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 know, my wife's family is from Westleigh and when we go up there for a weekend it annoys the hell out of me when we're trying to get around visiting people etc. And this is just in the burbs...

(wog myself) the majority are crappy drivers. when im driving in the city people are smarter, faster... more on the ball & never have trouble with city drivers
              I'm from the penrith area and it never ceases to amaze me how some clown will try to force them selves in between 2 car who are verging into one lane, I was going through railway parade near the station where it goes from 2 to one lane i let the car on my right pass then with the blinker started to verge this clown races up and tries to block me but i just kept on coming over as i was slightly in front he had to back off , but could of easily torn the rear of the car off if he hadn't braked and gave way like he should of done to start with /

                On this point, this is exactly what you should do. If you have a passenger with you, get them to take a photo of the car/plates if you can. Here's why (based on my experience recently):

                We were coming back to Sydney from Jarvis Bay on a Sun arvo after a wedding a few months back, and heading up through Chatswood on the Pacific Highway (nightmare section, 6 lanes across and tidal traffic flow too). I was in the far left lane cruising along at about 55, when an ML class Merc 4x4 pulled across two lanes of heavy traffic (both doing maybe 10km/hr) without indicating, straight into my lane right in front of me. Fortunately, it was right at an intersection and I was able to swerve slightly into the side road to avoid being put into the gutter, managed to stop just short of mounting the kerb and ploughing into about 5-6 pedestrians too. Beeped horn, etc... guy didn't respond at all. Pulled up behind him at the next set of lights and had the missus take a photo of the back of the car. Let the tool drive off down the road and drove home to ours (about 10 mins north of there).

                It had pissed me off a lot, so an hour or so after I got home, we walked up to the local cop shop to report the guy. Talked to the helpful officer there, showed her the pic of the car.. she spent the next 30 mins tracking the guy down (it was a company car) to get him on the phone! Gave him a stern telling off, then asked if I wanted to talk to him! Boy it was tempting to give him a serve, but I just wanted to see if he was remorseful or not, because the officer asked if we wanted him charged... let me tell you, he sounded like he'd sh*t his pants after the telling off she gave him. I told him not to be a knob in future (not quite in those words) and that he should probably go have a driving lesson, left it at that.

                Laughed all the way home

                    Yes, I noticed that he doesn't know the difference between "decent" and "descent" too.
