Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • VIC Group 5 Sprints @ Sandown - Cup Day



    Time to hit the track again!

    I've got Monday off, How good's that? A long weekend and on the fourth day there was racing!

    White's good to go, I'll be in a 2.0 class this time, not that that it seems to matter much.

    Still looking for a volunteer pit crew.

        Bump!

        No tools required, Someone to work a stopwatch and take down times would be handy.

        I try not to do too much mechanical stuff trackside Generally pit crew mostly writes stuff down if all's working well.

              Scrutineering starts at 8:00 so I'll probably aim to be there around 7:30

                  Bump for tomorrow!

                  Weather should make things interesting.

                    Good luck, Pete. Wet weather just changes the driver skill/vehicle performance percentage from 30/70 to about 90/10... So you should be fine.

                            No rain today. Great conditions for hitting the track.

                            Pete seemed to be enjoying himself TOO!

                            AND the car sounds nuts! Twin vabers be the ducks nuts!

                              Some shots from Sandown







                              A car you might expect to see



                              And maybe something a bit more unusual



                              A rather sporty looking hearse in the carpark



                              This godzilla only ran into difficulties whilst parked
