Do you think this guy was told that?

If you're going to have a car like that, I'd want all the toys.. or at least as many as I could get.

No half measures..

Aren't Eicher Euro Car Parts own brand?

This is one of the reasons I got rid of my last PD130 and bought a FWD 180hp 1.8T instead, no less frugal on short runs but much more fun!

its almost like people are voting to force a draw on purpose regardless of their opinion of the car(s) in question

Almost like..

but not quite.

that picture highlights perfectly to me the corner cutting measures a once highly thought of manufacturer is taking to increase their margins That does look extremely shoddy, but you will find corner cutting like that on modern cars from all manufactures. Out of interest, was the other side the sam...

The thing is Rich, is that most new cars are shiit, it's just that some cars are less shiit than others. I'd put VW in the less shiit category. As I said earlier, as the good old cars fade away, at some point we will all be driving these sorts of new motors. Your choice is do you drive one now whil...

Oh absolutely not what you expect from a vw.. tbh the whole car came across like it had been done on the cheap.. the struts for the boot for example were like two big mandrel bent scaffold pipes sticking out of the mounts and nice plastic analogue clock in the middle of the dash..

For the last 8 years I would have said B5.5. I couldn't be doing with all that new fangled B6 malarky, but I also have a Mk6 Golf that is a very good car and makes the B5.5 feel very dated. Now (having bought one) I would say the B7 is the best Passat. Only time will tell if it turns out to be an e...

....don't ask

Just goes to show, Stevie Wonder could drop some acid and draw dot to dot backwards with some melted crayons and get cotm

Or... You could just have done with it and buy a facelift B5 A4 which is better in every way ever ever ever than a b5,b5.5, b6 and b7 combined

did I just type that! Whoops, must keep opinion to self!

Listen to Adam, he's a drilling demon

Heeeey buddy, yeah its been a while.. wasn't me at inters bn52 has had two owners since me, the most recent of whom has made a great job of ...

did you enjoy getting over that hump in the yard?

Nothing, I would sooner walk everywhere!


Jokes, probably a merc of some description

Nice condition car. Thats a serious amount of water in the plenum area. yeah its probably one of my better 'finds' having only 100k on it and has only done 3-5 k a year for the last 4 years, I know what you mean about the water..it was up above the strut mount bolt and both the drains were full of ...

Ok, so I know I technically shouldn't be posting here.. but the people on the Audi Sport forum don't seem to appreciate my unique sense of humor and I don't know anyone on there so I'm going stay with the people I know and bore you all to death with constant minute updates on my four ringer A4 :-@ A...

Where's the Gone'ed?

Saw your car earlier again mate, I assume it was your Mrs driving it? ........brave man
