Another Irish Newbie! Based in Perth!

[Shaun]

Hey Guys!

I had a really long detailed thread about my last two cars that blanked when i tired to post it

Anyway, my names Shaun, Been living in Perth 9 months, currently back in Ireland in the cold on holidays.

I'll update this eventually but im still gutted about loosing my last post! but i've had two mk4 golfs,

This is the first, A 2002 mk4 PD130, i bought it completely standard, Its a highline, so 130bhp,6 speed gear box, sports seats, Leather steering wheel and air con. And a few mods

Some pics





My second a bit more of a special beast, a 2002 mk4 25th anniversary golf PD150, This was number 1746/1800, they were a special release in 2002 to celebrate the mk1 GTI launch. Some infor here The 25th Anniversary GTI Register - uk-mkivs

This is all standard kit bar my mods, koni 1150 coilovers, sump guard and radio. Here's the specs about these cars:

Pics from standard to moddded form




"le mans Recaros"

Hey Shaun, Cead Mile Failte. How are things in Co Meath? My wife's from Monaghan.

[Shaun]

Thanks for the welcome lads!

Paddy, Sean or Mick :p All pretty common!

Meath is pretty good, springtime now so getting nice and green Just coming into show season to which im missing again this year! Gutted!

I couldnt figure out how you knew i was from Meath! Forgot about my plates in the pics! I take it you've been over?

Is there a dedicated WA section of the site?

Last year, my wife and I drove from Shannon to Killiloe where one of her sisters lives. We then drove from there out to the west coast and toured around until we got to Monaghan. I'd do it again in a heartbeat, but next time much slower. There is so much history in your country.

Is there a dedicated WA section of the site?

Not as such, but there are WA-specific threads in the Clubs, Meet & Events forum. Where abouts in Perth are you?

[Shaun]

Ah yeah, As an Irish person its very hard to grasp just how young Australia is! C Y O Conner was born only a few k's from where i live I live in the Boyne Valley, Should you come back definitely worth a look, only a 30 min drive from Dublin City centre also

I live in Subiaco,But mainly based in port coogee, been to Esperance, Albany and Margaret River on projects, thankfully avoided up north so far!

In all my time i only came across one black 3 door mk4 .:R32

Welcome to the forum, from another Shaun

[geoff_gti]

Welcome Shaun! Nice couple of Mk IVs you have there! Different specs to our models - the black one looks like a diesel from the badging?
Keep an eye on the Events section as posted above. There's a big show coming up in April.
There are a handful of R32s over here, but only 200 were imported to Aust in 2004.

Cheers

Picked up an R! Happy chappy indeed!
