The inspiration for turning the mk2 into a track project, Heres one scary mk1 straight from Jaffaville… I Present project poo.

Now getting past my VW fetish for today, I have a new all time favourite magazine FS, or Free Style magazine has to be the best value for money for the bargain price of $10 you get Minitrucks, Choppers, Hot Cars, Tattoo culture, Art, Music, Skateboarding and Woman too.
Packaged in a mixture of Gloss and Matt paper with a spine so it looks good on the bookshelf.

The Layout is somewhat lacking, when compared to the polished trife we are used too in NZ (the likes of NZPC and Manual) but it makes up for that with bulk material… all im waiting for now is it to flop in NZ… or worse off go the way of all my old favourites… as in chok full of advertisments with a magazine thrown in as after-thought.

Another Thing i’ve been getting into, and rather late I admit, is Big Bang Theory, its unfortunate that its a sitcom, as I general rule I neglect anything with a laugh track, unfortunate because I’ve kept off watching it for so long.

Anyways catch you on the flip flop

I found it! possibly the best video to ever come out of NZTV, who remembers the old M2 days of yore…

Armand Van Helden – Shake that ass 3:25

photos out and about NZ in my mk2 golf, and some random vask shots.

Not only does Volkswagen make the best car’s (I’m biased, cry me a river) cult classics like the Hitlermobile (beetle) Hippymobile (air cooled – comby) and awesomemobile (golf).
They make the best ads.
Here’s a mixture of both you may enjoy (helga… you are like an ipod all clad in white)

at some point i’ll do another “car ad’s” dump for you to enjoy, theres a really really good mitsubishi new zealand one I can think of… oh oh and the classic hilux ad’s with Crumpy…

-hope’s you enjoy

The Hot Grits – Headlights 4:19 (see below)

A quick question, and I know, I know, I’m behind in the time’s, Sarah and I saw this absolute gem on Alt TV last night (god bless em) now I can understand how the music (“The Hot Grits – Headlights”) wont be to everyone’s taste, but watch the video, with its not so subtle social commentary.
