Bloody Hell.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

WoW, as a VW driver, that thing is nutty.
Loved to have seen a vid of it really fucking tearing it up.

what do you think they'd try to sell that for if it ever went to market?
with those specs, it's definitely a high-end car, but it's still a vw.
it's quicker and has a higher top speed than the new Audi R8, which starts at like $120k...but it's still a vw.

That sounds amazing. I think the engine's derived from the w12 they had in the Phaeton which was essentially two vr6s (a great engine in it's own
right) sharing a crank- so a v configured engine with each side being a v engine itself, hence the "w". I can't imagine this will go into production,
but it's a pretty cool display of what they can do.

those rabbit trucks are dope. and that one look like it's in great shape.
a buddy of mine in the VWP (our crew back in the day) had one, but i didn't really fit in it very well!

It will never go into production. The last time VW tried to sell a really expensive car was the Phaton and that was a disaster for the company. There
is no way you could keep that car under 100k while rocking a Bentley engine.
All that aside what an amazing project and a pleasure to watch. Thanks for the link.

MY wifes second car was a omni. That thing had a ton of issues. Funny story. For my wifes 21st I took her out and we got hammered at WALLABI's
steakhouse, and TGI FRIDAYS for more drinks. We split a blooming onion and shark meat at W and then at TGIF we had a spinach artichoke dip app.
Combined that with a massive amount of alcohol it was a timebomb. This along with the fact the passanger window never rolled down was a recipe for
disaster. Driving home I am listening to h2o and thinking about all the sex we're going to have when we get there and silently she is puking between
the door and her seat. Suddenly I smell something more foul than wastewater plant. She looks at me and says "we need to get home asap and STOP
DRIVING CRAZY". I bust out laughing and have to roll the window down and hang my head out the window. It was sooo bad. That car sucked.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

crysler did a;
Shelby Lancer, Shelby Daytona, Shelby Charger, Shelby Dakota, and i think a Shelby GLH
all dont sell for super much, and all were very limited production
with the ford shelbys going higher and higher, i know these will bump in value very soon!
holy shit, read this;
'Standard features for the 1986 GLH-S included heavy duty, power brakes (10.2 inch disc up front, 8.0 x 1.28 drum rear); tinted glass; various trim
blackouts and stripes; Bosch road lights; cargo-bay carpet; five-speed manual transmission with heel-and-toe pedals; extra sound insulation; high-back
cloth seats; AM stereo/FM stereo; full instrument cluster; 14:1 rack and pinion power steering; air conditioning; rear defroster; and leather-wrapped
wheel and shifter. The suspension used stiffer front anti-sway bars and fully adjustable Koni iso-struts with coil springs that could be manually set
up for different conditions. The rear used the usual semi-independent trailing-arm suspension'
they were doing evo/subaru shit years before!
here's a lancer turbo on ebay. immacualte
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ite...
i would buy this i a heartbeat if it was closer.
