  • Hi from another pom

    Ive recently been over to the your side of the world and the grass is definately greener (well browner but you get my meaning!). I visisted a mate from Mullaloo just north of Perth and had a great time. Ive long hankered to move and I see a name I recognise eh Velly!

    I work in hospitals so jobs are no problem and I was wondering what the VW scene (air and water) was like around Perth area??

    Im planning on bring my 2 main projects and depending on costs, I may bring my daily and a spare car for spares.

    Ill post up pics etc

    And last of all- hello!

            in some respects- not being like the UK scence could be better and a bit more chilled out and less keyboard warrior-like. I dropped more off the radar 5 years ago and havent really been involved in any clubs since. I stll love my duds and thats waht matters

                Hey mate, welcome.

                The dub scene in Perth is scattered. There are a few different aircooled groups as well as a few different watercooled groups.

                    Yep it is a bit quiet over here... Keep your eyes on the events section. Something is bound to happen in the 2 months or so you're over here, if you keep us posted with dates we could plans a dinner/drive or something maybe? There are plenty of WA members but most don't bother coming to any of the events unfort.
