Congratulations!!! I'll be extra careful when I'm driving in Qld next.... 😀

ha ha ha........the comment he gave me on my test was "good car controll and road position"🙂

havent you heard anthiron, all coppers are corrupt...i reckon that half of them put people on the road just so the government can make money out of them....screw all the dollars out of the public!!!

oh and congratulations mate!! Nice to see those dubs of yours getting around...except i cant see that far?!:thumb

next time i'm home in mooloolaba i'll give you a call and we can go for a cruise dude.

Good to hear! Hope to see you at an event in the near future.

CONGRATS NICK!!!!!!!!!

Yayayayayayayayaayay for my favourtie boy on the coast:kiss (not that i know any other boys on the coast hehehe)

look foward to going cruising with you -- yay now you can finally come to all the shows and motorkhanas without having to rely on others for rides and stuff - yayayayayy the independance yayayayayay for nick cause he's so stylin' yayayayay you're gunna pick up heaps of chicks now cause you're so cute and now you have the ultimate chick magnet -- a VOLSKWAGEN!!! wahooooooo!!!!!

yayayay for it being a BAJA - i have never driven one...so i look foward to you letting me have a go!!! i promise you can have a go of the T3 (but then you will feel totally inferior and jipped cause you dont have enough style to go the T3...but in time my dear, in time, i will convert you to the type 3 way....mwahahahahah!)

we can practice handbrake turns!!!!!! (my new obession - i want to try and do a u-turn on lytton rd with my handbrake heheheh)

actually - i am going up the coast this sat to the eumundi markets - might drop in for a visit - otherwise....will catch up with you soon - i want to come up and visit you and kat... you BAJA FIENDS!!!!!!

anyway --- CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and now i am going to get all motherly on your arse.......sorry...but i am 10 years older than you and i DONT WANT YOU TO DIE!!!! ok?
so be sensible.....dont speed cause you might die or cause yourself a lot of harm...or at least crash or get a ticket. DONT DRINK AND DRIVe, ok baby? NEVER. NEVER EVER. there is NEVER an excuse. if you are going someplace and you are driving...well...NO BEER. if youa re going to drink, don't take the BAJA. Men between the ages of 17 and 24 are most likely to DIE. its true. ITS A STATISTIC and its true. so if you can survive the next 6 years or so, then all will be fine.... UNTIL THEN play it safe my dear, don't drink and drive, don't speed ever, and if there is a pack of guys, just stay away from them because there is nothing scarier than a bunch of guys together cuase chances are they wanna beat the shit out of something.

okay.

its over. no more motherliness.

back to yayayayayayayay Nick got his p's wahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thorun xxx😀

Well, the preceding foregoers haven't left me anything to say.

ha ha thankyou for your concern Thorun:P ......i promise ill drive as safe as possible in my beast just for you........though ill probobly get a much more long winded speech off my mother..........i can just see her face ....(she hasnt seen my baja yet!:P) ........as for saturday i could meet u in emundi land if wanted to catch up........might be interesting finding a park though........havent been to the markets for a while maybe ill go pick up latham (Thorgin) he should be just arriving on the train from middle (of no where) mount about now and come down with him and meet u there.........if that sounds ok to you???? .....ahhhh this independance thing is great i took the baja for a spin on a dirt road today near our place BY MYSELF!!! to get a feel for the handling on the dirt.....i love the fact that u really have to drive the car and not just sit back and steer like new cars....its fun! good ol VW's im all hyper now but i was really suprised i wasnt nervous at all in my test:alien

Congratulations Anthiron !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Waiting for my turn this comin July ... All I need now is the P then I can start cruising in my lovely baby cal looker :P ..

BTW: visited your site, saw your Baja !!! Very cool 😎 !!!

keep safe guys : seagull

thanks ikube😎 i take it you guys have to drive with the "P" plate on your car while u are a P's driver in NSW and VIC dont u? we dont 😎 good ol queensland😉

WOOHOO!!

Congrats Nick :thumb

thanks jay......havent been in chat at the right times for a while....i hope everything is good with u.........and penguin:P

So mate you`ll be able to join the manx club now and come on a few runs hey??? I think the Baja owners could use the support :vader

Dont mean be a downer but here we have a very confident P plater who has never had a lesson. Congratulations, but try and keep it real so we arent sending flowers to your funeral, and we dont have to read another farked bug thread.

No sympathy for you kombikid. Although I prolly should cos I did equally stupid things in my youth.

Heard on the radio that someone got fined $200 (?) for using a mobile phone on a pushbike while on a cycleway. crazy.

im a safe driver amazer. although i havent had any professional lessons im not a bad driver......if i was a bad driver he wouldnt have passed me

Good on you 😉

mate i am I am sure you will be a save driver but SHIT just cause he passed ya does not meen much. Have you seen some of the drivers out there and they all passed as well. I must say i am a firm believer everyone should do defensive driving courses. I have done them for both my bike and car and they are great you learn heaps and get to skid the car and bike around the circuit:thumb

hmmm.....poor nick is copping it now!!!! wish you'd never said that you had no lesons huh?

but yes...we all did silly things in our youth.....i drove my auto golf for nearly 2 years WITHOUT A LICENSE when i was nicks age....oh dear. needless to say i was VERY CAREFUL but my mind boggles at the trouble i could have got myself into......let alone the insurance.......jezuz. then i finally got my auto license and got a passat, then for some random reason but a freaking laser, which was manual. i proceeded to drive that for a year without a license (and i remember a good 6 weeks of clunking gears before i finally got the hang of a manual)

sigh.

needless to say i am still alive............but silly driving was the least of my worries...i did lots of stupid shit when i was a youngster.....

BUT, as i was saying to nick in my post before - he is in the prime age group to DIE. for all of these kinda reasons, young guys tend to do crazy stuff with their cars, alcohol, get in fights, get invovled in all kinds of risk-taking behaviours.

BUT there are plenty of people out there ---- ALL AGES, ALL GENDERS, ALL NATIONALITIES - who are total crap drivers and MAKE ME SCARED TO BE ON THE ROADS.

BUT having met Nick, though no i havent seen him drive, he strikes me as a fairly sensible young lad!

AND , i may be biased in saying this (and it probably doesnt apply to all of us) but as a VW driver, i think i have been a fairly cautious/considerate/safe driver all along - due to a combination of 1. love for my car and fear of damaging it 2. the sheer piss-weakness of the vw engine 3. arrogence of other new-car-drivers attitiude/road rage to older, slower cars

hmmmm.....maybe i am digging myself a hole by posting this ---- but yeah i do share the horror of "oh my god he's never ahd a lesson" but there are plenty of ppl out there who had 50 lessons and are still crap and yes they passed their test too. BUt some ppl are naturally adept at driving (it is a skill some people can pick up very easliy) and in the case of the young dubbers on this forum, i reckon most of them have been into cars for long enough to know a fair bit about how to drive.how an engine works/road rules/ fear of breaking their "baby" beloved vw.

ANYWAY --- there is my rant.

and i agree andy - we should all do defensive driver courses - i would love to ---but have you seen how much they cost???????????? and why there isn't some free "refresher course" or defensive driving course that is compulsory when ppl renew their license every 10 years is beyond me ---- road rules change, traffic rules change, people skills/knowledge detirioate, urban sprawl/increasing relience on cars has meant a greater number of ppl drive daily and has increased road rage and the like ----- people should be given an oppurtunity to refresh their skills (without fear of being fined or their licences taken away....)

ANYWAY!!!! thats my 2 cents, and as a ex-young-dodgy-driver i rekon Nick is ok!!! and i still say congrats to you my dear --- but always keep in mind that human bodies weren't designed to travel at the speed of your baja......so play it safe my sweet cause if you die before we get to race at Valla i will kill you!!!!!!!!!!!!! heheheheheh.

thor xx

I remember the time, I went sideways through the trees blocking the whole road, in the wet at oriellys guest house. And the time I spun the olf flacon (this was while I was saving for the VW) off the raod and into a garden bed while trying to impress a girl, and the time ........... and the time............., But I have survived!!!!!!

oriellys.....awesome place.......really windy dangerous road at highspeed.......well ive been driving for a while now and ive had my superbug sideways in the dirt many times but i dont drive like a dickhead on the road........as for defensive driving courses well thats great and id love to do one but as thorun said they cost money that i dont have......i dont drive my car to the extreme in fact i leave 10 minutes earlier for work then when i was driving our subaru just so i can take it easy.......i may have had no lessons but i can still drive quite well and i know the limitations of the car.
