G'day from down under - MK5 R32
« on: December 06, 2013, 12:26:40 am »
Hi from the land of OZ!

I moved from the UK to Brisbane, Australia about 18 months ago and have just managed to find myself a tasty little MK5 R32. I'd previously had a number of Golf's and a Corrado VR6 in the UK so was itching to get back into some German machinery!

Finally found what i was looking for after a fairly lengthy wait:

MK5 Golf R32
DBP
Recaro bucket seats
Manual gearbox
+ a fair amount of extra goodies  :P



Here are some photos :

Cheers guys

As for plans, i am looking to do a few things:

RNS-510
MK6 Golf RVC retrofit
Highline Full Height cluster swap (from lots and lots of reading this seems to be a complete pain in the  :booty: ... but i like a challenge!)

good to see another IT bod :)

Yeah its a bigger place, certainly dont feel confined and the houses here are massive compared to the average UK home. Let's not go into the differences in quality of the house construction though else we will have a war on our hands lol (oh and let's not mention anything about Cricket either!  :sad1:)

Colour looks sweet! Is this enhanced/photoshopped? Or just what the colour should look like with proper sunlight!  :rolleye: Whats the road tax like? Same here in the UK? £475 for 12 months?
