, impending baby arrival doesn't allow me to commit. If you guys arrive at a day and he still hasn't arrived, there is a possibility I could assist.

Thanks, T. No stork yet, but Erin believes he grew two inches in utero last night, based on his stretching.

Stop slacking in front of the computer and go build a house.

Yeah, that was valuable time I could have been strapping the ceiling actually, but I need a break now and then. Headed off to rent a drywall lift here shortly, and drywall will be showing up about noonish. Things are moving along. No pics lately because all of the things I've been doing are not interesting to see in pics or just little things that needed to get done.

[crazyaboutrocs]

It took us longer to strap the ceiling, so not as much drywall went up, but by the time we finished the third sheet, we have it down, so tomorrow we should move along pretty well.

I promise I'll record video once I get this installed on the car.

Made more progress today. The cathedral ceiling above the Kitchen/Living Room/Dining room is drywalled. Now an evening off to see Cracker, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Blues Traveler and Bare Naked Ladies on the waterfront.

Thank you for choosing the original color.

[punchbug]

Slam it to da earf. (it had to be said...but seriously, keep it enjoyable to drive, eh? ) The MkII is looking mighty fine!
Cholland, did you go to Vagkraft? I chose to do something else, since Klausie had to go see an old friend who is finally off her jack stands and happily blowing soot while whistling a happy tune

[cholland_]

Cholland, did you go to Vagkraft?

Nah, Vagkraft is stupid. I chose to stay and work support while dholland_ did the heavy lifting painting the car, while simultaneously attempting to help a friend do the front brakes on his ugly J-Body. Gave up after the first one because the caliper pins were completely seized. The repair was completed by Canadian Tire who had to cut the caliper off and replace it

Should someone say drop it?

Can I put the other 400 pounds of body parts, glass, interior and engine parts in and see where it decides to sit then, or should I just slam it now?

[TBerk]

Hey, Cholland_-

I spy, w/ my little eye; 5 bolt pattern...

Porsche 5x130!

Via these though, nothing special.

Your car is looking fantastic! I love that original brown.

Me behind the wheel, you, him, and another 'volunteer' to help w/ the corner balancing-

One Scirocco trip through early morning Commuter Traffic across the Bay Bridge, up into the East Bay Hills along Grizzly Peak, down through Newark (West Coast Stylez) and across the Dumbarton Bridge (Magna Carta!), Up Sand Hill Road to Skyline and across the ridge down to San Gregorio State Beach (or hidden Martins 'if we fell like skinny dipp'n), back onto Highway One and North to SF and the two (2!) twisty-est roads in SF (Lombard & Vermont Streets, Google is your friend), and over the Golden Gate Bridge, the Marin Headlands and a pit stop near Tomales Bay for fresh Oi-shters right outta da water, Sir Francis Drake Blvd to Bridge over the San Pablo Bay (Hello San Quentin!, hows it hang'n?), and down the same ridge as Grizzly Peak is on to Oaktown's Lake Merrit for a drive around one time, Grand Pris style. In a Spirited manner.

I'll get your Suspension settled in in no time...

[TBerk]

And if anybody needs a Motor Upgrade dialed in, I'm contemplating a run up Mounts Hamilton, Diablo, Twin Peaks, and Tamalpais in one day.

You guys seen these?.......18" ATS cups in production!....not that you would ever put them on a scirocco

[mellbergVWfan]

As long as the Rubber sticks out a little farther than the Rims, I'm game...

Well, these days there is NO shortage of 18" tire size options.....14" or 15" is a whole 'nother story

[Michael Bee]

I'd rock some 18" cups on my Tiggy-uan. If it wasn't a lease

Oh my, but that's tempting. Not sure I could ever talk the wife into it, tho - she's still pissed about the last dub I drove home...

As the saying goes, better to beg forgiveness than ask permission.

Bloody damned infernal ground nesting Hymenopterans! Got right into the nest before I noticed some "fire" on my hand...got me GOOD on the shoulder too. (same arm)!Serves me right for gardening. I tried to run (which is pretty comical in itself) but to no avail.
Yup, I will be useless for a few days now. They are bad this year.

Why d'ye think she's pissed about the last one?

Spoken like someone who has never been married. For the record Mandy wouldn't say anything because her dad is like that and to her it's normal.

Well, we just had this discussion with the other Adam of Wrong Season Racing (aka Wedgie) He broke up with someone because she didn't like all the time he spent wrenching on his sled. But that is a good part of who he is.....so she likely is the wrong girl I would say. But OTOH, not all girls are wired like me. I am pretty happy at the track. No, make that very happy. I have a lot of trouble with women who don't understand that a guy's interests may be a bit different than hers.

its comforting just to know that there are ladies out there who think that way.
