Living to do it again...it's my favorite sport, sort of like swimming with
sharks but with none of the pleasure.

Well, anywhere within four feet or so of my MkI is my happy zone, so I
head there whenever I can. That one has been maximum bang for the buck, at
least in the smiles department. And my silver one is just such an awesome
car. It'd be the reason for my addiction, though hardly an entry level
drug.

I do too, but here we have that thing called winter looming large, so
anything I can get done now I won't be doing when my fingers are snapping
off. Plastic/interior/wiring stuff is just better to do when it's warm.

It will be, I've seen the beautiful cars this list can produce with that
kind of TLC.

Whining's usually my forte, so whine on, it'll give me a rest from it!
