Here is a log / history of my current rig, 2000 golf TDI that I have owned since new
home cobbled 2" suspension lift with steel skid plate privideing full coverage for the engine bay. average 45 MPG with nothing on the roof. 225,000 miles and counting. Finally had to replace the original clutch this year. I can not say enough about this platform for one or two people travelling light.
It has seen jeep trails, creek crossings, and thousands of miles of the California coastline. The Maggiolina Exteme fits fine, I can get a 9 foot surfbord laid down on the front seat, and a large moutain bike upright in the back when needed. Pics to follow as I clean up a couple of old hard drives.
Thank you to all that contributed here and over at mud for the last few years adding fuel to the creative fire for me to squeeze the most I can out of this little car.
