mattjex Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 Here are a few pics of my new car, what do you all think?? I love it, and never imagined I would be so happy with an oil burner! One of the whole of the side.... A rear/side shot... You can see we are still getting frosty mornings here! (and my wifes vectra (family bus)) a slightly blurry one of the inside.. I just bought it this week, it is only now 7 months old, can you believe the previous owner paid £825 extra for these wheels? I like them, but not sure I would have paid the premium.. with the 225/45/17 Bridgestone Potenza on the rear, and Pirelli PZero's on the front, the car has amazing grip and poise! I really love the 1/2 leather, 1/2 Alcantara.. It is so comfortable... Especially when it is cold as they are heated.. And here is what it is all about!!! Take care all, I am off for (another) drive!!!! Matt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s4dreamer Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Welcome to TyreSmoke mate, and welcome to the growing Oil Burners club! Like the look of your car - silver and that dark-ish blue are really good colours for it. I have practically the same engine in my A4, but have the advantage of 4wd too, which only adds to the grip.

danksy Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 Welcome aboard mate! How long before you chip the tractor? Its transformed the 150PD IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 I love that V6, had the please of driving one a while back, lovely car, I imagine a chipped one would have serious torque figues as the standard is pretty good. Blue - that looks like the in dash 6 cd changer liek the R32 and Golf Anniversary comes with, if it is then I was quite impressed with the one in the Golf.

TDI914 Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 The steering wheel is on the wrong side, dude! What is wrong with this picture? Did you post the image backwards? Oh well, I'll leave it at that. I bought the last year Passat TDI that we could get here in the States. I bought it new in 1997. We can only get the 1.8T or the V6 on this side of the pond. We can only hope. It amaizes people when I tell them that I get 49+ mpg (don't know what that is in liters and Kilos) and that is at 70-75 mph. The furthest miles that I got on a tank was 918 miles. I currently have 202,000 Miles on it. I would love to see the A4 Quattro or Passat 4 motion here in the States with a TDI in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danksy Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 918 miles! Crikey thats enough to drive from John O'groats to Lands End (I think) (Welcome mate!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munki Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 If that is the same engine that is put in a VW owned companies (same as Skoda Suberb 2.5TDi V6) it is amazing, I would never have believed that I would want a Skoda, but I'd have one of those. When I get back in my 1.8 Passat after being in that my car seems to lack guts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
