Oh hai, thanks for stopping by.


Name's Paul. Like my front valence? :p

I have a daily driving 2015 Golf TSI in Tungsten Silver.

Before I bore you with another stupid thread about another stupid 7, please allow me to bore you with a little bit about myself.



Over the years I have been to a few VW shows, the biggest one on the planet being Worthersee in Austria. Here I am in Velden Austria with The Colonel Bynum and my German brother Jens.



I love Bavaria (specifically The Chiemsee region). Bavaria and beer. Bavaria and rum. Bavaria and basically anything actually.

I like long walks on the beach in the springtime and my favorite color is blue.


Here are a few pics from my previous VWs. Yes I know, they all suck.

Once upon a time I owned a few Volkswagens...


'01 Jetta TDI



Upgraded to '04 R32 (at Mount St. Helen's overlook in WA State).



Moved back east and brought a few MK1's with me (^80 British Columbia Canada Rabbit).



'77 Rabbit




'78 Rabbit that I transformed..


''77 16v that I got from Montana


and my all time favorite mk1, my '80 Rabbit L "Ute" (named after the original owner).



MK3 TDI that I had for a minute..



Harlequin that I have for a bit.



traded the R32 in for a MK2 TT



MKV GTI that I did some mods on



MK6 that I had for maybe a year.


...and now...

a stock MK7 Golf

That 78' white Rabbit looks one cool car - how did you manage to remove all the clutter from the engine bay and inside the car - some lovely detailing...
