Clocking!

[DubSteve]

There is talk of a federal system, but nothing yet.

I worked on this system 3 years ago when I worked at REVS it was in the pipeline but a long way from completion.

Having bought my 1st Mk1 last week (an unseen ebay purchase too !!!) I did what I would do with any car:
-Check all corners of the car internally, to see if there has been any shunts.
-drive and give it heaps !
-check for oil in the water and vica-verca.
-prioritize the condition of the body over the mechs. you can easily fix mecs. yourself and to a profess. std, as oppossed to straightening chassis/ panelbeating and painting.
-check out all the numbers. Mine, being an English import, was nice and easy, as all the numbers matched and they was a Australian Import compliance plate proudly displayed, dated 1995.
-be open minded to walk away. In my case, if the car didn't match the ebay description, I would have said 'thanks, but no thanks'


and yes the car made it home from Torquay to Melbourne, without any problems and a 'surf town' RWC....need I say more..................
