Did you bring them both from the UK? I thought that personal imports were limited to one per person

I advise tinting of the windows before summer. Perth UV will destroy your interior in short time

Good to see another WA member

Thanks,
My fave VAG cars are the 80's ones too,
I only bought the Audi with me, the Golf I bought about 2 weeks ago, found it in the trader, its also a uk import, came to Oz in 95.
Going to get the Audi windows done soon, I keep it in a garage so it should be ok.
and yes the Golf pic was taken in malaga, good guess

It's better (for both yourself and our server space

) to use a free host such as "Photobucket". There you can have any size photo that you want and even scale it. To enable it on the forum you just post a link using the picture icon on the toolbar. See the "User Tips" forum.

Hi

Yep its pretty quick, back in the uk on a old disused private road

, on a coldish day i did some speed testing

with the aid of a stopwatch (very technical i know) i managed a mid 6seconds to 60mph (100kmh)
At 6000 revs in third gear the speedo was reading 100mph (162kmh) into forth and it went of the clock, speedo only goes to 120mph (220kmh).
and i ran out of road

i think it would prob do 135-140mph,
it makes an awesome noise at high revs, u cannot beat the sound of twin 45's
