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,

    Bernard Tomic is auctioning the BMW M3 as he said it caused too much trouble.

    Can't see why people don't just suck it up, live with a cheap get-by car until they are 20 and then get what they want then.

        Why? Your generation was free to carry out as many mods as they wanted. Why should there be more controls simply because it doesn't affect you?

        It also doesn't affect me. But I can see past the end of my own nose.

          I had a get by car until 2 years ago.
          I don't think the rules are fair as i could kill myself in an excel as well as a riceline.

          However the laws were made to be easily enforced and as such we have to live with them.

          You can still be a car enthusiast without having a FI car or a V8 etc.

            I didn't even own a car until I was 20. Didn't need one as I lived in inner Sydney. Plus, I couldn't afford one.

            I'm now not affected by this legislation in any way shape or form. It doesn't mean I can't recognise that it is a pointless piece of legislation designed to appease the health and safety types that seem to be more and more common in this world.

            It's just a cheap knee jerk reaction designed to appease the ACA and Today Tonight watching community. Let's ban kids from driving a low pressure turbo Saab 9-3 despite it being a very safe car. Let's allow them to drive VN Commodores instead. Much safer.

            It's just pathetic lowest common denominator politics.

              Yes, Mr Tomic...it's the cars fault that you weren't able to follow the rules you were given when driving an extremely conspicuous car.

              He could also have bought a second car that didn't have restrictions. He's not short of money.

                Recall the times when the Poo (Mark Phillipoisis) had a porsche 993 turbo, Ferrari F355 and Lambo Diablo?

                Tomic's M3 is pretty tame in comparision.....

                  Let's face it. This stuff has been going on for ever.

                  It is always the current generation of teenagers that are ruining it for everyone else, why can't they just follow the rules blah blah blah ad nauseum

                    God, at the end of the day, who friggen cares?? Honestly, do you people who think Mr Tomic's mild indiscretion should be getting any more air time than what our troops are doing overseas or anything else that is way more important than a young bloke who can afford to own and operate an awesome car like what he has??

                    The young bloke wants to move to Monaco so he can drive his powerful super cars hassle free and on way better roads than what we could ever dream about. Good on him, and I wish I had the a fraction of the talent he has so that I could have whatever he has now.

                    Priorities people... Sort them out...

                      I guess I am just jealous that I spend more time picking up maths books in my younger days (more my parents forcing me to) than picking up a tennis racquet

                            Its another bandaid solution to create ... unlike teaching drivers on their L plates to know how & satisfactorily 'drive' vehicles, able to correct it in an accident causing incident, rather than to just only teach them how to 'operate' a vehicle according to the millions of road signs & rules!
                            As said by some official government transport law making person in response to ??(v8 drivers name) campaign for 140 speeds on our half decent highways, "We dont want to enforce advance driving courses on drivers because we dont want them to learn how to do skids." wtf ! I heard it on tv with my own ears... So like every thing, bandaid solution, we'll just make the whole problem be caused by speed, & do our best to slow everyone down, so when they crash hopefully they wont be going as fast, therefore less damage/deaths... tossers

                              And yes, politicians don't have a clue sometimes. They'll happily agree that many, many hours are required for flying a plane but don't teach people how to drive a car.

                                Tomic lost his licence today.
                                Caught doing 78 in a 60 zone in his yellow ferrari.

                                Was on a probationary licence (1 point for a year) and got a $220 point fine and 3 points so he is gonski!!!!!
