I've been a regular on CP since the Porka days.
However, IMO there are fewer and fewer decent, interesting projects and knowledgable people on there now. Basically I think its because there are a lot more people on there now, many of them very young with the Polo as their first car. Typically, a lot of them are more into what looks good (or "scene") rather than being technically interested. I can understand that, but its all the shit that goes with it that gets on my tits.
Most just want to talk about fitting 175/50 tyres on 8" wheels, and "slamming" the suspension. Then there's bullshitting about being quicker than a Saxo VTR in their 6n 1.4 8 valve and generally slating anything non VAG (in particular anything French) unless its a supercar or something.
I really hope this site can take off from where the old PSD one left off. It certainly seems to be heading that way which can only be good.
I look on here everyday now and try and post if I can help out, or need advise.
I've also recently discovered Retro Rides. Now this is a brilliant site that has some fantastic build threads. Highly recommend this one to anyone interested in the old modified stuff.
Cheers,
Richard.
