Half way round the world in 80 days!!!

Well after almost 3 months and nearlly 12000 miles My Cab GTi Sportline (one of only 449 sold in the UK) is here. breezed through compliance,RWC and then Vic roads pre rego check. But not for the faint hearted as a few issues along the way. I guess some of the Road worthy rules are as clear as mud and totally contradict Vic roads.
But never the less my VW and I are now back in the same garage.

Well done!!
I bet it was a happy day reuniting with your Cab after both of your long trips. Glad it wasnt damaged at all too.
Great to see another done up UK Golf with a history in Oz.
Better push Velly into getting his over here now!

I can now enjoy the Australian sunshine in it. Not sure which rims to run to day of the VW in Nov. The Porsche winter wheels in the 3rd pic are rare as and suit almost any mk VW.
Oh and I've told the vellster to get his over.

Thats awesome news mate, did you have the LHD Swallowtail too?

How did you get it here in the end, on a RoRo or container?

Just make sure you keep it out of the sun as much as you can, keep your dashboard treated and keep a sunshade on the inside of the windscreen. The sun can be very harsh over here on interiors and paint etc, i'd hate to see your dashboard crack.

Its awesome getting your car sent over, bought back memorys to me

Yeah that was mine. And the sportline came over in a container. Not cheap but worth every penny!!!!!!
Can you get dashboard covers,and if so where?
