Wow! Long time since my last update—it’s been a while because
the server hosting this site was moved to a different location.

Mitsubishi Evo RS and R32. Also added a couple R32 reviews from
pridesource.com and thetruthaboutcars.com-- check out the R32 reviews.
Added a Quicktime movie of the R32 :o). It’s
on the R32 Videos section.

Nero M+S. Pics in Parts & Accessories.

August 2004
Added a couple more R32 reviews on the R32 information
page, from MotorWeek, Car & Driver, and another from European Car—where
the R32 was tied for the ‘most significant new car of the year’!.
I also added some data on the mileage I’ve been getting
with the R32, also on the R32 information page.

July 2004
Added a new page, Mindless minutiae—thoughts
and opinions on life, the universe, and everything (to paraphrase the late Douglas
Adams). Basically whatever doesn’t fit into the other pages. Not necessarily
auto related.
Added some R32 review articles on the R32 information
page.
Added a link to the home page of the Chesapeake Dubs, a VW club in
Maryland, on the Favourite
links page.
Yesterday I drove up to Ripken Stadium
(Aberdeen, MD) to watch an autox event (my first!) and to meet a fellow vortexer racing this
weekend. In addition to insight on autox racing, he generously gave me the
stainless steel keychain and valve stem caps from the VW .:R
accessories kit.
This was great because I much prefer my
4-motion license frame over the .:R license frame provided in the
kit (which VW is selling for $39!!!).

10 July 2004
Added some new exterior pics after
a wash at
Gaithersburg, MD, and Tyson’s Corner, VA.
Received and installed a VW
6-disc CD changer on 8 July. Wow, already I can’t imagine how I ever
survived without one!
Added a pdf file of the official VW accessories
for the U.S. spec R32 on the R32
information page.

6 July 2004
Added a page of some of my 2003 GTI 1.8T pics
before trade-in. I made some minor mods and couldn’t just let the pics die of
neglect on my hard-drive.
Added a picture to Parts
& Accessories comparing the lengths of stock and S2000 type antenna
masts.

5 July 2004
Changed photos to thumbs, so hopefully pages
won’t take too long to load. Click pictures to enlarge! Added pic
of the installed EIP short shift.

3 July 2004
Hi everyone! Welcome to the first day of my
new website. This website is very much a work-in-progress. Please report any
problems or broken links here. Thanks!
This morning I had EIP’s street series short
shift and motor mount installed. Great stuff!
