Head up. ‘Go Kart’ is lame. ‘Kart’ is rockstar. Just like some people say ‘PING PONG’ is embarassing, and ‘Table Tennis’ is something that impresses your new girlfriend (they’ve actually got it backwards). But anyways… I spend a lot more time on kart and tractor forums recently than I do on real car forums. Some guys do really cool and […]

It was a good one, and that it was totally un-provoked and unexpected makes it even better. My MKII’s are not red.  Masaharu played me well by sending pictures of a red set and saying they were mine.  Mild relief.  Mine showed up… raw finish and all.

Just silly though if it’s true. No updates otherwise.  My parts car needs […]

German Engineering on my car…


So… I grabbed a set of vintage Recaro LS seats on the weekend. They don’t have “gradation” fabric… of course. How lucky do you think I am? They are all black though, which is probably the next best thing. Condition is probably 7.5/10. Fabric and foam appear pretty good… but the headrests are somewhat FUBARed. They are bottom mount, which […]
