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,

      Same to you Josh!

      I'll be working flat out at both jobs I can imagine... Driving down to Melbourne xmas morning for lunch and dinner, retuning boxing day for more work

      Hopefully get some serious work on both cars done, get all my RS split and half ready for rebuild. Next year, melbourne crew will be seeing a lot more of me and the bora (hopefully the vento too)

      Hope all the VWW crew have a merry xmas and a safe new years!

        Merry Christmas to everyone. Hope we all got a bit of time off to relax and play with our VW's!

        I have no idea what I'm getting for Christmas though. Maybe I should have written a list?

                  Cheers Josh and merry xmas everyone!

                  im...... dunno. probably detail the car, have Chrissy lunch with the fams then drive mum to the airport on boxing day (she's going to europe again - 5th time she's been overseas this year )

                  have a few beers, take the dog to the beach, kick it with my kid sisters and my dog, maybe lay out back in the sun and try to get as orange as possible so that i can fit in with the rest of the jersey shore guido populace that seem line northland shopping mall from wall to wall.

                  on a somber note - i'll be the first to admit that i like a brap, and that brapping hard, getting the tyres screaming and brakes burning is always lots of fun. i just came back from yarra bend where a section of fence (riverside) has been taken out and someone's put up some wreaths of flowers. just two weeks ago i'd come around a corner up there to find a kid had written off his DC5R integra.

                  have fun, folks, but please dont drive outside your/ the car's limits. it's always better to err on the side of caution and to come back in once piece, rather than "dammit man if only i could wind the clock back 3 minutes" (anyone who's crashed a car has had that eat at them). even worse is to not be able to wake up to think that at all, post-crash.

                  merry xmas folks, drive safe, eat/ drink lots, be merry, and see you on the other side

                        For Christmas day we will be having the usual relo bash at home.

                        Boxing day will be a massive BBQ at a mates place.

                        Yesterday had the work Christmas party. First Christmas party with this company, started with golf at 8am got home at 2am(ish). Hence why this post is to the point, I'm struggling to operate this iPhone.

                        Merry Christmas and a happy new year to everyone.

                          Hey guys. I'm currently in the USA (Charleston, South Carolina) visiting my US VW buddies (the Syndicate guys I went to SoWo with), and a whole bunch of other friends over here. I'm off to DC after Xmas for a few days, then back here to Charleston for New Years. I'll be back in Australia on the 6th of Jan. as Cookie28 said, it's bloody warm here, unlike last Xmas when I was here, and we got heaps of snow!!
