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,

  • Just wasn't my day .

    Well day started with a bang and it went dowhill from there "groan" . Had a simple job at the Gold Coast got to customers house to find an awkward driveway , pulled up parallel with entrance and then worked out because of overhanging tree and telegraph pole I would need to take a wide swing from the middle of the road . Well peak hour traffic ment I had to make the move quickly {bad mistake} turned in only to find a bloody gate post with metal hinges buried amongst the over hanging tree crrrrrunch now i have some lovely srapes and shallow dents from sliding door back to rear flank . Then not more than 3 hours later backing out of another customers driveway bang drivers mirror torn backwards on another bloody gate post . I suppose i could blame myself for trying hard not to run over any pedestrians whilst reversing out but well thats what happens sometimes . This weekend will have some serious cutting and polishing to remove some marks , the mirror has had more hits than Muhammed Ali so this one will just require some more screws to get it back in place . As I said to Jmac the other week I will keep this van till it dies on its own or I kill it like my faithfull old T4 . Trucks and T4's don't play well together , one or the other will come off second best and you know which one it was that time .

    What a crappy day pal. Gives you an excuse to brush up your polishing/finishing skills though. I seem to get them days all the time!

        Ah well Jim as I said to my wife if it had been the new van I would have been over in the corner spilling tears and beating myself up to boot but the van is nearly ten years old and it is a work horse so it goes with the territory that after 220.000 kays it is going to get a little bruised from time to time . Once things settle down after Christmas I'll get stuck into it with the buffer and see how much I can disguise the marks , meantime I'll sit back each night and enjoy our Christmas Lights River 949 Christmas Lights code 122 - YouTube
