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,

  • Thx good samaritan.

    In the city last night, popped into work for a minute to grab something.

    Parked downstairs, didn't bother getting a ticket because I was only going to be a second.

    Ended up getting stuck in the lift for over an hour ( ), walked out and saw a car 2 down had a fine.. shat myself then saw under my windscreen wiper someone had left a parking ticket valid for a couple more hours.

    Thx whoever it was, made my ****ty night a little better

          Be thankful for the kindness of strangers (hmm, that sounds a bit Zen-like doesn't it ?).

          Be sure to do a favour for someone else next time you get an opportunity (following the principles of "Pay it forward" and "What goes around comes around").

                Sounds a bit to good to be true,
                I say you've got a stalker looking out for you, be very very careful.

                  Either that or just a freak occurrence of random kindness! It happens more often than you think...

                      Getting stuck in a lift isn't fun. Happened to me at Indy, we all had beers which made it better, then some dude started throwing up which wasn't fun.

                      Dam lifts.

                            I think that is great to hear. I will place a ticket under the wiper of the car in front/behind if it has a reasonable length left and longer than the one they have.

                            There are a lot of thoughtful people out there, not as many as the selfish so it seems sadly.

                              if you were porking someone in the lift, i'd say the parking fine would've been worth it anyway......

                              but good on the person for doing that.... karma is real. do good things.
