Hi All, I still have the first VW I purchased at the age of 15, a 59 Beetle. Since then I've also accumulated a 74 Kombi, and 85 Kombi and another 71 Beetle which is a racing Baja. To say I am a VW tragic is an understatement. To top off the fleet I recently took delivery of a 2012 Golf GTI. It has reasonably high mileage at 195000 km but OMG it is an absolute weapon. Even after six months of owning it I still can't help but grin at how quick it accelerates. Next step, the latest Golf R. Why not in Tassie, the ultimate home of Targa. Thanks for reading this far Vdubsruleok. By the way I'm now 56 so a long love affair.

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,
