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.

Of course, but I never start my car for only a short period and then turn it off, if I'm going to run it shortly thereafter. I always let the oil warm up properly before I turn off the engine, to minimise wear and tear. Cold starts are the enemy!Originally posted by tigger73 View Post

I can send you an SMS as we're turning on to Majors Rd if you like Miro. That'd give you a few mins to get ready and look out for us.Originally posted by Transporter View PostJust give me the hour: minute: second: you'll be passing Happy Valley x Manning rd. and I'm on you tail.

I like the car owners like you. You're absolutely spot on, the cold starts are the killer.Originally posted by AdamD View PostOf course, but I never start my car for a short period if I'm going to run it shortly thereafter.

If I have to move my cars around in the driveway I take off the handbrake and push them instead of starting them up to move 2-3 metres. My wife thinks I'm crazy but I don't care.Originally posted by Transporter View PostI like the car owners like you. You're absolutely spot on, the cold starts are the killer.

And I thought I was the only nut to push my car if it only needs to be moved less than 27 metres, it's a bitch if it needs to be uphill though

Should feel the difference between the mk1 and the mk5. Especially that the mk1 is mostly stripped. HahaOriginally posted by AdamD View PostBuilds them muscles! I've always done this too, but geez the Golf is a heavy little car! Made my Accord Euro feel like a featherweight.

Ok so we all agree Dutch that to avoid excessive engine wear you should push your car down to Brighton given it's such a short distance.

I lol'ed, then lol'ed some more.
It would be one great leg workout, especially given the small rise in Brighton Rd travelling south through that section.
My work is half the distance.

No wonder why you've done so few km...

She has a contraption that has a steering wheel on it (thinking of whether to swap it over for a MFSW) so she's getting practice, but given her propensity to be distracted by munching on her hand I'm not sure whether it's wise.Originally posted by tigger73 View PostHahaha.

There is a good chance I will double my mileage on the cruise if anyone elects to take an extended route.
