The last 7 years

In June it will be 7 years since I bought my 2nd Mk2, the one that took me back to my 20's when I had the first one.

Anyway, having to transfer old posts over to the new site has made me look back at my posts since joining the club and review what I've been through, not only with the old Mk2, but the e30, the blue mk2, the Beetle, the old Suzuki motorbike and the last 7 months of the new mk2.

Lots of stuff I'd forgotten I'd done, and I hadn't realised I'd gone quite so far as I did with some of these vehicles - dare I say it I kind of understand now when my wife references the time I spent disappearing to the garage, but putting that aside I'm feeling very accomplished. Don't think I'd have managed any of it without the help of the club. Even with the non-VWs my mechanical confidence has been massively raised over the years, and I've made some good friends along the way.



FYI...

Well it was a cool looking bike, but wasn't practical for how I needed/wanted to use it. I still keep looking on ebay for something similar. Although I did see someone posted up a ZRX, like I have now where a German firm have done a retro styling kit to make it look like the retro Z1000.

Transferring the knowledge library over to this site, have to be honest, I didn’t realise actually how much there was, appreciate all the work/time you had spent, very useful:)

The z650 is a good bike probably not fair to commute it through winter though... you may be working from home more now?
