Took the Golf for a quick test drive -

Nix the soft tire and almost total lack of a brake system, it'll DO SIXTY MILES PER HOUR! (LOL)

So... that said - I'm happy.

Notes:

Great torque. Nearly total lack of HP. It's great to be a diesel...

Current fuel is a mix of 40% on road, 30% off road, and 30% "Hey, that looks like fuel... throw it in..." (used oil, transmission fluid, fuel treatments, etc.) with a little kerosene in there, too.

No smoke under load.

No air filter currently. Gotta fix that...

Heater works, blower fan doesn't. Hm.
