Thanks for the warm remarks.
Seems to be a friendly and active site ... and mighty nice cars too.
I've got alot of browsing to do!

<<Is there a big V dub scene in Australia?>>
Here most of the revhead enthusiasts fall into two camps Jap turbos or local V8s. The GTI scene isn't so active as yours - or nearly so big. There aren't so many cars and they're pretty thinly spread around. We didnt get many GTis before the Mk4 came along. (No Mk1s or Mk3s and only a handful of Mk11s). In fact, -including private imports - there's probably fewer than a hundred GTIs (pre-Mk4) across the whole continent. (Its a feast to log on here and see hundreds of them). It changed a bit with the Mk4 and there's numbers of them running around but they' were always put down as too slow and unexciting to make much of a following. Pity because they're fluid and fast enough across the ground There are few R32s getting around and those guys seem to be pretty enthusiastic. If the Mk5 GTi lands at a decent price it will be a good thing. So far, all the Mk5s I've seen are tall square minivan lookalikes The air cooled guys used to pretty organised but I havent seen many of them getting around lately. Guess there's fewer and fewer still alive.
