  • The TNT was a beast! I ran it on a k6-2 also. Unfortunately it crapped out and I replaced it with an MX400 which I still have (I have a problem). We all played with a myriad of platforms. One guy was on a friggin’ Alpha that he warmed his feet with under his desk (not sure if he actually played on that but it was a running joke). We also played Quake but for some reason we were obsessed with the silliness of UT. MMMMM MONSTER KILLL.






  • This was a MkIII and my ex-VW dealer mechanic sort of hated it. Sometimes he’d try to refuse pay because he wasn’t sure if he’d fixed something.

    It did leave me dead in the water once when a fuel relay was failing intermittently, causing the car to suddenly shut off at speed (weeeeee) but generally it ran well and was fun to drive. They are definitely quirky… I quickly learned to always use OEM only or it would act up.

    Edit: twice now that I remember. The clutch cable just snapped one day.

    I had a Jetta. One of the least hoopty hoopties I’ve owned. But as the years went on and miles piled up, in typical VW fashion, the check engine light would come on for no reason. Would pull codes and nothing. But of course inspection would fail.

    It hadn’t come on for a few days so I took it in to renew reg (would reset after about 100 miles). Sitting there in the inspection lane, light winks on. I screamed at the dashboard and it blinked off. I stared in disbelief for a moment and it passed.

    Thought it was a fluke but, no — any time it came on after that I would scream and it would turn off.
