Were you, by chance, up in the Central CA Coast area in mid/late August?
I saw a B5 that looked a lot like yours with a roof rack.

[B5Boy]

Hi, nope that wasn't me. I took off the rack last April. Happy motoring!

MAK Sonics are so sexxy http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emlove.gif that's why i got them in 18's, every inch counts http://www.clubb5.com/images_forum/eek.gif

wassup manyee,

saw you the other day in westwood on gayley turning into kinross. I was just chilling at fatburger so you probably didnt see my car parked in the back aley

[B5Boy]

awwh... I think this is like twice that you've spotted my car. I have yet to see yours. I know of several club members around the UCLA area.. but rarely run into each other. There used to be 2 guys living in the dorms that I always used to see parked in the garage. anyway.. i'll keep an eye out for you.... and waiting to see what those black euro bumpers will look like...

-manyee

[alex310]

I'm not sure it's you, but I keep seeing the same exact looking car in Westwood Village every day at work, juss wondering if it's you... http://www.clubb5.com/images_forum/crazy.gif

[B5Boy]

It probably is me. I park at lot 32 to go the the LA Fitness across the street. I also work at UCLA. I've never seen you around. Hmmm... i will keep my eye out for your beiege beauty! http://www.clubb5.com/images_forum/biggrin.gif

-Manyee

[alex310]

I work at Radio Shack on Westwood, next time you pass by, just look infront of it, my car's always infront.

[B5Boy]

Ahhhh..... right by good ol' Californai Chicken Cafe. Some of the westside B5'ers had a informal get-together lunch there before. I'll be sure to peak over at the R.S. parking lot next time!

-Manyee

[alex310]

Not that Radio Shack, the Radio Shack in Westwood Village, two blocks north of Wilshire, right accross the street from OZ.

Thats cool i just bought a new white passat and i want to know if that bottom paint gets chipped off? I am used to just puttin new sides on but i am running low on money! http://www.clubb5.com/images_forum/cry.gif I just bought a new white passat for my wife and i want to paint the bottom just to make it look better and not pay for side scirts.
THANK YOU

MY CAR!!!! http://clubb5.zeroforum.com/zerothread?id=31081 Click on that link and give me a rating on my car!

[glxpassat]

A bump for a bud!!

[b5-turbonium]

dude Manyee, I see you damn near every day on my way to work on Venice blvd. I'me either driving my passat or the dark purple corrado (like today). Good to see your passat still looks the same, unlike mine.

[kidvdub]

I likey the MAK wheels................are you using a center cap??

I cant tell by the pics.

I want to run my MAKs without the centercaps (plastic covers) but the center needs a small cap and none of the OE VW center caps seem to fit.

[randy]

Manyee........... those cables don't scratch up your rims?

[B5Boy]

My brother told me I had mail :)

kidvdub- Yes, my Sonics have wheel caps, they came with the small little chrome ones that you see in the photos when I bought them. I never got the "full plastic" ones that most MAK Sonic owners have. I've grown to like the exposed lugs.

b5-turbonium- LOL. I've checked out your Corrado on Venice Blvd before! I live right off Venice Blvd (Next to the Rally's), so that's probably why you see me so often! I jump on the 10 at Robertson. I'll be sure to wave next time!

randy- The cables do scuff the rims up a bit, but the scratches wax off very easily. They even scratched when I had my stock Adellaides. I try my best not to spin my tires in the snow.

[kidvdub]

Holy crap he is alive!

Get that sled to our GTG!

Got to show you my VW "R32" center caps on my MAKs!
