Hey all

I just want to say how glad I am to have found this forum in the last week. Such quick & thoughtful responses without much rancour has been a pleasant experience.

I want to publicly thank Gead for kindly spending an hour & 1/2 of his time taking me for a drive today & thoroughly & thoughtfully giving me the best vehicle familiarisation I have ever experienced. Considering that there are no r36's in Melb to test he was the best advert for Volkswagen around (altho my cleaning lady thought he was a VW salesman )

Anyway ... as I said ... great to have found this place, great to have such good shared knowledge & next week (before escaping to the 33+c temps of Thailand & Vietnam ) I will probably order one.

I have ditched the factory bluetooth (in favour of the preferred option discussed in this forum) & added the DMI.

Enuf .... the point of this was to publicly thank Gead & also acknowledge the wealth of info you ppl have enlightened me with in my decision making

Cheers

ps I forgot to mention the kind offer of Alfie here in Melb as well

I kindly deferred the offer till i was more prepared to be terrified

Seriously... We need to have an R36 meet! Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra. We have such awesome cars - the drive alone would be worth it. Great Ocean Road anyone?

It would be awesome, but the 2 days solid driving to get there from Brisbane, plus a day or two there, then 2 days to get back, plus $500 for fuel, accommodation for at least 4 nights, etc, would make it far from practical for most in QLD.



Realistically I think anything other than state GTGs are going to be very hard to get off the ground.

Sorry to be a damp squib... would love to do it if only it were more feasible.

Yeah it was more of a "imagine how good this would be" thought than anything.

It would be awesome... one of my goals is to drive that road. In the R36 it would be uber-cool....
