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,

  • Dexter does Dubbo

    After picking up Dexter from the smash repairers on Friday afternoon and heading out, we are back from our latest adventure... Dubbo Zoo for the kids (...also a little for me).



    I have never been so close to "wild" animals, it really was an amazing experience.

    We also took a drive out to Parkes to have a look at "The Dish", not that you can really see it in this picture, but it's there behind the tree's on the right:


    I'm always amazed that even out in the bush how many VW's I see, they really are everywhere. A little disappointed not to see any VWWatercooled stickers, but something to work on for sure

    On the way there we passed through Bathurst, so of course there is the obligatory shots to go along with the couple of laps I got in around the track. It's amazing to think of the speeds the V8s manage around that track.




    Another 1,112km down and out little Dexter is running like a dream. I am still very impressed at how well a not so little vehicle can overtake with only a 2.0L 4cyl engine, albeit a turbo diesel. When you put your foot down your out and round caravans in no time at all.

    If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

    Awesome trip.
    Dubbo zoo was a highlight for me when i was younger, getting that close to the animals was amazing.

    Bathurst would have been interesting in the van.
    Does it feel floaty/body-roll.

      With two kids in the car + a wife poised to slap me we kept it slow and steady... Even then she freaked out a little at some of the corners/edges of the track

      If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

        Read that title and was hoping for some sort of porno starring Michael C Hall, looks like a fun trip though
