Air-cooled to fire-ignition?
Lyneham, have you been out in yours recently?
My Ghia is set to have the trans fixed mid Sept. I’ve got to say, I’m quite excited by the prospect.

Re: EBay Finds
Can you also find out the English words for the ones Mario uses?
I know that's assuming that there are some and somebody who doesn't 'communicate' just by a series of grunts can be found.

Re: EBay Finds
The last time on Monday. It's still in one piece and that's not a piece of charcoal.
Enjoy your Ghia, no doubt there'll be sarcastic comments from those who envy you.

Well he seems to write letters down but maybe it's Geordie hieroglyphics?
We need an equivalent to a Rosetta Stone.
They may actually be more advanced than is commonly thought, possibly Cro Magnon level.

Do you have some sort of macro that inserts that or a similar one when VWs are mentioned as the replies seem somewhat robotic and repetitive?

Re: EBay Finds
Sorry Lyneham. I just had this sent to me today and couldn’t resist…
He saw my Ghia parked in the garage and was telling me about his Moms beetle back in the day.
Funnily, the guy from work who sent it to me has an Aldi TT and helped him out with some electrics in the door of his car. He saw my Ghia parked in the garage and was telling me about his Moms beetle back in the day.

I reckon very few to none.
Golf coupes just don't trigger those sort of emotions in my experience, they're white goods to buy on PCP.

People reminisce about their parents Allegro/Marina/etc. TT is a cool car to many, maybe not on here.LynehamHerc wrote: ↑Sat Sep 02, 2023 4:03 pmI wonder how many people will reminisce about their Moms Aldi TT?Broccoli wrote: ↑Sat Sep 02, 2023 3:28 pm Sorry Lyneham.

I reminisce about my Mum got her factory fresh Boxster in 2001. Of course I wasn't allowed to drive it (not least get insurance), even when I passed my driving test two years later. It's one of the major reasons why I got the one I did so I could actually drive it.
I also someone at school raving how much she loved the TT Mk1 when it came out and would love to get one in the future. It was an iconic design when it was realised.
