My copy of the orbital album arrived the other day. With 2 kids + school holidays I've only managed to listen to the first 3 tracks before kids git involved and wanted to listen to 'Chicken Wing' (my god I hate that song)
Oh, and coronation chicken for me.
Yeah I'm not a fan of that track either. To be fair, 80% of their stuff is filler fluff but then they knock out some bangers from nowhere!
Good choice of filling, but less the sultanas for me. Not sure about dried fruit in curries
While it may not be lively on here like it sounds like it was in the past I think this is probably the friendliest forum I've come across. Pistonheads is full of bitter people hating old fellas most of the time
Isn't it just!
Why do they even bother going on the forum if the audience is so irritating to them? They're an odd lot on there for sure. Yeah it's way friendlier here, probably the friendliest I've experienced to date. The Corrado forum in the early 2000s before social media came along.....god that place was bonkers
That is actually where hugging cars came from
For me I'm attached to the golf as I bought it within a few days of getting together with my now fiance (I had a rusty old Saab at the time and needed to impress her old man who is a Scooby fanatic ) so feels like its part of our relationship. Don't think il ever sell unless the chassis gets twisted to bits one day in an incident.
I can totally understand people being sentimentally attached to cars, especially when they are present during major life changes, such as engagement
I like butter right especially when cooking a nice bit of meat but keep the stuff away from my sandwhiches please, nice and dry for me. Also with a burger I don't like sauce in it I like to dip it, anyone else do the same??
Dry sarnies and burgers....interesting! I hate excessive amounts of butter and sauces as well, but I can't go dry though! I have seen in America some places dip the buns in dripping, which could be quite tasty!
Finally, anyone think cars should get a bit scratched up here and there as they age? Not a fan of garage queen's that look like they don't do anything ever. Love the sight of an old Merc workhorse with a beautiful well kept interior but a scratched up body from all the journeys/adventures/work horse activities it's been on 
Yeah I go more for "looks clean for it's age" over too mint to leave outside. I like a 'used' look, hence why it usually only sees a sponge twice a year
I must admit, I do hate scratches, dents and rust though....but a little shabby chic is acceptable
I completely agree with what you say apart from sandwich filling! I gotta say there is far more life in here than the golf gti forum ....they were miserable funkers! I would happily go to a Dyno day ( with mucho low expectations!) a track day, a members meet etc. but that’s not really how the car scene seems to be these days...my background is from fast Peugeots to MR2s then to company cars and now back to a hot hatch worth less than my bike! 43 years old, I now have more cameras shoved inside me than pointed at my face it seems...I love old school hip-hop..though I remember it just being hip-hop...anything really from 70s 80s 90s 00s...then my music interest tails off a touch...I have raced cars, as my dad did, I have done engine swaps on the drive, driven some amazing machines with my job now, but happy to admire rather than own them...I still play gran turismo of all generations when I don’t fall asleep...I am considered weird by some...I don’t care for those people much! I am not on social media, this is about as close as I get to it! And lastly, the most important detail is tuna mayo, with capers, sliced pickles on brown bread with giant flaming hot wotsits on the side please.
Good to know! I think that forum and ClubGTI are again, full of bitter old men like Pistonheads. Still a young chap at 43 mate
I'm 50 in March, so yeah, cameras going inside rather than outside looms ever closer! I was hoping plastic relacement body parts would be available online by now, but nope!
Car meets seem more popular than ever....AdamC on YouTube.....look no further...but that isn't a scene I'm interested. Too much noise, flexing, disrespect for the venues and yelping morons screaming with joy if someone stacks their car
Now that is a sandwich! Thrown in some interesting curve balls there with the capers and side order of flaming hot wotsits!
It is quiet, but it’s the same on other forums too, maybe we are a bit old school now 
A good Q to invoke chat would be which other forums are you on? Im on FISO and the Audi TT forum (all via Tapatalk)
I prefer the term wise school over old school
I'm on here, the Corrado forum, VR6OC, R32OC, Pistonheads and a few others I've forgotten about. I'm most active on here though!
FISO is fantasy sports, and for me that means Fantasy Premier League, which about 8million (!) people are playing globally this year…any of you guys play this? Season kicked off last night , and have a full day of it ahead as mrs jacksosi is away …sky soccer Saturday starting now 
. It’s a great forum , have been a member for 20+ years
Not a fan of the footy, sorry
The TT forum as have recently bought a mint 40k miles 2010 mk2 TTS Roadster, mainly for a trip to the South of France. Very busy with threads on there , but it covers all three marks. The GTI is actually my wife’s car which I have been sharing and giving some tlc during a period of not needing two cars
Very nice sir. I did give thought to a TT-S coupe a while ago after the Edition 30 rot set in, as it has all the wide track goodness and other handling accoutrements the Golfs don't get, but I need a bit more interior space unfortunately.
Curry wise I’m up to vindaloo level , but usually pick a jalfrezi
Sandwich wise I like everything, but a tuna melt takes some beating
Music wise I’m a bit of an old raver, so have plenty of clubby music mixed in with a lot of other stuff on my Spotify account
Cheers all 
All fine choices there. I'm an old raver as well. Annoyingly I threw out all my 90s rave tapes ages ago but really missing them now! Spotify....yeah, so all these streaming services are annoying! I've tried Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and Amazon music. I have to flit across all 4 to find the tunes I like, and then one day I'll go to listen to something I hadn't heard in ages.....gone! Or "This song is not available in your country". So annoying. I can totally understand the current resurgence in CDs and records! You buy it, it's yours, forever. No one is going to come to your house and say you can't listen to it in England
Hello 
Actually getting to the point of not really enjoying driving my edition 30. Unless it's having its head kicked in i don't find it a particularly nice drive anymore. Getting old I guess.
Yep. Mine rattles and wobbles its way down the road like a 170 year old Model T Ford, and at about the same speed as well, so I'm not feeling it anymore either
