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,

    Thanks for the "newbie welcome"

    Have just bought a new 2019 Golf R, replacing a Toyota GTS 86 auto after I rode in a recent Skoda Octavia and realised good handling could be had without a harsh jiggly ride and wanted the recent advances in safety. I figured the Golf would have a similar ride with a dash of fun like the '86 and the "R" version delivers in spades.
    I'm a Senior in my 70's who has never really grown up. I have never raced. The dreaded wanted a Camry but is thrilled with the "R" so everyone has kicked a goal.
    I came here mainly to keep my finger on the pulse.
    cars (chronological) Morris850, Morris Mini DeLuxe, Cooper S, Mazda 1500SS, hard times so some old Holden, old Falcon Ute, better times so second hand Lotus Elan +2 (6 weeks, hopelessly unreliable) Chrysler Valiant Charger 770, second hand Datsun 260Z + 2 auto, Mitsubishi Cordia Turbo, Nissan 200SX turbo auto for 20 years(wonderful car burning ZERO oil after 200,000km & no problems when sold.. should have kept it), Toyota GTS 86 auto, now Golf R Mk 7.5 DSG built Aug2018, white.

    Welcome to the forum to another fellow Crow Eater.

    You know you're growing old when you buy a gold Camry.

    Good choice on the R it's a nice balance between something sporty and something sensible
