Hey all

I just want to say how glad I am to have found this forum in the last week. Such quick & thoughtful responses without much rancour has been a pleasant experience.

I want to publicly thank Gead for kindly spending an hour & 1/2 of his time taking me for a drive today & thoroughly & thoughtfully giving me the best vehicle familiarisation I have ever experienced. Considering that there are no r36's in Melb to test he was the best advert for Volkswagen around (altho my cleaning lady thought he was a VW salesman )

Anyway ... as I said ... great to have found this place, great to have such good shared knowledge & next week (before escaping to the 33+c temps of Thailand & Vietnam ) I will probably order one.

I have ditched the factory bluetooth (in favour of the preferred option discussed in this forum) & added the DMI.

Enuf .... the point of this was to publicly thank Gead & also acknowledge the wealth of info you ppl have enlightened me with in my decision making

Cheers

ps I forgot to mention the kind offer of Alfie here in Melb as well

I kindly deferred the offer till i was more prepared to be terrified

Seriously... We need to have an R36 meet! Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra. We have such awesome cars - the drive alone would be worth it. Great Ocean Road anyone?

It would be awesome, but the 2 days solid driving to get there from Brisbane, plus a day or two there, then 2 days to get back, plus $500 for fuel, accommodation for at least 4 nights, etc, would make it far from practical for most in QLD.



Realistically I think anything other than state GTGs are going to be very hard to get off the ground.

Sorry to be a damp squib... would love to do it if only it were more feasible.

Yeah it was more of a "imagine how good this would be" thought than anything.

It would be awesome... one of my goals is to drive that road. In the R36 it would be uber-cool....

Hey Swallowtail, is your car in at M******* today?

[Swallowtail]

Yup. Picking it up at about 5.30 - 5.45 or so.

Yes guys.. Lets do it.. Great Ocean Road or similar soon.. I would love that...
Plus we can meet all the R36 owners. Compare rims and etc. hehe!
Great Ocean Road, the place to really appreciate our cars guys!

Does anybody here own or know the R36 getting around Brisbane with the plates OVAR8D? It see it every other day on the roads in my area.
