first drive


Got to take the car for a drive this afternoon to see if there were any issues needing attention. Red drives beautifully and feels even tighter than "white" did in the last few years. It's not officially home yet and won't be until tomorrow at the earliest. The list of adjustments needed is pretty short and most are of the cosmetic nature. Frank and George at Bero, have driven it and they really liked it. Andy still has to take it for a drive to see if there is anything else that needs attention. What a fun little car!

Hello, I have enjoyed reading your blog. My boyfriend and I are planning to refurbish a 1987 manual Cabriolet, and we are starting this weekend. Your blog has got me so inspired. I was wondering if you installed automatic windows in your daughter's car. If so can you tell me about where you purchased the mechanism.

No I didn't add power windows, just the power door locks. Any decent stereo/alarm shop should have these items in stock. Power door actuators were $20 a piece and work with the new alarm system remote.

volkswagen partTrue Volkswagen part enthusiasts have something to cheer about as new Performance and Upgrade product releases are here for the 2009 VW JETTA 2.0L TDI Sedan and Wagon. After Volkswagen's decision not to manufacture 2007 and 2008 VW TDI'S, many TDI enthusiasts have pounced on the chance to buy a factory fresh 2009 TDI Jetta. With no TDI vehicles coming off the VW assembly line for a few years, manufacturers of VW TDI upgrades had to turn their attention to other product lines. Now, however, with the popularity of Volkswagen's new 2009 TDI Jetta's, upgrade and modification companies have taken note and are again giving car owners the types of Performance products they crave - products that until only recently had been reserved for older model VW TDI'S.
