Hi All

My name is Suresh. Lives and work in Albany, Western Australia. Just about to take delivery of a new 147TSI. All excited. Have been reading the posts on VW Watercooled. It was of great help. Wish I had read through the posts prior to making the deal.

Greetings from Adelaide

Hi there,

I am in the market for a hot hatch and after driving a range of them the GTI MkV seems to be the best combination of grunt, fun and practicality.

I am thinking about pre-order of the GTIMkVI. Have driven the MkV GTI and Pirelli but think it is worth waiting for the new one based on the better interior layout and the reviews of the Mk VI.

Lots of useful info on here - thanks everyone.

Hi Peeps!

I'm Freddie, 40 years old and I'm living in Burgum, The Netherlands. I'm currently driving a 1991 Volkswagen Passat 1.8i CAT Variant (prefacelift). I bought this VW in 2007 after driving an Audi 80 type89 for more than 3 years without any troubles at all. VAG Cars are just great rides!

Some pictures of the B3:



Done some mods the past 2 years such as lowering, Bi-Xenon, GL interior, flares and more. Still a lot of ideas are up the pipes but in time, I'll add them too.

More can be seen at my website: http://www.passat35i-b3.com/

G'day everyone,

My name is Josh, I live in Canberra and Im just finishing Year 12. I Used to drive a little 1989 Daihatsu charade, until I was t-boned by a lady in a 626 Wagon who ran a stop sign. I've always had a thing for vw golf's, especially mkIII's and so I've been looking out for one. Tomorrow I'm actually going to check out a 1994 golf at a dealership in Sydney, so hopefully it looks the goods and I'll manage to grab it.

Just purchased a SH 06 Golf TDI Comfortline. Haven't owned a car in about 5 years and thought I would push for something a bit nicer than your average Barina/Focus/etc.

Mainly bought it for the wife as I have my work ute but while she is at work I get to play with it hehe.

Great forum, has more information regarding the MK6 release date in Oz than any other site. I have been told by my dealer, delivery is approx 15 November 2009.

Hello everyone

[squidage]

Hi All,

Looking for my first Golf. Wife is expecting, so need a car with four doors (my Mini won't cut it anymore). Wife doesn't want a manual so hoping to convince her that a four door Golf GTI DSG is a good idea as a family car (which can be snuck out on track days on the weekends)

Hi

I just bought a black 07 Golf TDI Comfortline. I've never owned my own car before so figured I might as well get something good now that I need to commute to work every day.

Hello everyone, my name is Liand and I am new to this forum. I previously own a TS Astra MY03 convertible which I sold 2 days ago, I am now looking at buying a 97-00 VW passat 1.8T manual, which is very hard to find one in QLD...

[sgiles]

Hey everyone, I currently own
04 FSI Comfortline Golf, it's my first car, and I absolutely love it. Trading for a Mk 6 this year, either 118TSI or GTD (depending on release date & price).

Thought I'd play by the rules and make my first post. Have been a non-registered lurker for a while. Picked up a Polo Gti a couple of months back. Why? I like small, fun cars and this one fitted the bill. I'm a rotary fanatic but have been 'between rotaries' for a year or so now. Gotta say that the little Polo is nicer to drive every day than a first generation RX-7

Plans are to enjoy the car, make a few sensible upgrades over time (flash, downpipe, suspension) and not slip back into 'car modders syndrome' and lose mountains of money and many months with the car in a workshop somewhere having bits fabricated.

So far there seems to be some great information on the forum...well done.
