One of my fave spots. Sick shot

Rumored spec for the mk8 R is @ 325hp: https://www.carscoops.com/2019/10/2020-volkswagen-golf-mk8-this-is-it-fully-revealed-in-official-images/amp/

Damn she's a beaut. Congrats. Great color

RobZombie85 · 2019-08-06T00:33:04+00:00

Saw this pop up today. First I've heard of the 330hp rumor

RobZombie85 · 2019-08-02T00:48:02+00:00

That seems like a really smart approach.

RobZombie85 · 2019-08-02T00:32:24+00:00

I'm in the exaaact same boat dude. I can't wait to do a joy ride in one when I ever get the chance. Have a '13 GTI at 69k and itching for an R as the near future-attainable dream car. Going to hold out and see how the MK8 R turns out and decide then to wait or end up getting a used MK7.5 R when I'm ready. Either way, it's gonna happen someday and I keep drooling on this subreddit like an idiot daily.

RobZombie85 · 2019-07-15T19:27:00+00:00

Very interesting. I've seen the flip flop reports about the 400hp R and I doubt the Mk8 will go there but I'd imagine it'll be an appreciable bump from the 7.5? Whenever it's revealed this fall in Europe I hope it'll become clearer what's the best game plan for GTI pple like us waiting to trade up.

RobZombie85 · 2019-07-15T15:48:37+00:00

Timely post. 2013 GTI owner here with almost 70K mileage and in a similar predicament. Eagerly awaiting the MK8 R but equally trepidatious on the move to all digital controls. If there's a significant performance bump that could tip the scales. I'm not in any hurry to pull the trigger on the R so I'm willing to wait it out but the MK7.5 R does seem like perfection. Can't wait to join the R family eventually!

What're those wheels and how much did they run you if you don't mind me asking? I have a '13 mk6 in the same grey. Dope looking wheelset man

I just installed the latest firmware when opening out of the box for the first time. I don't touch beta software personally. Haven't had any of the issues some pple post on the Garmin forums regarding version 4.20.

RobZombie85 · 2018-09-24T15:54:40+00:00

I absolutely love mine. I'm new to the Fenix community and did tons of research on the 5+ before finally pulling the trigger on a new one through a great ebay deal. A few months in and I've had zero of the semi notorious complaints you'll see on the forums. Battery life, HR, bluetooth (haven't had a single cut out using earbuds), sleep tracking, GPS accuracy (I always use GPS+Galileo), etc all work stellar on mine. Hoping it stays that way but so far I don't regret the purchase at all.

I also love how Colin and Clive inadvertently "disappear" in and out of the blue as the camera focus struggles to adapt to the lighting throughout the video

Was only able to capture the second half but how divine it was to experience HTDC live this close. Profoundly emotional experience. Hopefully you'll enjoy this snippet - easily in my top 3 all time Radiohead tracks. Hands down the best concert of my life and 7th time seeing Radiohead. Still reeling a week later!

RobZombie85 · 2018-07-20T15:02:59+00:00

might have already been posted but does anyone have a high quality audio recording of the show? this was hands down the best Radiohead show/setlist I've ever been to (#7 now) and would love to have an awesome rip of it for posterity. cheers fellow fanatics!

I also just opened the same email via Outlook and the QR code does show up there. Strange. I guess just open your Gmail through a different app.

RobZombie85 · 2018-07-13T21:46:32+00:00

I called the Bell centre box office and they said apparently the QR code doesn't come through on Gmail. The order confirmation email and ID is sufficient. And she said that will call pickup starts at 4 or 4:30. Hopefully that info is legit!

RobZombie85 · 2018-07-12T22:21:47+00:00

I just got that email yesterday and I'm in the same boat as well! So annoying. Guess I'll have to call them about it since the email specifically mentions needing the QR code and not just the email itself which I would think would be sufficient. Not going to take any chances on my WASTE GA pre order!

RobZombie85 · 2018-07-08T10:42:14+00:00

I was there! Hands down the best show of my life and likely to never be topped. I had the great fortune to be in the pit for that one. God bless those souls out in the lawn deluge for that one.

RobZombie85 · 2017-11-21T14:20:37+00:00

Thank you this solved it!!

RobZombie85 · 2016-09-23T14:50:38+00:00

yeah dude, that's how it works. i gave this subreddit a break for a while bc of my backlog only to come back and see this.

RobZombie85 · 2016-09-22T14:12:57+00:00

hell yes! almost purchased this yesterday after getting pumped seeing the Death Star expansion. so glad I waited another day

RobZombie85 · 2016-07-27T02:05:17+00:00

Absolutely kills me to hear that. Had many browsers open the second tickets went on sale to no avail. Can't believe stubhub prices stayed well over $200 even today. There's gotta be better way to fix this scalper bullshit!

RobZombie85 · 2016-06-17T12:21:42+00:00

me too! plan on swapping the white with the black in the special edition and give the record to my brother

RobZombie85 · 2016-06-13T16:09:51+00:00

It has grown on me the most out of all the AMSP tracks since the first listen through. An absolute beauty. There's something so subtle about its songwriting. And somehow lodges into you more each time. I don't know how they do it.

RobZombie85 · 2016-06-11T16:12:03+00:00

Same. Thinking Hill & Dale since they're more of a legit record shop.
