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,

    That is hilarious!
    The guy gets so excited, even though they don't reach the puddle for like 20 seconds.

    Can't believe they are being taken to court over it though

              I have to admit I did that in Surfers Paradise a few years back. In my defence I was unable to change lanes to avoid the puddle, so I made the most of it.

              It was during schoolies so there were about 10 excited young kids waiting to cross the road at the lights.... aaaaabsolutely sheeted with water. Funniest thing ever.

              Yes I know, I'm an a$$hole

                    That clip was hilarious!!!


                    But seriously why is it an offense to drive on the road, in your lane, doing the speed limit..... get fined for the sake of getting fined?

                      IIRC you get a realy hefty fine or you lose your license if you get caught doing it here.

                          remember driving home a few years back during school holidays, it was warm, but it had rained and some kids were standing next to a large puddle pointing and shouting at me to drive through it and spray them with water.....I of course obliged and everyone was smiling by the end of it lol

                            Because it is dangerous, moronic behaviour. Not only does it cause the pedestrians to be soaked and inconvenienced, it has the potential to cause a serious accident and injury to bystanders or other road users. The possibility of the driver losing control when one pair of wheels hits water and the other pair does not can not be overlooked.

                            I understand the driver is potentially facing a big fine......the bigger the better as far as I'm concerned.

                            Cheers
