Finally! Charlie Chuck videos from GTI International
Big thanks to Josh Murrary for upping these to Youtube. We booked Charlie Chuck (Dave) to do a short gig on the uk-mkivs.net club at this years GTI International show. The show, held at Bruntingthorpe in near Northampton, is one of the biggest VW shows in the UK and is held annually each year. Given this was the shows 20th Anniversary we really wanted to make an impact and what better way to do it...

Upgrade to Community Server 2007 and new blog theme
Spent a few hours on Wednesday evening upgrading Tabsy.net to Community Server 2007 (CS 2007). The upgrade was hassle free and to give myself a challenge I decided to install the previous add ons before testing the site for the first time. A bit risky I know but I was confident they would all work! First up I added the Alabaster CSMVP's module - haven't actually activated any of the features yet but...
Your posture while driving?
Thinking the other day (yes I can think) while driving into work about the different types of posture people use while driving.... At this point I noticed another driver pulled up next to me who was sitting pretty much right on top of their steering wheel. I thought they must have been reaching for something, or possibly be a disabled driver (some require hand controls etc.) but on closer inspection...
The New Golf RSI?
Noting the number plate RS branding - could this be a hint to the next installment of the performance orientated approach VW seem to be taking? Sporting the same front bumper and side skirt design as the excellently titled "Thunderbunny" concept (see images blow), which debuted at the 2006 SEMA show in Vegas, could this of been a first peak at the new model? Interesting to note in the press conference...
Use of 'text speak' on forums and blogs (Rant post!)
It's on the increase, no doubt about it. Countless threads on forums, and posts on blogs are cropping up now and its really starting to get on my wick! I think its lazy, hard to read and just plain daft. It is becoming socially acceptable to use, as it seems more and more people these days are using it. I'll freely admit to using it on mobile phones... text messages cost me 10p a go, so it's prudent...
Gabbly.com - Online chat with a difference
Just checking out site stats for uk-mkivs , and under referral conversions I noticed a load of referrals from a service called Gabbly.com - Had a look and was suprised to see its a live chat service that lets you browse a site, while an active chat channel box is open. It groups users around a common subject (the site name is the group) so you can talk live about cars etc. while browsing the forums...
The uk-mkivs 2007 calendar!
I've just finished this years uk-mkivs calendar. Designed as a 14 page A3 glossy calendar it proved to be a great seller last year with all 100 copies being sold pretty rapidly. For this year I've gone along with the same design as last year, with the only changes being a matched red header cell colour for weekdays and the removal of a quote entry from the main title section. I'm really happy with...
