Thanks for featuring my pickup truck, Mike! It was great hanging out and reminiscing on a decade of rabbit pickup stories. It's always great to see the cool variety of new videos on your channel.
so glad we got to link up while we were down there, even if it was more of an on the spot interview than just plain hanging out. great to finally get you and the truck on here. this whole convo was just a reminder of how quickly time passes 😵💫
Hey! An O'brien! Nice caddy! Your west coast brother from another mother. I got a 81 black daily i restored 20yrs ago that has a highly tweeked aba jh swap that still purrs like a kitten. I love the smell ! Just like the 80s. Cheers
Hey Evan you going to make a trip back up north to madness?
New handle @eo.brien
Hey,nice truck! Where did you get the waist trim?
I drove my rabbit from the midwest to california, down to AZ. a couple years ago. Then through Texas and up I35 on the way home. Never saw another Rabbit let alone a rabbit pickup.
All these cute little pickup cars in one place, YAS!!!
Just got in to mk1s , got a 4 door rabbit. Love the content !
dope! i prefer the 4 doors myself. welcome to the community, did you manage to find the info/beginners guide playlists i put together?
What Mike said. I found him when I got my rabbit and it helped tons
Cool VW Pickup. Loved the VIDEO!
one of my favorites. glad you enjoyed it!
Mikes dropping a couple of videos a week now 🔥🔥🔥🔥….I want to see Part.2 of Madness 21 before 22 gets here also Part.2 of the silver mk1…
just tryna make you proud, cordell. if work stays as slow as it’s been, i’ll have the time to slap that pt2 of both those together by or shortly after this years madness.
Wow this is such a rad truck. I remember seeing this at h2o 17!
been one of my favorites for many years. great truck and even better owner.
I’ve always been a mini truck fan. These are on my list cause they are so different
they have their drawbacks with the limited cab space but if you can get past that, they’re very awesome trucks to own.
Damn dude. I’m from the Hudson Valley. Lived in Fishkill and been all over the area. Whenever places like NP are mentioned in all like “oh I’m from there!!!” Only had a mk4 when I was out there and hadn’t delved into early water cooled till I moved to California. So word just wanted to say that for the algooooh
if the hudson valley was just a tad cheaper and a tad less congested i could see myself staying here for life. such a great area with so much to do. appreciate you!
This caddy is too lovely
one of my long time favorites. evan is the man.
Beautiful
Giveaway ideas maybe a steering wheel or retro hat & shirt combo? Always love the vids man, no sponsored crap and great content.
good thinking on the wheel. i wouldn’t be opposed to giving away the nardi that’s in the silver rabbit 👀 hell yeah thanks for the support, always gonna do my best to keep the commercial fake crap out of the channel. the sponsors can absolutely help but you can blame this place for underpaying us smaller channels in the first place. thank them for creating the hell that is sponsorship readings in videos. i’m sure i’ll end up working with some companies or even other channels eventually, but i’ll always make sure it’s as seamless/relatable/beneficial to the channel as possible.
@@mk1rabbithole honestly, as long as the ads are content related I don’t mind
Just awesome
I love how Evan has hood struts and still uses a prop rod
a true gentlemen if you will!
Funny you noticed that! Yeah, one day with the struts only, it just started doing a slo-mo fall. One of many things I gotta get around to updating.
@@evanobrien2429 I knew that had to be why haha. The Jom struts aren't too expensive. I bought some a few months ago for around $20
Nothing beats a mk1 pickup 👍
except 2 mk1 pickups.
except 2 mk1 pickups.
Can’t wait to get my Euro Caddy out of storage. Been waiting two years to start working on it. 😥 Hopefully be at Madness next year.
hell yeah! hope you can get to it soon. are you attending madness this year anyways?
@@mk1rabbithole won’t be in the US by then. 🥺
Where can I get that style of value cover I'm building a 1.6 t...really like the look....nice ride..
yea damn mike vid on vids on vids 💪🏼
just tryna create some momentum and clear out the hard drives for some new footage! gotta build some momentum!
@@mk1rabbithole momentum say it againnn
Great Video, Its very interesant
glad you liked it thanks for watching!
If you have a rabbit pickup.
That has NOT been across the country.
Shame on you.
Keep up the great work
haha right?! drive your damn project cars!
That beige caddy with the skate deck roof rack and the BMX in the bed has got my attention, anybody got more info on that?
first time seeing it for me. try posting a screenshot on Facebook?
Bro I also drove my caddy to madness in 2012
F*k yes
mk1 caddy 💣
the best!
Looking for an auto sponsor for my 80 VW Dasher diesel restoration. Let me know. It's in Alaska.
Will pick up in my 84 Rabbit diesel car if you visit.
Also have an 81 Rabbit Truck w/1.6 turbodiesel that runs but needs some work.
Dude you can heat wrap the turbo and it will spool up better.
And you complain about diesel smoke in garage.
Um dude.
You should leave the garage door open on gasoline cars as they are more toxic than diesel.
People kill themselves with gasoline emissions
Who has ever killed the self’s in their garage with diesel.
You need a carbon monoxide detector to be able to tell dangerous gasoline emissions.
And you would rather change from a visible emissions for an invisible one. …
Just sayin.
If you want good put an ahu Tdi with a catalytic converters.
40mpg…. Those are rated at 54mpg in a Mk3 (600+lbs more than a caddy)
As someone who had an ahu Tdi in my caddy for a decade there is no better engine.
No other engine that bolts in like stock
All coolant flanges… hoses….
.
You can use oem 1.6 manifolds on the ahu if you want I ran mine for years without a turbo.
But it gets an honest 60mpg.
To think about trading that for gasoline is pure sin.
