Stephen Farrell's Journal

The B has been in rehab since July. What a summer. I missed my B but found another Mistress to occupy my attention whilst she was recovering from the bumbling attempt to repair by the previous wrench. First it was a 2015 VW GTI Coupe S 6 speed MT pre owned with 16K mikes. I then traded her back in for new 2016 VW GTI Autobahn 4 door with the 6 speed DSG, performance package, lighting, and Dynamic chassis control. It's a fantastic car. By far the most I ever spent on a vehicle.
Two weeks ago I got married! It was decided on a Saturday and we were married in front of my house overlooking the water the next Saturday.
She flew back to ND last Monday but will be here for Thanksgiving.
Yesterday I got the B back. It was a huge bill after over three months in the shop but she drove great. The new rear suspension works great. I run her up to 90 MPH on the way home and the gauge never got over 170. ( new radiator, fan, hoses, & coolant). My new SU HS4 carbs from Chester at Rocky Mountain Roadster are well tuned. The idle is perfect and she fires up with no choke at all so far. The mechanic did have to change the jets. The second set of carbs from Joe Curto need to go back as there is some issue with them or could be the mechanic just likes the HS4 better than The Hif's.
The new SS TT Exhaust sounds awesome. I had heard it was too loud but if anything it's too quiet (top up though). I just need the time and weather to drive her. The GTI wants her share too though!
