Yeah the place looks pretty weird when there is no GP on..

Yeah the corporate facilities are used for indoor sports during the year, i think you are right re indoor soccer etc...

Thanks guys :)

i lowered(30mm) my MK6 2.0TDI on Eibach pro kit last week, with the same issue front left approx 5mm higher than front right. rear springs are fine. i did not measure the stock height before. the shop installer says difference within 10mm is fine. any one else has the same issue?

On a side note, tonight I measured the height between the top of the tyres and the wheel arches and found that the front right sits lower than the front left by about 5mm, and the rear left sits lower than the rear right also by about 5mm. Is this normal?

Went for a spin with my mate on Sunday afternoon. Drove up through Mt Sugarloaf (near Newcastle) where there are some nice medium and high speed twisties, then up the mountain to the lookout for a break. Great afternoon for a drive and the first time my R had been driven in nearly 3 weeks.

Gotta love the R in whatever guise.. must have been a hoot

Yes it was good fun - best part is that its only 15 minutes or so from home. In the next few weeks ill go down the Old Pacific highway - starting from the Central Coast. Ive been down that way a few times with my brother before, once in an Audi S3, another time in an Audi R8 V10 and also in an Audi A1. Great roads.

My god, it's an appliance sale, just needs some bargain signs and it is a set.. :)


Looks sweet, sure it was a great run and a head turner for those that saw 3 white Golfs in hot persuit

"Pay less, pay cash...."

Nice CW beasts.....

Of the three cars in the pic, I like the white one the best.

Seriously though, would have been a hoot to be part of the drive. Now that I'm hols and going nowhere I wish there was a cruise to go on.
