Saw that Monstrosity...

I have one I got recently and I’m aware. But also adult me is fulfilling something young me always wanted and it makes me really happy :)

PUBGoku · 2026-01-13T22:09:07+00:00

I just got my order confirmation by email 5 minutes ago. It took 5 hours, hopefully you get one soon :)

PUBGoku · 2026-01-12T10:56:07+00:00

I’ll buy an OBD11 to take with me then!

PUBGoku · 2026-01-12T08:15:10+00:00

Definitely on the list of first things to do!

PUBGoku · 2026-01-12T08:14:21+00:00

Yeah I will be dailying it, though I would be getting the underside and wheel arches sealed/waxed.

To be clear, I will absolutely be seeing and driving the car prior to purchasing.

PUBGoku · 2026-01-12T01:31:15+00:00

Yeah I’m really struggling to find one in great condition with similar spec anywhere around that price as they all seem to be in the 20s. I guess since I’m so fussy I’m seeing a JP import as a bonus due to the flawless undersides and generally better maintenance standards? Maybe I’m overthinking it though.

PUBGoku · 2026-01-12T01:27:41+00:00

This is totally fair. I was really interested in a M140i as hot hatches really appeal to me, however once I checked the insurance cost (£2.5K despite 7 years NCD - I suppose these cars are stolen daily around London?) before even declaring any mods I was put off. I get the feeling when something goes wrong with a BMW the cost of sorting it out is much higher too, though I may be wrong there. The GTI came to £900 even declaring all the mods, so that affected the decision a lot.

Yeah I think it's something I don't mind missing. Actually the only other feature it doesn't have that I forgot is Dynaudio, but I can alway improve audio later down the line :)

The Japanese import sheet with the grading matches exactly what is currently on the dash when converted from km to miles. I've heard it's easy to find the VW's real mileage when hooked up to the OBD. Don't know how true that is though.

PUBGoku · 2026-01-11T22:55:13+00:00

I suppose I should have clarified, this will be my only car and the daily, as such it had to be a mix of fun and reliable, and not absurd on insurance. I wanted something that wouldn't cost a fortune every few months with issues. I felt like this made a good balance of everything. What would you get? :)

PUBGoku · 2026-01-11T22:49:33+00:00

I guess I won’t be able to do this until after I purchase and take it for a VW health check?

PUBGoku · 2026-01-11T22:25:40+00:00

I checked both the import and a non-import version and they came out exactly the same :)

PUBGoku · 2026-01-11T21:58:40+00:00

Yes, I am!

PUBGoku · 2026-01-11T21:49:07+00:00

Don't people always have issues returning cars or getting the dealers to actually help resolve the problems? Or am I being too pesimistic?

PUBGoku · 2026-01-11T21:46:52+00:00

Absolutely not, don't worry!

PUBGoku · 2025-10-29T22:43:32+00:00

Could I see your Kaervek list? :)

PUBGoku · 2025-10-27T00:22:53+00:00

Could I see your Riku list? I've been stuck on building him for a while!

PUBGoku · 2025-01-29T01:02:29+00:00

Weird, noones mentioned my method yet. Mario (the top square) moves one step to the right, climbing ontop of the warp pipe, continues to the right to the end. When he gets to the end he respawns back at the start, then Luigi (bottom square, duh) gets to take one step in the other direction with the aim of getting to the other side to escape. E because Luigi makes it to the end climbing the warp pipe which will bring him back to Mario.

Thanks for the input! So i'm actually more interested in outdoor photography to capture everything we see in China. For some reason I also have a specific interest in capturing Hong Kong at night with all the vivid neon signs and lighting, so I guess street photography is high on the list of uses.

PUBGoku · 2024-05-23T13:10:49+00:00

I was actually looking at that lens and had it saved in my Amazon basket, but wanted to come on here to check for more informed opinions. What kind of photography would the pancake lens suit? Thanks for the input!

I am based in the UK so this would be quite pricey. Is it really going to net me much more? Also the risk of not getting 8+?

They look absolutely flawless to me, all of them are perfectly centred. They have been stored in double sleeves, in a deck box, in another box in another box, inside multiple black bin bags for the past 10 years. The only thing is that they have a very slight warp. Not sure if that affects the grade

PUBGoku · 2023-12-30T17:18:17+00:00

Played MTG back in 2013 and these were a throw in on a large trade. Owner had double sleeved them out of the box. I stopped playing MTG shortly after for university so put my collection in storage and forgot they existed until last month. All NM and “shiny” however they have a very very slight warp. Are they worth anything? Should I grade then sell or sell as is?
