sounds like a good deal; especially with the fitting of the steering wheel etc.

Looking forward to seeing pics of the Passat - if it is anything like the one in your sig then I am sure it will be a fine looking motor.
I know that someday I will have to do something similar but hopefully not too soon :tongue:

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
bye-bye, GTI!!! :cry:

Post some pics Phil. I know that you busy with the new house but.............. :wink:

will do tagnut, have been snowed under with house move, will post some in a few days. You have my word :wink:
-
Congratulations on the house move Phil - and the new car. I'm not sure if you'ill enjoy it as much as the GTI, but hey, its not as if you'ill never own a GTI again in the future - you never know. :wink: By the way, just thought I'd warn you that local law enforcement on this forum might shop you in for illegally using someone else's wireless network. or they might just give you a 3rd degree lecture on morals and how saintly the police are - no names mentioned :rolleyes:
-
Was down at the dealers last week and they had a Passat Estate in the showroom :cool: Looked good, but was a manual :sad:
Congrats on the car/move and hope to see those pics soon. :wink:

Quality looking motor though I do like the colour and the roof rails really finish it off :smiley:

Dead Bodies, a lounge suite, 3 kiddies...
I think we should start another: "What do you keep in your boot for emergancies" thread just for Phil.
:wink:

I must say I like what they have done with the centre console.. stighly smarter than the golf. Could this be what the mkvi is going to be like inside??

My wife says the car is perfect for trips to "mecca" as she calls it (ikea in other words), and must say getting flatpacks in the back of it isnt a problem!!. we bought 3 6ft units wednesday at ikea and all went in no probs.And if you a 6ft'er like me, then with the seats down and tints its great for seeing those stars at night! :wink:, but yet to try that one! :laugh:
