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,

From looking at it, it wasn't so bad down here yesterday.
Maybe the dust is forming with the smog to make some sort of super dust?

As I write this, there's an insane dust storm that's sweeping over Sydney. I found out about it by seeing a Twitter post from Dan Hill. I'm based in San Francisco but found it so extraordinary I decided to go and see if I could spot pictures coming in and make a little gallery out of them. If you're coming here on the 23rd of September, you might want to see if any other new photos are coming in: on the Flickr Sydney tag page. Don't forget to organise by date! Oh and there's a group called the Red Sydney Project you should check out too. If you liked this stuff, you might also like my photos and my Twitter feed. You can also buy a copy of a magazine featuring many of these photos at strangelightmag.com
Some great shots there for those of you not experiencing this (I hear it's headed Brisbane way now)...Nothing to see here...
