Cro

it was new when I bought it about 5 years ago, but no longer sold in petrol form. V6, and something a little more family friendly than a Supra.

Wow yes it has been a long time, maybe 15 years? @genebabyreached out to say hello, and it came to my email. Till then I forgot all about this place. So many memories (or lack thereof), especially on these snowy cruises. what goes on here these days? I’ve got a petrol powered Turbo 6, thou in a different make

. (Clearly I've forgotten how to use this forum) Wow, I'm impressed that this forum is still going, as is my favourite cruise of the year. Nice work @EvilDaifufor keeping this signature event alive

It's Movember time of year again, and it is supporting a cause very close to most of the people here being a majority male member base. I am doing this to help raise awareness and funds for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and depression in men. What many people do not realise is that close to 3,000 men die of prostate cancer each year in Australia and one in eight men will experience depression in their lifetime, many of whom don't seek help. No doubt all the male members here will at some stage in their life have to get their prostate checked, and lets hope that none of us end up with cancer. Better to support the cause by raising funds and awareness so a vaccine or other treatment method can be realised before it is your time. Most of us have also been subjected to depression, whether it was when we were beaten by a Expensive Daewoo or a bit more serious than that. To support my Mo please donate to these worthy causes, click the Mo and follow the prompts Movember Australia - Home

I have....no one signed up

Hi guys I wasn't planning on organizing a snowy run this year, hopefully someone else will put their hand up. More than happy to help with past details maps and stuff. I'm into the longer drives these days, no less than 1000km a day over 3 days sort of drives

Any Bob Jane, Jaxx Quickfit or Tyrepower will stock the PP2's... Call one of each store, as one of them usually has a special on. They provide more mechanical grip than your RE050's, and all the other tyres mentioned here bar the PS2's. The PS2's are like the king of tyres, but for 18's you won't find them under $700 a corner unless you import them from tirerack. Cost me $525 a corner from Tirerack back when the Aussie dollar was worth 82US cents.

Certain words wake me from hibernation Track day Snowies Michelin

Not sure about where the light is in the FG, however in the BA/BF it was in the parcel tray and Bob takes it out before tinting.

I'd love to go especially being my birthday, but a saturday track day will be like peak hour on Parramatta road...

My car came standard with them, fantastic feature

You won't find a better gripping road tyre than a Michelin Pilot Sport 2. Problem is for a 20" rim you'll be looking at over 1k a corner...

Personally, I wouldn't take the car if it didn't have DSG. It just isn't that exciting to drive or fast in manual form, and it will affect your resale value. There isn't a transmission that can beat the DSG for performance and practicality.

I'd take it your dealing with McGraths in Sutherland? Shoddy bunch of salesman, I dealt with McGraths in Liverpool and will never again buy a car from them for very similar reasons. If I were you I'd cancel the deal, and go straight to either Mascot, Fivedock, Chatswood or Penrith. They all seem to take care of their customers from what I'm reading on the VW forums

I can't help much there... I've never had a blow out from any tyre. I have however bucked two rims running Dunlop SP3000's (back wheels), whilst the rims running Michelin PP1's (front wheels, previous generation pilot preceda) were fine. This was on Nerriga road between Braidwood and Nowra, was the roughest gravel/dirt road I've ever driven on.
