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,

  • Performance VW?

    Does anyone know where one can consistantly get a hold of PVW mag in Melbourne? I used to always get them from borders but since their financial troubles they've stopped stocking them and I'm having withdrawal symptoms!!!!

    Subscription... With the way the Aussie dollar is ATM, you can't go wrong, and you don't get them 3 months after the issue date.

          If you have an iPad you can get it that way (I think it's on iPhone too), but then I prefer the fell of real paper.

          I get mine through my local post office who order it in special for me, sadly yes it's 3 months behind, but then it's not as though I need the up to date calendar of events Every time I looked at the subscription it worked out *more* expensive that getting it local and it just wasn't worth the premium to get it earlier.


          As Blitzen said though, maybe now is a good time to subscribe, the conversion looks like this today.

          £71.00 ~= AU$110.00

          Interesting.

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

                    I have found that new agents get them in sporadically at best. The best way I have found is to get the news agent to specifically get it in for you, but you still have the problem of getting it 2 to 3 months after the issue date, or to pay for a subscription and get it up to date.

                      It is possible to get shops to order it but as above, there is still a fair lag behind current edition. I'm a subsciber now and it so much better and costs less too.
