This is pretty cool: http://www.cnet.com.au/google-maps-finally-with-aussie-traffic-339298530.htm I had a look at the maps yesterday during peak hour; unfortunately (or fortunately) I wasn't driving anywhre so I couldn't tell for sure, but looked pretty spot on with the usual suspect spots...

in case you haven't seen this, it's quite a cool bit of tech! http://gigapan.org/viewGigapanFullscreen.php?auth=033ef14483ee899496648c2b4b06233c A robotic attachment to a simple point-and-shoot digital camera makes a 1,474 megapixel photo (295 times the standard 5 megapixel camera!) It seems...

Are these any good? Do they even fit the GTI? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/18-inch-B7-RS4-Shadow-Chrome-Wheels-NEW-IN-BOX_W0QQitemZ360109334170QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Car_Parts_Accessories?hash=item360109334170&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A1%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 I'm just about giving...

Hi guys, One of my mates is thinking of re-locating from QLD to NSW and has an Audi A3 2.0TFSI. He currently pays a modest $600 or so a year, and has done some quotes online only to find that his insurance in NSW (Wolli Creek) is likely to be over $3000 a year! That's about 5 times as much...

Going from the professions thread, a lot of ppl here work in something to do with IT... you might appreciate this: http://www.break.com/index/it-guy-vs-dumb-employees.html

Brisbane - GTG Milton McDonalds, Friday 4th July 8.30pm Not much happening in the last few weeks in terms of a GTG, does anyone wanna organize something? Maybe even a short-drive tonight - McDonalds Milton? Or we can organize for another day... speak your mind! PS: we can do a vagcom / chip...

It's been raining bucketloads here in Brisbane, and I just saw online a report showing flash flooding through the CBD / Valley.... Looks like a baby Aston just took it in, http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/news/queensland/flash-flooding-plagues-seq/2008/06/02/1212258685358.html Photo 8 shows...

not sure if a repost, but I called my local dealer yesterday (Austral VW) and they left me on hold a bit and the recording said how 2008 would be an exciting year for VW Australia due to a few new vehicles, including Tourageg R50, Passat R36, Tiguam and the limited edition Golf GTI Pirelli...

I've got some very tiny particles all over my windscreen.. they are very annoying at sunset etc... and I thought they could be over-spray from another car although I only took it to VW service about 2 weeks ago and that's when I started noticing it... I tried to clean them with a generic glass...

has anyone got one of these? does it work? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/USB-KKL-Vag-Com-Cable-Interface-409-VW-Audi-VagCom-OBD2_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ43989QQihZ012QQitemZ220229976389QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW so much cheaper than normal VAGCOM - is it ok or waste of $?

This is a bit overdue, but I finally got out of my @$$ to get pics & vids uploaded... On Wednesday 02/04/08 me and my friends in Argentina went to a track day organized by the Club BMW Argentina - though we only had 2 BMWs in our group, we had a lot of fun and there were lots of cool cars from...

Anyone going to this? I'm thinking of going to the track day on 25th May... has anyone gone before and can comment on it? COPY + PASTE from VWWATERCOOLED FORUMS: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our upcoming days in QLD are: Level 3 track time –...

Saw it @ the Porsche dealership in Newstead yesterday as I drove past during the day, and tonight I went over there to confirm and see it on the flesh! It's LHD like all CGTs so I doubt we'll be seeing it on the streets, but something rare in this part of the world! PS: The dealer is well...

I'm taking my car in for a 30k service next week, and wondering whether I should bother taking my own oil (saves me $100 on the service and I get to chose the brand / type) or going with the dealer's Castrol Softtec Plus or something like that. Does anyone have any knowledge in this area and...

Well this car's been for sale for about 4 months as far as I know... and the asking price on it has always been VERY high (i.e. higher than a new car) but NOW it's listed at a price that would tempt me if I was to buy a new car.. So just in case someone here is about to order a GTI in QLD, you...

Just doing some random browsing on the net (a bit bored) and I've just come accross some of the most horrible things for the GTI (in my opinion at least): Lots of people playing with lights it seems... there must have been a huge sale on Plastic Molders or something that I missed...

Hi there, Was wondering if anyone has got or at least come accross a product to enlarge the paddleshifts on the GTI's DSG... I found something that was designed by a mob in the US for the previous TT and R32 (MK4).. can't find anything on MK5 though... http://www.madracing.net/

Anyone up for it? Tomorrow (Friday) around 7.00pm or so @ McDonalds Milton and from there elsewhere maybe? Just for something to do...

Hi guys, Like many around here I would like to get an ECU upgrade for my GTI. However, can't quite believe that the price being charged is what people are asking for! Being in Brisbane, I was looking at APR but the sad thing is once I mistyped their website, hence going to the American...
