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,

      I have done this road many many times... it is an awesome drive. Yes, some bits you need to be extra careful on, but there's some 'go-for-it' bits too. I usually stop at the top to look over the Railway border loop and have a cuppa. We do an annual Mazda cruise to Kyogle that usually goes this way.

      This is the route we normally do:



      Down through Springbrook, then back via the Lions Rd after lunch at the great BBQ park area at Kyogle.

      Not sure if I'll have my new R36 by the first weekend in July though...

            It's a brilliant day out. The bit from Murwillumbah across to Kyogle is freaking awesome. One of the best driving roads I have ever been on....

            Driving a Mazda6 MPS atm, up for sale, R36 due to arrive first week in July.

            Don't think there's much risk of me not liking it LOL...

              Well i suppose you can bring the MPS Along.....wont be many people there to see it bring down the cred haha, Yeah it should be good to get the R36, u will have to take me for a spin cause im in love with those cars, and all the R series actually.

              As for the MPS cruise, now i actually have some time to talk and dont have my boss over my shoulder , the drive i did was from here down to Murwilimbah, from there down to Muliumbimby, there to Lismore, then Casino, Then Tenterfield, Then stanthorpe, then warwick then back home. Quite an epic trip, i left about 9 in the morning, got home bout 8 that night, and i wasnt hanging around either, although that was a long time ago when i had my little alfa, great drive, next time i might space it out a bit though

              Im looking forward to this cruise, you bringing the MPS if you dont have the Passat by then?

                If things go to plan the MPS will be gone by then... it's up for sale now. So I'll be driving a borrowed bmw 320d and no I won't be bringing that!

                There are some awesome roads down there... I hope I have the R...

                          Mate, I Think (Correct me if im wrong Sean) We are meeting opposite Maccas beaudesert at about 830 onward, and leaving from there around 930. Its bring your own food, Personally i will be stopping in at a bakery out there which is usually pretty good. Then we are heading off for our drive, and stopping for a bite to eat and a laugh at me when i go swimming.

                          Its 5th of July, and i think thats everything you asked for.

                              You're assuming clothes are going to be worn in the first place.

                                Well you never know, I Might Find something in the depths of my room that may be a suitable Attire, Probably not the suit though

                                I have been known for the odd streak now and then, but due to fear of being laughed at, i dont think so lol......unless there is a sizable bet
