HAHAHAHAHA
Medowie, I use to live there.
Its the centre of the universe. good place to store veedubs though.
Good luck with the resto for your daughter, you couldn't have bought her a better car as her first.

there is a non official club in newcastle.
It is called DNVK Newcastle.
You can contact Sam (VWFOOL) on this forum.
He is the one that holds the reins with the club.
I moved because i thought Medowie wasn't the place for me, but now i am considering moving to Central QLD. Not much difference between medowie and Glendale which is near Rockhampton
