Golf Owners Club

**Dr Spine** · 16-09-2006, 08:20 AM

Can anyone tell me if they've heard of a Golf or GTI drivers club in Queensland? I've searched the net and there does not seem to be a dedicated drivers club. I take delivery on the 23rd Sept of my GTI and would be interested in "club cruises" about south east Queensland.
I find it amazing if there is not a club for Golf and GTI drivers.......I may need to start one. You seem to have a great VW community in Vic and Tas and I hope to find similar minded folk up here. I'm in Toowoomba which is just over an hour west of Brisbane on the Great Dividing Range. Thanks.

VW clubs abound, however clubs for owners of specific models don't. Our forum is made up largely of Golf owners and there has been talk of making it a club, however geographical separation makes it impossible for get togethers for the whole membership.

welcome mate!
this community is basically a club really because we offer advice and meet for cruises and stuff!! rouse the QLD crew and go for a cruise im sure they wouldnt mind

Can I get an expression if interest from owners in the South East of Queensland (or willing to come) who would like to collectively organize a drive day. We'd meet at a yet to be chosen location (McDonalds carpark) and do a 1-2 hour drive through some great countryside, have lunch somewhere, talk all things Golf, GTI and Jetta and then part ways (eventually) as we head our own ways home. I'll keep a list of those who express interest and then keep you informed as plans come together.

Golf's Mk1 to Mk5 are welcome. GTI is my particular interest though.

Jetta's and Polo's are also most welcome.

Who's In?????

maybe there are too many cars from VW!!

I personally perfer a VW club which have all ranges of VWs, I perfer just a club for any VWs, my interest is on every single VW vehicles, I would perfer watercooled VWs as they provides larger range of performance, however I still love an aircooled, especially a T3. Watercooled I love the Golf most, but who knows one day I may perfer a Jetta! or Passat!

Thats a great idea Dr Spine. It would be good to see a gathering of the watercoolers off the forum up there. Come on guys, lets see this happen!
In november, by the way there should be another GTI day, to be held at Queensland Raceway. I will let you know when. An event not to be missed by MK5 GTI owners. I will be flying up for that one and will have some sort of late VW/Audi to drive.

you can put me down for that
i live about 30km's south of the qld border, so the sydney cruises are not an option for me
but with less that 1.5 hours to brisbane thats a goer, thats if you don't mind southern ers coming up for the day

**gtimk5** · 10-10-2006, 06:37 PM

No worries mate, you're most welcome to come. What sort of Mk2 do you drive?

There definitely are some nice roads in northern NSW. Terribly intollerant police though and is a bit far for a day cruise for folks living about Brisbane / Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba. Don't know if anyone would be driving too safely after a cookie from Nimbin though
