Would rather 3 bikes + 2 cars :doe: at least then everything could stay in the garage.
Fair. Currently my two cars are outside, with the two bikes and the lady's car in the garage. Need to make some space.

2 bikes + 2-3 days worth of track day ancillaries is no bueno.

Also, at a glance, there doesn’t appear to be an off the shelf hitch beyond MY2010.
There isn't an off the shelf one for the Mk4 R either but that didn't stop me.

Yes, it has a “hatch”. It is handsome, but you and I both know that it’s fair less useable than than a traditional egg.

Also the new ones look better.

There's a few things in the VAG portfolio that still interest me, but they are all gambles.

That fucking turbo inline five in the RS3 and RS TT rustles my jimmies.

Also, tell me more about this Miata. I had an S2000 and now have a '90 NA. It could not be further from the R32 but is a much more cost-effective toy.

Re: Ask any racer, any real racer...

which ones did you go with? Went back to KW V3s. Basically what I had before (KW ClubSports) but minus camber adjustment and using OEM bearings/bushings again. It'll be at near stock ride height so I don't need the camber adjustment and would like less harshness. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just put a few things together. Cresson is 3 hours from me. I too have an R32.

Temptation is high.

And new coilovers arrive Friday.

My brother was back in NOLA right before the new year and was sad to report that The Blind Pelican is permanently closed.

I'm impressed at how you shoehorned the trailer into that corner. What do you have holding the QuickJack to the wall? Did you get their wall hangers or something else? This also makes me want to get some of the ceiling hung shelving and ditch the floor shelves that I have. It would open things up ni...
