Cheers guys
We try our best to wave the vag flag high in NZ. We dont have alot of the 'ill just drive down the road and pick up some parts from the tuning shop' like you guys can do in the UK & Europe, the market here is a bit small, NZ pop is only 4.1million.
And shipping stuff over from there and South Africa/US can be a killer....I have used SWG motorsport from the UK in the past.
We just make do with what we have or make stuff ourselves and scrounge at the wreckers, we do have a good knowledge base here of mates who have been into vagcars for years. NZ is a small place and if you have a problem there is always someone or someone who knows someone who will help you
On the plus side there are some very cool sealed quiet twisty roads that our club like to cruise on (with not many cops) we kiwis always goto the beach anyway, we just take the long way to get there (about 300-400kms round trip in one day)
The next round of the A1GP will be staged in Taupo (central north island) the Taupo track has recently had a big upgrade to it, maybe some of you will be watching this on TV? The Taupo track is central for most of our members and we do use it for trackdays.
Nice to feel welcome, truly
