    We can organise that.......






    I was thinking of what my next car could be. Until I randomly found a Golf ball on my bed after not seeing it for 5 years (used it for PE in Junior High). No idea how it got there or where it came from. But it was quite a clear sign IMO..

    Congrats George!!

    I notice the side mirrors on the new Eos are the same shape as those used in Passat CC and now in Golf MK6.

    Artarmon is the service centre and parts, I don't think they deliver any car to purchaser from there.

    Hehe. I was shopping around for Imprezas and Libertys when I went to the ATM to take out cash for a holding deposit. It was early in the morning and I was the only car around until a mkII Golf GTI parked next to me. Might have possibly swayed me, lol.

    Thanks for all the compliments, more I drive it the more I'm liking it! Spent most of Sunday cleaning out the garage, making trips to Vinnies disposing of accumulated household goods in order to make room in the garage, finally found enough room to fit a car inside!

    What ever happened to the Jetta-I am sure it was sold at auction and repaired...you might even see it on the road again if that was the case.
    How funny would that be...
    Thanks Anthony, I’m really loving it but will always remember the Jetta as my introduction to VW cars. I would have bought another had I been able to find the right spec available for quick delivery. I’d bet the Jetta was repaired but I’m not sure how it works, my understanding is that the statutory write off register is national so with that VIN it should not be able to be registered in any state. Fixed properly she would have been a good buy, she was in perfect condition and just had the (very expensive) 60,000 KM service carried out.

    Thanks Karen, it’s a beautiful drive. My kids have flown the coop so it’s a good choice for us. It was to be delivered at Artarmon on Friday but I was unable to make it there. They apparently only do Saturday handovers there on the last weekend of the month or something like that so we arranged to pick it up at Chatswood on Saturday. Had to get there early to avoid getting tangled up with the Saturday crowds!

    They are a different shape, more aerodynamic, maybe less noise? I actually prefer the Jetta mirror shape for practicality but I’ll get used to it! I like the kerb lighting in the bottom of the mirror, great idea.

    Also the handover centre, but not Saturdays apparently!

    Cheers

    You're about the right age for the 16 year old. Maybe we should arrange something. Send me all your financial details and a photograph.

    Artarmon Delivery

    They do very classy delivery at Artarmon.

    Your car is presented in the glass fronted delivery room for you to inspect and sign all the paperwork etc.

    Then they open the glass garage doors and you drive out into the street .. and away!

    Darn... I missed out BIG time!! All they did for me after I signed the paperwork was giving me the keys to collect the car from the back lot in Chatswood showroom (unwashed) coz it was past their 5pm closing time but I insisted of not going home without a Jetta that day - that's how desperate I was
