And here is my absolute number one hate of the VAG scene. Anyone who disagrees or doesn't see the sheer brilliance of all their "hard work, skill and dedication" (despite how pointless and unnecessary) is ignorant.
He's spent hundreds upon hundreds of man hours and no doubt thousands of pounds to create something that isn't remotely impressive to the vast majority of people outside the VAG scene and somehow that is OUR fault?
To my ignorant self I don't see the logic behind anything that he has done, let alone why it is so amazing.
Look at this for a second from someone who is not in the scene. He seemingly wanted modern features such as ABS, A/C, Traction Control, a modern interior and the 1.8T lump, so what did he do? He bought a by his own words perfectly repairable Seat Leon and then proceeded to ***** many man hours in retrofitting it into an old golf and arguably ruining the charterer of an old car. Has anybody else spotted the logic fail yet? He had a modern car with all the features that we should be praising him for getting to work, but instead of doing what most people would do and slap a new bonnet, bumper and headlights on he stuck it all into his Golf, and in the process made a not so interesting project.
Don't get me wrong, I'm an advocate of tuning and modifying. I can at the very least understand most trends, scenes and fads, but certainly not the VAG attitude of "Let's do something a bit pointless and then moan when people don't get it".
