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,

  • Hi from Irish Dubber

    Hi there,
    Just said I'd pop in and introduce myself and my ride.
    Im from Ireland where we have a huge VW following...more so the older, more classic VW's than the new machines....but still a definite following. We practically know every dub on irish roads from our annual show and shines, or monthly 'county meets'. We all help each other out, and would never pass a dubber on the road without a flash. A big happy family. So, If there's anything you guys need from Ireland/Uk drop me a line and I'll see what i can do for you.

            Its for members of vwwatercooled, of which you are one.

            I myself made the move from Co Down about 7 years ago.

                    Man that is cool to see a 98 mk1, the idea is still pretty new to me. It looks nuts on the Borbets too. Welcome to VWWatercooled, and enjoy your stay.

                        Welcome mate, so knowing other VDubbers in Ireland, do you know Ronan?, he has/had a Rallye and a 20V Mk1... I bought his RS 301's off him, they were on his Rallye.
