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,

      Sorry, I'm a bit late coming in here, I was on the Kwinana Freeway when the storm hit, my usual 37 minute journey stretched out to almost two hours. My car sustained two dents, one minor one in the roof and one larger one on the passenger-side front fender. All of the overpasses on the freeway were taken up with cars parked under them on either side of the north and southbound lanes. The scariest part was on the Mount Henry Bridge, it usually takes less than a minute to travel over it, on Monday I was on there for over 20 minutes. I couldn't see anything at all over the sides of the bridge and the wind was buffeting all of the cars, it was like some giant hand was violently shaking the bridge. The hail stones that fell where I was were relatively small, M&M size I would estimate.

        If it was shaking violently, I wonder if people would have thought it a better option to not be under the bridge for fear it would collapse.

              Damn, shoulda parked green lightning outside under a tree then! I need a respray!
              Although if i'd done that it prolly woulda gotten crushed. We had major tree damage in the street. It was a real big mess for about a week.
