A tunnel race!
« on: 22 August 2010, 11:01 »
This was sent as a PM to me by Snoops and I've got his permission to post it on this forum.
It's about VWs driving through the 2km long, 75m deep tunnel in Istanbul under the Bosphorous. It's great fun to watch and hope it does not get locked out and moved, PLEASE. :smiley:

I don't know what the fasination with the narrow angle V6 sound is  :undecided:, i never found it pleasing myself, i would much rather have an alfa V6 as they sound like a V6 should.
I personally prefer a lad i knows Audi TTRS link or old Audi 5 pots to any V6 But thats just me, probably as i spent my pre teen youth in forests watching and listening to Audi rally cars.  :drool:

I agree completely about the Alfa V6. The Alfa Arese V6 was an absolute cracker and sounded fantastic. The new V6 fitted in the Brera and 159 is a GM unit and isn't a patch on the Arese unit

Can someone send the driver the code to turn his seatbelt chime off?

Calling it drivel is generous.

Will have to agree to disagree with both of you on this one. 5 pot audi??? :huh: Although the alfa v6 does sound great it doesnt come attached to a useable car, unlike the VW V6 :laugh: Not much in it I would say.. but for me the VW pips it :cool:
