Hah, you think that shit's scary have a peek at this
shot.
I hauled that bloated pig over 200 miles last
weekend..... in unrelated news the tranny in my 8V scirocco decided to make
lunch of both the 4th and 5th gear synchro's.
It's all worth it though, picked that beast up for 800
bucks, vr6, 5sp, black leather, all the good shit.

Whoo, don't want to repeat that again, anything over 70Km/hr and it got
scary fast. The cop who pulled us over didn't have very many kind words
either...
cheers,
