Hello from Canberra!
New to the forum and new to the brand...
I'll be picking up my first Volkswagen this Friday, a [B]brand new[/B] Passat R36 sedan.
EXCITING!  
Colour: Blue
Options: Sunroof & Sat Nav
Will get the windows tinted ASAP.
Got a drive away price of $70k which I thought was pretty good - especially for Canberra.
Modifications: ZERO! I really can't see how this car will need any... Suspension, exhaust, gearbox, performance are all AWESOME!!!
I've traditionally been a Holden man. Since November 2006, I've owned three VEs - a V6 Calais sedan, V8 Clubsport R8 and V8 Calais V Sportwagaon.
Before those I had a V6 VX Commodore and before that a V6 VT Commodore. I'm loving the idea of the Passat R36 V6 that performs almost as good as a
V8. But moreso looking forward to a car that seems to be overall a much better package than anything I've driven in the past. Also looking forward to
being an active forum member, learning as much as I can about the VW brand and enjoying my new ride!
So, HI EVERYONE! 
Cheers! |

I still haven't taken any photos (and won't until tint gets done) but here's a couple that were taken today by someone else...
Picked it up Friday afternoon at 4:30pm and took it for an *ahem* Sunday drive at MDTC (http://www.mdtc.com.au) last Sunday.
These are when I was giving people the R36 experience, needless to say there were a lot of people VERY impressed. This was a day put on by the ACT HSV
Club, of which I am a member. They could pull away on the straight but I caught and passed them in the twisties...
SUCH A BLOODY FANTASTIC CAR!!!
