I found a VHS player at a second hand shop and got into buying and watching VHS before the pandemic and it was actually relaxing. Even with DVD/Blu ray I can’t get as immersed as I was with watching VHS. I would know that at night I was going to watch D.A.R.Y.L and just kick back and not get off the couch. It was a whole thing…power surge fried my player and haven’t found another one yet

Physical media is the way

Zen mind, Beginners mind

Heck yeah analog is cool ! Once I realized there were several editions I began a quest to get them all. I’m a hoarder.

That is amazing what those apps can do . Friends have the plant and constellation identifiers and they are fun to mess with. They scare me though 🤣

It’s just the fronts . They have never been on a car . I would send them your way for cost of shipping and say $30 for my time . I’m pretty sure I have some boxes from other shocks and buble wrap to ship. I can snap some pics later if you want and find out shipping cost sometime this week or whenever you would be interested I’ve had them sitting around for many years and am in no rush. I’d just like someone to use them .

I’m running koni orange on my tdi now and they’re solid but adjustable dampening on board is a nice option. Be real nice with H&R springs 🤌

Scirocco’s always handled well . Almost scary sometimes. A good friend had a real nice g60 swap back in the 90’s and he would eat us all up on the backroads. I could see a 12v keeping that thing planted.

I just preferred the 8v’s in the mk2’s , always felt screwy digging into a turn with the VR . It was a blast in a straight line

I’ve got a new set of koni yellow front shocks for a scirocco that need a good home but I haven’t seen one on the road anywhere in my area for a long time. It’s a shame because they are iconic cars!

I have not , my sister has an app like that , possibly the same one , I’ll have to ask her about it.

My father is pretty good with bird identification and would always point them out on walks in the woods.

I got hooked on field guides after getting a few as a kid for birthdays etc. I’ve collected several editions of Petersons and National Audubon field guides . I highly recommend both . NA has actual pictures but Peterson’s have rendered images of the birds in flight, their seasonal plumage and are a bit more comprehensive .

That would have been a memorable experience ! Nature kicks ass ! I too am a fan of blue birds of all kinds. Im lucky enough to have dozens of bluebirds, quite a few indigo bunting and a whole mess of Bluejays flying around my home. A few other notable birds I get to see regularly are piliated woodpeckers ( the big woody woodpecker types) , yellow flickers and my personal favorite ( which really arent that special but theyre my #1 for their personality alone) the Carolina wren.

Wish I wouldn’t have seen the blue shitbird though

I was looking at a car this guy was selling , we’re standing there talking about a price and this amazing blue dove lands a few feet away. It’s was fucking saphire blue.

The guy selling the car looks at me and says “wooooah I’ve never seen a blue bird like that before”. He was blown away.

I said “are you sure buddy because there’s a port a John business right around the corner and that bird has been swimming in one of the shit houses”

I did not buy the car

Ha ! Yeah I just came over here…exploring ather sites beyond reddit Lol. Im hoping this place gets more traffic!

I think ECS has repros. I’ve had a lot of mk2’s since the 90’s and was always a fan of the US small bumpers with the fat trim. Euro bumpers are my second favorite , both look good with the 16v lower spoiler 🤌.

A 1.8t swap is always nice , I’ve had one 12v mk2 and it just wasn’t fun on the twisties, too heavy in the front end. My favorite swap ( I’ve had) was the ABA / cross-flow.

I’m trying to figure out why I can’t post pics but I’ll get it figured out soon 🤙

Nice car . That’s a nice combo for a swap . Please don’t do big bumpers
