Nah mate, I was up there the other day at the library (don't tell anyone...haha).
I live on the south side, near Woden.

I think I spotted you. I was on a bike. You looked straight at me as I was looking at your car near the nursery. Probably paying your car a bit too much notice. Did you park right near the shop which used to be Allens?

[Tick]

Yep, parked pretty close to there, under a tree I think. If I remember correctly I was having a cruddy day and it probably showed on my face.

Hopefully if you see next time I will be having a better day and I will come across as someone you could pull up for a quick chat. Please do.

Cheers,

Hi guys,

I've spent the last few months on the Passat forum but my R36 dreams have been shattered.

I'm heading off tomorrow morning the test drive the 147 vRS wagon. I'm hoping it impresses me as I don't know where else to turn.
I've already dropped into Volkspower to see what performance mods they can provide and was pleasantly surprised.

Fingers crossed.

Something in the Superb range?

Love the car but still too exy. Even if I went with the 125TDI, once I start adding a few of the options it soon gets into the high 50's.

I'm happy to report that after driving the vRS this morning I'm a convert.
I was really impressed with the quality of the car and of course it goes like a rocket.
There are no vRS's in Oz with all the options I want so I'll be getting one of the facelift cars which I reckon look good (although many of you disagree).
The only option I'm not considering is the sunroof. It's so bloody small that it's pointless. May as well take that money and put it towards some decent 19" wheels.

Met with Volkspower yesterday (the owner has a 125TDI vRS) and they recommended some performance mods that I'll be getting done.
210kW & 400Nm here I come.
I may not be able to get an R36 but at least I'll be able to blow one away , and for 20 grand less.

even alfies?

even alfies?

I reckon so. If you look at the figures:

Alfies R36 - Around 240Kw and 380Nm with the ECU tune and exhaust according to Evolve-Technik. Weight = 1792kg

A vRS - Around 210kW and 405Nm with ECU tune and exhaust according to Volkspower. Weight = 1490kg

I reckon it'd be a good match up although the benefit of his 4motion system could play an important part.
Still the vRS would definitely take 99 out of 100 people off guard. It looks so unsuspecting
