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 use the Sport Classic in forza as my general fang around car and it is quite lively.
      It is a great conglomeration of all the good bits of the older aars but as they said, cannot justify the price.

      The boxter convertible has the same issue as every other ragtop convertible with the inability to fit the roof quickly.

      I like how the4y are doing interesting things each episode now rather than 2 big things per season and the rest of the episodes being boring as i.e. flying a caravan, making an advert etc.

      Just hope they include a special episode like Japan, Bolivia, Vietnam or a big race across Europe special.

        Pretty good episodes so far. Do like the 911 SC but so pricey!
        It's great to see TG when they're brand new with all the little timely jokes they make - eg Webber being a pilot etc. A lot of that stuff looses its humour impact 12 months on!

              Rubens Barrichello will be the F1 star in a reasonably priced car this week (and Rupert Grint (from Harry Potter if you don't know) will be in the new regular car).

                New epsiode is out (Ep 3)

                I liked the 4 door salloon challenge.
                It would be hard to pick out of those 3, i would probably end up choosing the porsche even though it looks like a giant cockroach until you get very close.
                However i want the Lumma tuned version or a 9FF version

                Rubens and Ron were pretty good stars actually, they need more international level stars so we can get the jokes and understand what they are on about.
                Most of the time i just skip the whole star segment until we get to the lap review.

                Muscle car comparrison was a bit unfair due to a variety of differences.
                Not sure i would be comfortable calling a merc a muscle car as i still feel it's a luxury car.

                    I enjoyed the business park section but i thought the best part was the cinematography of the muscle car comparrison/contrast.

                    So many lewd jokes too which i found great since they are normally quite child friendly.

                      "So were you nursing a semi?"

                      Funniest line on the whole show!

                      The "Muscle Car Comparison" wasn't a muscle car comparison. It was a comparison between a VE Camaro and a bloody AMG! Talk about apples and oranges. Don't get me wrong, if it was sold here, I'd buy a Camaro because it's a great car. But it's never going to be in the same league as an E63 AMG!

                        Agree completely.
                        That comment made us all crack up.

                        I would also take a Camaro becasue it is essentially what a muscle car is to me, bare bones raw power.
                        The AMG is essentially a high performance luxury car with oodles of tech in it which i feel removes you from the muscle car experience.

                            None - I download all my TV series. Then stream them from my PC to the home theatre in the lounge room or bedroom.

                            Buying the rights to Top Gear UK and airing old episodes, $19million
                            Watching Top Gear UK ad free the night after it airs in the UK from the comfort of my couch, priceless.

                              Werd!

                              And when you download them you get the whole episode (this one was like 63 minutes)
                              If you wait until they are on channel 9, you get 40 minutes and lose 23 minutes of hillarious topgear goodness.
