Hello all,

After seeing a post from Arin at APR about the results of one of your members new 3.31 Stage 2+ updates I thought I'd stop in over here and browse the site. I'm glad to see another VAG site with a huge following much like we enjoy on the VWVortex.

About me: I've been a VW guy my whole life, from the age of 15 I've owned nothing but a VW product. I started with a 1969 VW Kombi Transporter (Baywindow) and actually still own it. I've had many VW's over the years and I won't bore you with the list (as it's about 18 in total). My curent vehicle is a 2012 VWGolf R. I'll cut and paste the info from my build thread on Vortex below. I've done a few things to it but still have a ways to go until I'm finished. I can't post any pictures since the site won't allow me to do so until I have a post count of 15 so the link to then thread and the images will have to wait.

I'll be snooping around here looking for some ideas for my car and hopefully learning a little more about what you guys are driving on a daily basis.

Cheers-
George

Thanks all...as I dig around through the forum I see plenty of help to be given. Hopefully folks will be willing to take it for what it's worth from my years of stateside VAG experience. A few more posts and I'll get some pictures up.
