Forum MK6 or GTI burnout ?
« on: 30 March 2013, 21:42 »
There was a time when I was here every day but in recent months, I've been visiting less and less. Don't get me wrong, I love my cars but perhaps you reach a stage where you do not a lot more to give. Now I have to admit that there's a side of my life that nobody here will ever know about which has been, well, tumultuous to say the least- processing in my mind whether that has a fair bit to do with it.
i guess I'm asking if many of you disappear from here only to return again with renewed enthusiasm? Steve30 :wink:

Well Asker's back after a long time away.

I don't know if you'd call it enthusiasm, but what ever he had, he's still got it.

You've been a member a bit longer than me mate but i have no doubt there will be times when i spend a bit less time on here than i do now, it's a good crack on here for the most part but life is much bigger than the internet and as such should always come first.

Hope your well btw. :wink:

Sorry to hear this Steve...

We're all just a screen to each other at the end of the day and life is just so much bigger in so many ways...

I also have been thro shall we just say a "horrific patch" in my life and I find coming on here a bit of a release, a little time where I can actually try and forget about my worries...if you get what I mean.

Agreed, personal life is all ok here but my job is incredibly stressful and the various car forums I use are a bit of escapism from the real world.

It's nice to have a group with a common interest to discuss your pride and joy, only comment for me would be that it's a shame that we haven't got all the sub sections like www.mk5golfgti.co.uk as now the cars are leaving their warranties there will be modifiers getting their hands on them.

Also a Shame the MK6 subsection on the MK5 forum isn't really used much.

It's called - life - Steve, interest in all things waxes and wanes, what was once your all consuming/ reason for living/ pride and joy, eventually becomes mundane and run of the mill. As one gets older certain things become more important - whether you wanted them to or not! - than they previously did.... Only to perhaps find renewed enthusiasm later on when time allows.

Don't fret on it, it happens to most of us  :cool:
