Spotted in QLD

Here's a good story; a story of true VW spirit. It was about 4:30pm, so traffic was congested and nobody was going anywhere anytime soon. I needed to pull into the 7/11 from the left-right-turn-lane (please see illustration below) but due to the high volume of traffic, this would have normally taken a long time. As soon as I pulled up to the lane and switched my indicator on, a fellow MKIV driver spotted me; we gave each other the "VW nod" and he let me in after signalling that there was no oncoming traffic in the lane next to him.

I posted about it on Facebook shortly after, thanking the anonymous driver for his kindness. Shortly after, I received a comment on a photo of my car that I had uploaded on Facebook. The comment read, "Nice - I just saw this this arvo. Let the driver in to the 7-11 at oxenford in the afternoon traffic. Very nice car, clean." As it happens, this person was mutual friends with somebody I know and was able to see the photo of my car because I had tagged my friend in it! Hah, small world! Needless to say, the rest is history! Thanks for letting me in, Matt!

Here's my good drawing:

That's the one!

Is the owner of the Black Abarth 500 Fiat on here? Number plates 0SS500? (I think) Followed me On the M1 south bound in traffic the other week.

Caxton St this afternoon outside Gambaros..

In a line, the white, then black, then chrome wrapped LFA trio...! They looked incredible all in a line.

Saw Ben (Tarmac) in his grey R last night turning onto Ipswitch road, and a clean nice red mk6 GTI at probably about 11 Friday night near Yeerongpilly. Seen a couple mk3's around too, nothing special though. Miss driving mine already!

I spotted Lito in his black mk4 Golf GTI (heavily modded), wednesday last week at the intersection next to Sunnybank Plaza. First time I believe I have seen a forum member on the road. :) It looked very clean, and those wheels looked amazing!
