Greetings
I'm new to here but not new to VW.
Well i've bought them built them modded them and drag raced them.
My Drag car was a 1969 GP mk1 Beach buggy with a modified 1835cc tuned to 110bhp at the wheels :cool: 15.03 standing 1/4 mile. and road legal too.
owned 7 old school beetles
Mk 1,3,6 Polos
Mk 1,2,3,4,5, golfs 7 in total including 8v 16v GTI, VR6 and V6 4motion :mad:
Jetta Mk 2
Bora V5
Passat mk 2,3 1.8t heavily modded and tuned.
Passat CC gt tdi on HR coils
2011 Phaeton 3.0tdi lovely car this but lost a shed load of money in when i sold it. And now
2011 Amarok trendline with loads of bits added.
I know im mad to sell a 22k miles mint Phaeton for an Amarok but thats how i roll.
On the modded van side ive owned and restored modded and converted a Splitty 1966 ex swiss army radio bus, 1972 bay window Devon camper, 80s T25 aircooled camper and built a heavily modified T4 camper with a fantastic paint job.
I run a VW club in the UK namely the Driftwood VW club and can be found most summer weekends at shows with a bottle of jack and a story to tell.
well that's me and its nice to meet you.
Projects on the go are mostly electrical mods to my newly purchased Amarok. This weekend is the reversing camera upgrade to my RNS315. any wiring info on the 1T0 980 551 camera would be a great help.
Cheers
