Thats becasue Fosters is the stuff that they find in the Drip Tray after they take the Crownies out :D They do love it though, and to be fair it does taste different there to here, still tastes like a monkey's urinal cake though j:

[evorobin]

It's made by a company called tenants in the UK and is drinkable.

welcome

[velly_16v_cab]

cheers spa, i will be sorting the sportline out at the end of this month. i should be more settled money wise so i can get my gearbox rebuilt then get her booked in for shipping :)

[velly_16v_cab]

Doh, i have hit a problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just been looking on the internet about importing cars, I can't import one as i am here in OZ on a 457 temp working visa :confused( :(

thats really wrecked my day :(

[geeza]

Good to see another Golf nut out here - I'm also on the 457 (6 years now) but one of the girls at works reckons her fella can sort this out - i actually beliwve as he's only 20 but got 3 kitted skylines including 1 drift one - he's just chopped my springs as well and definetely knew a lot - i think he said someing about an Ofccial car importer bringing it in and "selling" it to you? I'll check it out and get back to you next week - all the best Gary

[velly_16v_cab]

cheers gary, let me know what you can do about this :)

[tallika_fan]

I thought i recognised this car, another pom on the board.

When i got word that i was getting a sponsorship after travelling through Oz i looked into shipping my '75 (when i last owned it) though the agency wasn't returning calls and thus the sponsorhip fell through.

From what i recall it wasn't cheap or easy to do so, though from the above couple of posts it looks like you might have found a way to do it.

Good luck!!

Pete

just found this pic of my car on the cover of GOLF+

I'm geussing that this would make it a whole lot easier, then you won't have to go through the trouble of importing etc. and it would give you a fresh base with which to start again with, if that's what you want.

[velly_16v_cab]

its not what i want but we will see if i get a fair price for her back home.

what this space ;)
