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,

  • Our next cruise is in a couple of weeks, on April 6. Any suggestions, anyone? Do we want a longer or shorter run this time?

    • Hopefully I can make it, will be dependent on delivery.

      I'm easy on length, although would be taking it fairly leisurely as I'll be in 'run-in' mode.. so if the Audi is present I'll need to be looking for short cuts.

        Hopefully the weather is kinder this time and the red GTI is allowed out of the garage

        A couple of suggestions assuming we start at Stonyfell which I think is a pretty good/central place for everyone (comments??):

        Longer northern route: Stonyfell to Tanunda

        Shorter southern route: Stonyfell to Clarendon

        Feedback or suggestions??

          I'm sure the weather will be fine.

          I think Stoneyfell is a great meeting point, and the Tanunda route looks pretty good to me. We could alternatively do a Victor or McLaren Vale/Yankallila cruise, as we've not been down that way yet.

          • I vote for the southern route.

            • might be able to make this would prefer southern as well

              • OK I've devised another southern route - especially for VW enthusiasts...

                Yankalilla to Mount Baker via Willunga and Meadows

                I know it's a bit of a drive to the start location but it can't be helped otherwise it doesn't have the same effect.

                At some stage it's just gotta be done.

                • I know those roads very well, travelled around there a lot. Therefore I'll beg and suggest we defer this one until the June (?) cruise.. as I just found out I am a month away from getting the car.

                  • Hmm, okay Dutch, how about we do a mini Southern cruise this time, and an extended one (as per Damien's suggestion) for June? You can just suck it up and come along in the Polo for this one - or even *gasp* the CX-5.

                    What about Stoneyfell -> Blackwood -> Clarendon -> Meadows -> Willunga -> Finish (for lunch) in McLaren Vale?

                    • The &quot;VW&quot; cruise

                      Not sure if you guys got my "VW" cruise route from Yankalilla to Mount Barker. You actually had to look at the link on Google maps:




                      Not sure as to the practicalities of doing this one but it would be one to tick off the bucket list

                      • Adam: it'll be the CX5 if you guys play nice.. after an incident with my GTI a couple of days out from trade I shouldn't risk the Polo on a country drive.

                        Tigger: clever mate, I didn't twig and I had even looked it up. I might use that route as part of my run-in routine end of April/early May.
