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,

    The Skoda's are very colour dependent if you ask me. Some of their colours are pretty bland while others are quite bright and exciting.
    Yeah, was looking at the Skoda Fabia, but wanted to go a bit different.

    The Alfa Giuletta was very nearly my choice, but I just wasn't sold on a few bits and pieces. Hate the 208GTI dashboard, the Fiat 500 is a bit too small and the C30 just didn't float my boat.

          I hate you....im so bad at guessing.

          So im thinking it might be a different type of Mini, not the crazy hard riding JCW model. So a more comfortable and slightly slower Mini Cooper S or perhaps a Mini Clubman S.

          Mini's are built in the UK (as far as im aware) and although owned by BMW, not actually German sort of...kind of.

                Adding salt to the wound is the fact that the new car will likely be white It looks awesome with all the black contrast panels on the lower half of the car.

                SQ5 is a good guess but it is (somewhat unbelievably) cheaper than that

                        Im guessing BMW X3/X5 then. Probably X5. Or VW Touareg is the only other i can think of. I don't know the SUV's well enough to know which ones are single turbo and which ones are twin turbo though.

                          Haha you got me there. Although i drove it on the weekend and it ticked over 19,000km. Hadn't driven it for about 4-5 weeks before that though (had been o'seas on holiday).

                          • All this rubbish about non-Golf R vehicles.

                            Shocking, just shocking.

                            I tried to turn away from the R (hello C63) but fate brought me back, for now.

                            Daughter has gone away for a holiday so I get to play with her little Swift. Only a little 1.4 but it is a lot of fun. Tyres deglazed.

                            See, all this non-Golf R chatter has me in a fluster.
