Hi folks I'm going to work in Adelaide at about June time, probably for about a year and so am looking for some info on the place.

Just the kinda normal everyday stuff, where to eat, hang out stuff like that.

Any info greatly appreciated.

Thanx in advance.

Mick.

where about in Adelaide???

Cheers
Dave

Not too sure at the moment, the job is at the Holden plant so I guess I'll be staying near to there

theres a holden plant in adelaide? well you learn something new every day.

well the production plant is in elizabeth (thanks google). not really near here but in adelaide nowhere is more than 30 mins away.

i'd love to help you out tho, ate and drank and been most everywhere in the city centre and around there.

oh and in advance, welcome to adelaide :beer

hi there.
yep im from adelaide as well mind you ilive down south so i dont think i could really be to much help as to whats good in elizabeth, (im assuming you ill have a place up there aswell)

my boyfriend Ryan (Rota_Motor on here) lives in port adelaide which is about 30 mins from elizabeth he might have a bit more of an idea, but welcome to adelaide (when you get here):thumb

If you are looking for "good" places to eat, drink and hang out I don't think you will find them in "the 'beth". You will have to head towards the city and inner metro, Nth Adelaide, Norwood, Parkside/Unley.

Cheers

Thanks for the welcome, it seems like a friendly place already

At the the moment details are a bit thin, but as soon as I find out more I will let you know.

See you aqt the Volks Enthusiasts Club meeting. 1st wednesday of the month at the Hackney hotel, Hackney rd, Hackney.
meet some enthusiastic likeminded people

Thanx for the invite vwtyp2 - I'll be sure to check it out.

i live near the elizabeth holden plant and places to hang out are glenelg -beach great night crusin and there are some great reasturaunts in glenelg too :thumb:o tununda the wine district is too to hang around some good stuff up there!!

cheers mattie ps looking forward to seeing you soon

Hi guys (and gals) I decided to bump this post back up as Ive finally got a date set for when I'll be coming out. (18th May).
It looks like they are sorting me out an apartment nearer to the coast (about 20 mins from the plant - can't remember the name of the place - I'll try and find out).
If there's any shows going on in or around the area it'd be good to hook up with some fellow VDubbers and maybe make some new friends.
I might also checkout buying a VW to cruise about in whilst I'm there, dont think I can be dealing with the hire car they'll sort me out with - I need to cruise in style :thumb. so if anyone has any rough guides on prices that'd be great.

Regards. Mick.

I beleive Glenelg is where I will be - if you see a pale skinned english guy mattie - be sure to ask him to buy you a beer - it'll probably be me - lol.

a cool car to buy would be vwtype2`s oval now thats a real cruiser if its still for sale!!!

I used to live in Adelaide..
a fair hike from Glenelg to Elizabeth???
just my 2c worth

I'm not too sure of the geography of the place but I understand that Glenelg was chosen as a base due to the locality of restraunts and ameneties, I've been told its about a 20/30 min drive from plant but how true that is I dont know.

One thing that has been mentioned to me at work this week is that they want me to relocate to Adelaide permanently, but this leaves me with a small problem.

The car I'm building at the moment (the type 34 ghia in my avitar) is still unfinished, and if I was to relocate it would mean shipping it out as a rolling shell and several crates of parts.

Does anyone have experience of importing a car in this condition? What kind of stuff would I have to consider as far as the legalities of registering the car, getting it tested etc...

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanx. Mick.
