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 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.
