My new life is soon to begin...

Well, I am getting things organised to move to the country, 5.5 acres of nice land about 20 mins from work via the Grasstree hill "Targa" stage, which has a 60 km/h speed limit posted on it these day and is pretty icy at this time of the year.
The caravan is home until I can build a house.
"Gunter" my old competition Mk1 and my Caddy ute sit up there in my 10x12 metre shed. Plenty of room in the shed to house the GTI and van, plus I will section part off for a living area!

Cheers, Andrew

good luck Andrew! New starts are always exciting

hopefully now you can get your Caddy and Gunther finished

Thanks Josh, yep, should have a bit of time soonish for the caddy, I did 21,000 kms in Gunter whilst using him as a comp car and parts delivery car over 6 1/2 years. Not sure what to do with him these days. Who says Mk1's are unreliable? Maybe I should fit the 9A out of the ute into him and have a well sorted partially worn out road car....
Hmmm, toughie, not real sure just yet. If I ever get my feet back on the ground I would like to build a later model golf to go and play with.

Good luck Andrew! hope it all works out in the end!

I'd love to have that kinda shed with more than a couple cool volkswagens in it!

Thanks fellas, its been a battle over the last few years but hopefully I can focus very shortly!
Camping spots are available to you when you ever get down here!! Or theres always the shed which will have the entertainment theatre in it.

1 bedroom house with 10 car garage. That looks like paradise to me

+1

Not to mention remoteness, fresh air, peace and quiet (except for the noise you make!) LOVE IT!

Exactly what I was thinking, having just said goodbye to one of my cars this saturday, (to a tasmanian buyer for 'sensible reasons') I love the sense of priority!! Man it must get cold in that caravan.
