    Nice clean VW there. I'm contemplating a Golf R at the moment. For a new one there's a long wait unfortunately.

    Yes a Golf R would be awesome. Although if i had my way id probably just get a new 4 door Polo GTI. As its as fast as the Golf GTI is standard, a few tweeks would make it awesome.

    lol stonemonkey is "TOOSIK' for us :p

    (btw cant tell which are numbers and which are letters, so might have got the number plate wrong)

    I drive VW Tiguan TDI - nice ride, good for work cos I carry a lot of stuff around a lot of the time and goes miles on the fuel, which is good cos I do a lot of driving (approx 700km per week)

    Some people don't pick up on the plates at all, which results in peculiar behaviour. I get heaps of people who barrel up behind me on the freeway, and then either slow right down and inch their way past me, or they just pull in behind me and stay there! The other thing I get is people diving out of my way, like they are possessed, as I come up behind them ... sometimes when I'm on the Calder, I feel a little like Moses parting the Red Sea ;)

    Rob ... got any shots of your G6?

    Got any more shots of it? I looks pretty sweet!

    Toosik was delivered in Nov '09, and haven't had a single infrigement since. In the year leading up to getting her, I racked up $1,700 in fines ... lucky, as a pomme, and on a 457 visa, I don't need a Vic licence, and they have nowhere to put my points :lol:

    Yea I find that when you are posting pics with pixel width greater than the forum width it crops them.
    Not sure what that actual limit is, but you could scale the picture to be just less than that.
    But I've found the best solution is to use click-able thumb nails, then you don't compromise the original resolution.

    Very nice, TF, very nice ... me likey ... and the S13 was always my fave 'used car' in GT2 ... that and the Soarer looked awesome tricked out ... and I dig the colour too, man, it's the bizzo (mine's got heaps of blue in it close up, but the same vibe as your's), but next time I'm going white ... I live up a gravel road, and the dust just plain gives me the :):):):)z :cry:

    It would be if it wasn't for all that Diesel vibration, it just shakes it off like a dog! And the air horn helps get the last of it....
    Plus, a little bit of left over dust adds to the look that's great for intimidating inferior road users!
