Yeah Google for me too. Was slightly disappointed when the first few results were for the predominantly-aircooled VW clubs, but VWW came through :)

Edit: Wikipedia as an option? Do we have a Wikipedia article?

Realy? whats the other one?

I seen a sign on a church the other day. Said. "Google doesn't have all the answers". Beside this sign was a sign with www.whateverchuchitwas.com.au (http://www.whateverchuchitwas.com.au). I'm pretty sure if i googled the church, i would find it, thus, google has ALL the answers.

Peter (Brackie) dropped off some of his produce to a resturant where my sister worked. She too has a golf and Peter talked to my sister. She told him about my love for golfs and it went from there. That was many years ago now.

Just a shout out to Brackie if you still wonder thro here.

Pretty sure I heard about it through Vortex... I used to jump between both, but then got sick of the circle jerking on there by people who don't own dubs.

I decided an R32 Golf was going to be my next car, and figured I should have a look at what the Australian Golf community was like online. Google led me here. I've previously been a member of the Ford Forums, OzLiberty and RS Liberty Club websites, and I'm impressed with what I found here!

Sorry to bounce a 3yr old thread.

But, I think this would be nice to see some results from the "current" generation of VWW users...

Googled my Polo GTI and came across this site

Does somebody know how long watercooled has been around for?

28-07-2011, 06:03 PM
it was so long ago i can't even remember....back when I joined there were less than 500 registered users i think, and that was in the fisrt half of 2005.

A VR6 coolourconcept changed hands between two guys from school and I started following the site (was given links to the big cruise in 2006), heard a lot about Ki11z car from a mate so tracked down the thread, joined when I had convinced a mate to sell me the VR as mentioned...but then bought one nearby. Was a troll for about a year, then went official. Have been asking stupid questions and been making nothing contributions ever since. e.g :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:

So besides The Hawk...no one's here from following the stickers?

Somehow I'd already voted, that must've been a long time ago. Also, was kinda nice to see a couple of Dave Mack posts in here, you've revived a piece of the old VWW.

Some of us pre date the stickers.

Take a look at a few join dates on the member profiles. Earliest you'll find is about May 2005.

I found it by google searching. Was looking for some floor mats as my bora never came with some. found here VWW but didnt pay to much attention, signed up but didnt do anything. found out about DOVW so came for a look as i was down in melbourne. stayed quiet on the forum, then went back to DOVW the following year and got talking to Silver dub, basically got stuck into the forum from then on :cookie:
2000+ posts and I still have no idea :facepalm:
