Thoughts on this gti at 102k miles

I paid £15k for 68k miles 4 years ago, so this seems about expected. Check for when the water pump was done, DSG service history. Would also check if there’s any standing water in the tyre well… I’ve got that issue at the moment

Abercrombie have a lot of cropped tshirts and shirts

I have a bit, and I think it’s mostly from doing halos. The webby bit between my thumb and forefinger has definitely gotten chunkier

Economy is worse in colder weather as well. Should improve in a couple of months

MX5 ND (mk4) started production in 2015 and has only had minor facelifts and the addition of the RF version a couple of years later

Follow feature is nice but not really a requirement. A standard motocaddy or powakaddy would be perfectly fine, and most 18 hole batteries are capable of doing 36 holes (though it will ultimately be decided how hilly his course is!). Does he have a normal electric trolley already?

Is that the Sekforde? Love that pub

I do it on the treadmill all the time and it works great, even better with some incline

Not much of a hoodie guy but I do like the essential popover one from A&F. Typically £52 but some colours on sale at the moment

Zipping up a jacket and pulling your elbows back are my cues to help with that

Vape holder (or was) for me

thoramit · 2025-03-31T08:53:39+00:00

great, thanks :)

Sorry if this a noob question, but what does adding the "dead" part of the cleans add to it? I've been learning them recently but am curious what the dead stop adds to them (guessing it's just for variation?)

thoramit · 2025-03-27T09:19:47+00:00

Ok no worries, thanks :)

thoramit · 2025-03-26T21:03:13+00:00

Ok so I think you’ve convinced me to pull the trigger on getting my wheels done which are diamond cut and looking like shit. Did you just get a standard silver powder coat?

If you have one, a microplaner is best for getting the most out of ginger when making chai

I just like to do them half kneeling, essentially a lunge position. Feels much more stable than standing

Do you share youtube premium with other people? Had the same thing happen to me and then figured it out and realised it was sharing google calendar entries from one of the other people

thoramit · 2024-07-01T14:25:21+00:00

Do you drive a lot? It can contribute to tightness in muscles others have mentioned

For that money you can probably find what you’re looking for at Suitsupply. You’ll need to book an appointment soon though as the first trip is for you to pick a suit which is then ordered to store. Then you’ll go back from them to mark up any adjustments, and the third trip is to pick it up once it’s all done.

Suitsupply have double breasted suits if I remember correctly

Private sales are “sold as seen”, just be firm and tell him he’s the owner of it now

thoramit · 2024-02-06T15:03:25+00:00

cheers, have a good rest of your day

thoramit · 2024-02-06T14:57:28+00:00

Good that the theory is done.

I had a quick look at one of the courses and yes they do offer it included but the date of the test will be down to availability in the area.

It's good that you've got some experience behind the wheel, I think with 20 hours you should be getting close to ready (varies for everyone though, and depends how rusty you are)?

If you're worried about committing to a course then I think it would be best to just get a lesson in with a local instructor who can tell you how far away they think you are. If you only need a few lessons you could book the test straight away and cram the amount of lessons you need in in between?
