Cro Flower Power Lifetime Members 6,114 Member For: 21y 6m 9d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 30/09/06 08:43 AM Share Posted 30/09/06 08:43 AM 2 years, 94,000kms, sh*tloads of petrol, 5 sets of tyres, 4 buckled rims, hours detailing it, and hours of fun just driving for the hell of it It was the best car I've ever owned, and I hope that the new owner enjoys it as much as I did... Some of the most memorable mentions were the reduction in my lap times around Wakefield from 1.26 to 1.16, cruising 2500kms in a weekend including a return day trip to Melbourne. Cruising to Indy in 04, out to Mount Panorama just for the hell of it at midnight on a boring Saturday, cruising around the snowies twice. and the sh*tloads of fun twisty roads I have been on Today I finally made up my mind and put a deposit down on my next car...even though I know I'm going to cop a lot of sh*t from the usual suspects I'll tell everyone what it is...3.2 litre V6, All wheel drive, DSG 6 speed gearbox, Electric heated leather seats with memory, bi-xenon head lights, sat nav, 18" wheels with sports suspension.Volkswagen Passat...I'm going to miss the power of the XRT, and also the sports steering wheel, but I think the comfort and handling of the Passat will make up for it Performance figures are 0-100 in 6.9 and quarter mile in 15, so finally DBoss will be able to beat me I'll still be hanging around, and organising events. I'll just have to go shot gun with someone at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure it will be special in so many ways.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with the VW - good thing I reckon - and by my calculations it will only cost you about $10 to bring it up to the power of the T.Actually around Wakefield I reckon it will be in the 1:18s at a guess so not really much slower than the T.
