Anyone know about vw rabbit caddys? Thinking about getting my brother into one

Almost impossible to find a diesel one that is not rusted out but the diesel is the one to get. No more smog checks and slap in an AWP 1.8t engine.

I received no such call.

I called

Interesting antique collection there buddy!

I agree. It would be cool to have that retro stuff next to a nice modern fast panel

I can't do a lot of my own work due to back problems. I can always bring it to a local shop but some people on rev are looking for ways to make some cash on the side... why not give them the opportunity first?

On plenty of occasions I have had people come to my house to work on previous cars... including my e30.

That sounds like ur killing two birds with one stone...

^this

Been hunting for one as well.

these are new..... http://www.racelandus.com/bmw-e30-coilovers.html

Are those any good?

[R3Z3N]

"Good" suspension doesn't come cheap....just my 2 pence. Remember, you're in an E30, treat yourself to Motons ;-)

Joking aside, I am sure they are fine, but if going one is going to refresh their suspension, and get coilovers, Ground Control would be a great choice, or support German Engineering here!

Good Morning,

I have been trying to learn photoshop via youtube and online tutorials for the past several weeks. For those of you that know photoshop, how did you learn it? I was thinking of buying a book, CD or taking a class at the local JC that would help speed up the learning curve. Any recommendations?

Cheers

Jim

jim, i learned years ago by watching tutorials online as well as reading a few magazines as well as just messing around in the program. i took a class at my jc for illustrator but it was a joke and i learned nothing new. however, if you are just starting out then definitely give it a shot! there are a lot of tutorials online and i actually should have a folder somewhere on my hard drive of backed up bookmarks and i should have a lot of websites with very helpful and informative tutorials. let me know if you want me to go and dig them out.
