Who wishes they were a Kiwi here?

Most Kiwis would be 'here' at some point, as well as returning across the dutch sometimes.
Fair comment?
I can categorically declare that I love some of the world-class drives (and relatively low level of highway patrol revenue raising) in Unzid.
NZ's a great place to visit. It seems most Kiwis of note make their fortunes in other countries, then choose whether or not to enjoy their retirement there full-time or part-time.
Most inwardly hilarious moment on a recent NZ holiday: the north-island (Napier) receptionist making fun of my Aussie accent!

So they have the R... AND the new Polo... AND the Scirocco...
Nice work NZ.
Nice work NZ.
If they get the Scirocco R could be worth moving there for a year and bringing one back (if it works out, not sure on the rules now). The uniqueness would be worth it if we never get it here. Bit hard to understand.
Johno I wouldnt mind a Blue 3dr as well, not quite as nice as DBP but still love it. Would be a hard choice getting it or CW. Don't see any mention of 6MT, just auto haha.

Certainly removes any excuses VW Aus could use, other than: we have decided not to/don't want to bring them out in australia yet.

the R doesnt even come standard with leather!!!
$57k AUD converted at today's rates. But that probably only gives an indication of the price for over here, if it arrives.
As BY noted leather seats is not standard! WTF! Also as there are no leather seats as standard will that mean they are going to charge for heated front seats now as an option?
Went to look at an S3 on the weekend and noticed you have to pay for them at Audi as well.

I got a quote from barlowworld for a CW, 3DR, DSG, NAV, 19inch, RECARO and reversing camera.:thumbsup:
They quoted me with a $2500.00 discount $75,000 on the road.:eyebulge:
That's $15,000 more than i payed for my 5DR R32 fully loaded. :thumbdown:
They build a cheaper car than charge $15,000 more for it... Smart
The only way i would get one would to do a full R36 engine conversion on it,
build the car volkwagen should have..:thumbsup:
Oh and i could never be a kiwi!! I am not that into sheep..:lol:
