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,

      i had an incident on the freeway the other day, the guy had his wife and small kids in the car and he proceeded to throw a waterbottle at me at 80km/h! Because i was going the speed limit!

      now i always carry a 8v camshaft with me. Just in case

          Some people are nutters!
          There were called 'Persuasion bars' down here at one point haha.

          I once coped a whole heap of abuse through the window, after he opened my door and told me to get out i speed off, the guy chased me down in his car, pulled up beside me and try to push me into a embankment.
          got out of it fine. Funny enough was he did it in a company car. Im sure he was really popular when the cops came knocking on his bosses door the next day.

          For the record i/my friends, did nothing to him to provoke it.

            presumedly the camshaft is to hit the waterbottle for six?

              Bloody australians
              Six months driving round europe and never saw any violence anywhere, ever.

              Coming back to this aggressive culture is depressing.

              More needs to be done in the cummunity to remind these retards that this kind of crap is not on. Anywhere. Anytime.

                  If you report these ignorant people to the police, will they do anything? Or pressing charges or something, surely?!

                      Nope, if only one person reports it they don't do a whole heap but ring and say that someone has reported it and that person has been bad etc. Dont know if they keep it on record though.

                        I watched an incident earlier involving a crappy old brown tarago van from the ghetto, old mate with his kids in the car and a person in a white camry. Not sure what started it but i'm pretty sure the dude in the tarago van was over reacting. They were doing all this behind me on the route i take home from work. Swerving, jumping on the brakes, cutting old mate (could have possibly even been a woman) off etc etc. I slowed down and made sure that if the dude pulled up in the middle of the road to attack the person in the Camry, i'd be able to jump out, axe handle at the ready and tell them to f*ck off and leave them alone.

                        Morons. Angry morons.

                              You think road rage is bad; try being a cyclist riding on the road. Closest thing to suciude.
