Hi from the UK, in the middle of emigrating to SA with my VW's!

[VR6 STORM]

Hi,
I thought it was about time to register with your fab forum! We (my Fiancee Mo and I) are in the middle of emigrating to the Adelaide area of South Australia. All our stuff is now on its way in a 40' high cube container, and we will be following in the first week of December 2007.

We have got to do all the usual stuff when we arrive, ie find a property rental, get tax file numbers, activate our Oz bank account, get jobs! etc etc, so still lots to do!! But the really hard stuff is now sorted, getting the permanent residents visas, car import permits, shipping, its taken us 3 years.
On to the interesting stuff for you guys.... our cars.

We are bringing our much loved MK1 Golf GTI and our Corrado VR6 Storm with us.... assuming the container ship doesnt sink

I have owned my GTI for about 14 years now. She is modified with a turbo technics conversion and full engine management, suspension and brake mods etc all done by me over the years with some help in Dyno tuning and fabrication by my good friends at www.jkm.org.uk. I couldnt bear to leave her behind.

We have owned our Corrado storm for 6 1/2 years now. She is completely standard with full VW service history and a receipt file that fills 2 lever arch files. She is also fitted with the optional airconditioning kit.

I always insisited that I would bring both cars with me, but after seeing the interest the Corrado creates on the forum, I knew it just had to be done!
Looking forward to getting there and getting the cars safely to our new home and meeting up with some new mates

I am still trying to work out how to post some pictures of the cars on the site here, all mine seem too big to insert Any help would be appreicated

Cheers!!

Go to the user tips and suggestions forum. Shanath has posted a very useful guide on how to do it. Even I could understand it.

Glad you like them, hope they get there in one bit, and that a flat battery doesnt corrupt the map files on the Golf's ECU. Will have to remember my laptop to reload them if there are problems!!
