    I've just got to pick it up and find some roads now... is the Royal National Park (Sutherland, Sydney) any good?
    SHIRE PRIDE!!!! hahahaha welcome to the forums!

    My mate totalled his GTR down there... but that aside it's a decent run. There's a few cruises in the next month or so, so keep your eyes and ears peeled!!

    Welcome to the forum mate, nice choice of car, go find some nice winding roads and enjoy. We all love our MK4's here, warts 'n all, I'd have one over a Commodore any day.

    I haven't been in the area long but funnily enough I got the "Nasho" tip from Charlie Cox (new top gear presenter). He said it was his fave haunt back when he was a Gymea revhead.

    The RNP might be good as I need something nice close to home for early morning blats. Have previously lived in Bathurst (some amazing roads there + Mt Pan and near Hornsby (old Pacific Highway + parks) and enjoyed drives there.

    Nothing (IMO) beats the Bells though. I had an *ahem* memorable dawn run to Lithgow recently in dad's Jetta... I only met two cars in the whole trip.

    Got It!


    I picked up the new beastie tonight, took it for a fang and had time for a few quick pics.

    I think I'm in love...

    They really make our Aussie stuff feel ancient, don't they? Being a 2001 model did you get the trip computer on the dash?
