    Ok enough road trip business... lol Update business!! Got myself some Euro LED tails Mmm LED Reverse bulbs. Resistors all wired in! Now down to the car!!! Old and busted for reference. And here we go! Didn't take many install pics, but resistors tucked away... using plastic zip ties may not be the best idea if they get hot... Excellent. Need to get some good night shots, my parkade sucks for them. And holy **** bright!! Tron Out!!! (Shitty IG video lol) http://scontent-a.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xaf1/t50.2886-16/10745461_793147787411959_925208782_n.mp4 And scored a cr

    Love all the old buildings. Baam ballin hotel... naah we didn't stay there, figured 400+ was a little to much for one night. And the Parliament building, did not know there was one in Victoria, but man it's awesome! Hey its us!! So after wandering downtown for awhile we decided to venture out a bit further and go find this old Lighthouse we looked up. Turns out, its the oldest lighthouse in Canada! It was part of an old military fort so we got to explore that as well, cost a wopping 7 dollars! View from the fort was amazing!! Fort stuff... And

    So Day 3, we got an early start (Much to Melissa's dismay, but she was excited for the trip as well so she obliged me and woke up at 4:30 to get ready) And then I woke up at 5:15, showered, got ready and we were out the door by 5:30am. The first ferry to the island was 7:00am and it suggested being there ready to board half hour to an hour early, so since i have never taken BC Ferries I figured best be there for 7. It was fairly dark until we got to the docks so no pictures driving through Van lol. Plus I was still waking up. And here we go! Got that upper deck... Er Berth. I like my ch

    Hows about Day 2!! Spend the morning with my sister and her kids, farmers market, few kid games, trampoline etc. nice relaxed morning before hitting the road around 1 in the afternoon. Little cloudy of a morning, but good for a drive. (What day isn't though right?) View's through this area very different from the Rockies, reminds me a lot of italy actually and well makes sense since its BC's wine country. (some cool wineries there as well) Loving the new increased speed limits though! Majority of highways got a 10kph bump so the main highways are now 120kph (74.5mph) Makes a bi

And definitely check out HPA great guys and love that shop... need to really stop going there otherwise I am gonna walk away with a turbo kit... nto that its a bad thing, well maybe since its half my down payment for a house! haha Here we go! Day 1... We have been swamped at work lately so after getting in at 6am working til 5pm it was time to hit the road! Full tank of gas and car loaded I was on the road, first up massive overpass going in on the south

    I'm surrounded by mk3's!!!
  13. DasPonto
    Haha yeah I sure do! I average about 40,000km or 25k miles a year. But that's nothing compared to my old man, when he was working full time he was averaging 100,000km or 62k miles a year roughly haha. (Not a trucker, just an oil field consultant)

    Thanks! Glad you enjoy it. Pretty lucky for the road trips I get here, I lived in Denmark years ago and it's definitely a little different. Well with all these road trips and miles comes some required maintenance. So had to get the oil taken care of, had a worn out rear wheel bearing that needed to be replaced. And since I was doing those figured it would be a good time to install some new goodies too! HPA's Puck mount, 034 Rear sway bar, and finally let the sweet vr sound free with a magnaflow. So with that done it was time for another trip to the mountains! Went to Panorama, B

    Well might as well post the drive back since its so quiet in here! Hit the road early after dropping the girlfriend off for school! Nice sunny day for a drive home, sure can't complain for how much the coast usually gets rain right? Before I could really make some miles though I had a pit stop to make! TURBO TIME!!!! - HPA Motorsports Shop. One of the only Scirocco in North America right there. Kidding. I wish. Only shy a few thousand grand. haha But I did get a tour of the shop, doing a lot of Jeep TDI conversions there. Picked up 6 puck mounts and got back on the road! Amazing view

    Part 2!! Second day, Got on the road shortly after noon and a quick car wash for the dirty girl. Then bam! On the highway, this stretch of road has quite the different views than the first bit. Amazing how much it changes over a few hundred miles. Stopped to take some pictures along the way as well! Getting close! Less than an hour to Vancouver at this point! Fuel got more expensive the further west I went too... That's per litre, so if I was to do an entire full tank it would be close to $90.00 to fill... haha And still no where near as bad as you guys pay in Europe. Pulling in

    Guess I promised a road trip didn't I!! Got caught up doing a birthday lunch today. It was a 2600km Road trip to visit the girlfriend who is going to school in Vancouver,BC . Started off Wednesday night, first stretch is straight and boring so didn't take many pictures. Stopped about an hour in to get some food before the remaining 7ish hours of driving. Quickly got back on the road to some heavy downpour. Which continued for about 2 and a half hours til I got just past Calgary. After that it cleared up real nice as I got into the mountains! Sun was just setting when I pulled in to Can

    Guess I should state what I actually put in, Picked up a set of KW V1's for a steal of a deal so in they went! Very impressed with the ride, similar to stock but nice and firm with little to no body roll. Next up was summer goodies! They are just reps, but for the price I couldn't say no... They will do fine for the first summer. And the install at my buddies condo haha. Which means time for a better picture!! And a weekend road trip to the Rockies for some mountain biking! And well a car show while I was down there. Just before I hit the road, quick stop at my favorit
