[Capt.Dreadz]

If you're in the the UK & your VW was stolen, chances are this guy had it. Biggest stolen car ring in UK history & the leader is a dub head.

[Capt.Dreadz]

For those Kung Fu heads....

Any sign of the vortex thread for this car as yet? I've been using tin-eye since Goog image search is blocked on my computer

[dubsport87]

Hey Rajieeeeev is your car done yet?

[Capt.Dreadz]

Any sign of the vortex thread for this car as yet?

I have many hours into searching (Vortex) for that car & no luck I've been searching Wheel Whores lately.

[. W e r d n a]

I've searched using every new picture that I found from my searches, and from reading translated sites. Nothing.

[FaRfAdEt Qc]

Spence moved from shared shop setup to his own.

No real progress to speak of since the shop isn't up and running yet.

Off topic thread? new to me

Is that a DJM that I spy in the background? 600? 800?

[Capt.Dreadz]

600

[odj]

Right on. What do you spin?

[black gti]

that's the biggest iphone I've ever seen

[der skillz]

greatest idea ever.

[Capt.Dreadz]

Right on. What do you spin?

Strictly reggae. And none of that Serato/IPhone/Wireless DJ'ing sh*t. 12,10 & 45's .

[odj]

**** yeah! My buddy has a sh*t ton of Reggae & old Dub 45's. You have any mixes up?

I jumped on the CD bandwagon a while ago, when a single 12" started to cost me $13, and have been using Serato for the last six months. It's different, but I'm digging it.

Still got the vinyl though, and I'll never get rid of it. Blurry pic of the stash (conveniently located next to the beer fridge):

[Capt.Dreadz]

I use to have a few mixes up but it's been a long time. I haven't messed with my equipment in a long time. Car sh*t took priority. All my vinyl is packed away in plastic bins. Thought about taking them out & spinning the other day. I really miss it.

Here's me on my B-day at my brothers house on his set. He's since upgraded. He uses the DJM 800 & a pr of dual 15" EV's.

[odj]

Music is an expensive hobby, man, just like cars. Spinning is like riding a bike... it'll still be there for ya if you want to come back to it.

[Capt.Dreadz]

You're right. I pulled them out during the summer & within 10 min. the skills came right back. You're also right in that it is expensive. The Pioneer 600 cost me nearly a grand. SL 1200's still go for $1200 a set. I have an easy $10k into my set and it's not even all that. definitely can't do any parties.

Being that you're into DnB, have you tried AudioTool. Very addicting

[DüüüG]

Here's something way off topic.. anyone want to recommend some good podcasts? I'm strapped to my headphones 8-10 hours a day these days, I burn through titles pretty quickly.

A few really good ones I'm into:

That's what I was wondering too

[fosterfobag]

[JorgenP]

I know this frontend is calle "Westy", but what's the official name of it and factory origin?

[black gti]

volkswagen assembled cars in westmoreland pennsylvania usa from about 1978-1988

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswa...Assembly_Plant



someone abbreviated it "westy" along the way

not to be confused with westfalia buses / vanagons (westfalia-werke is a german company offering conversions like the pop up roof etc)



both abbreviated 'westy' because here in US we abbreviate everything to make it confusing for foreigners

[JorgenP]

Thanks! So the mk1 lights fit a mk2 easily?

[odj]

The "westy" cars used the same headlamps. 3"x4" oslt.

[kinkerstinker]

the grilles are different.

[Capt.Dreadz]

I was thinking....Every model except for the mk3 are still being made. All the mk2 tooling/dye's went to China & Australia. MK1 tooling went to South Africa. China got the mk4 leftovers too. VW are some true hustlers. Making money on something that was deemed to be destroyed. FAW is making them under VW license and VW is getting 50%.
