    Nice work mate, very jealous though

    Will this also be the most northerly MK2 in Australia?

    Most likely mate, yeah The euro car scene here is pretty much non-existent (probably around 90% of the cars on the roads are Toyota Hilux's, haha), although I spotted a nice mk1 Golf once! Even my e30 (which you'd think, generally, is a bit more common) gets frequent stares/thumbs up, etc. from random people... I must say the lack of traffic and suprisingly good roads in the Territory/Darwin area are a perfect environment for these kind of cars

    Can't wait for this car to arrive! (Currently in transport)

    Not too bad actually, especially around Darwin, wide 2-3 lane roads with up to 100km/h speed limits on some roads around town, a lot of new or renovated roads, still a lot of road projects underway. You get some pot holes from time to time, especially after the heavy rain during the wet season, but the local road authority are pretty quick to fix them when they appear. Most importantly though the traffic is very light to say the least (a lot of the roads seem overdesigned for the amount of traffic they get). Cars (especially with manual gearboxes) don't get as abused here as a result... + 130km/h speed limit on the Stuart Hwy past Palmerston towards Kakadu/Litchfield National Parks, which makes it a nice weekend drive

    Very nice! Never been a huge fan of the small bumpers but I'm really starting to like that look now - the car looks somewhat lighter. The wheels are mint - very nice
