Car in front deserved a pic

[Megaman]

Well on the way to work today I stumbled across a car with four exhausts that started to rev it whilst in the rush hour traffic. It made me laugh so much I had to take a pic and share it with you...

[Spad]

It's a F***ING PISSAT!!!!!!!!

[Megaman]

I wonder if the reg plate indicates a lot of turbo lag... W8 PWR = Wait PoWeR....

[RobinSherwood]

It's actually not that funny, it's a W8 Passat ie it is a Passat with a 4 litre 8 cylinder engine, the 'W' being because the cylinders are arranged in a W rather than a V configuration and it is from the same family of engines as the W12 in the Bentley Continental.

Power is moderate being 275bhp and 273lb ft but it is still no ordinary Passat and something of a Q car.

[CAVEMAN]

Ha ha....tw@t

Didn't think they had a turbo version of the W8 engine....which makes this even worse!

hats of to VW though...it is a very nice engine design, but really could do with more power out of essentially 2x 2l V4's welded together.

[WR1 Bro]

I've only seen one W8 before and it was the same blue colour. IIRC, they were very pricey for a VW.

[M9JOC]

did it sound Bentley-esk

I cant stand passats, sorry if anybody owns one i couldnt think of anything else i would want to drive less. even a W8

[John Mc]

Did you get to show it a clean pair of undies??

[Megaman]

At the time i saw it I thought it was a guy that had stuck a load of badges on the back of the car to tart it up a bit. You couldnt hear the tone as such even though it was a 4L car as robin says. It was a rush hour drive so nothing above 20mph really took place but I thought it was worthy of a pic as you dont see one everyday

the amount of cars in bradford like that is just stupidly ridiculous. i swear there is a Subaru that would make you want to sell yours. next time i see it on the road im pulling it over...
but just a quick run through.. its got flame decals ( not big one's ) its got bullethole decals ( yes thats right ) a clip on exhaust, more turbo badges than motorworld sell and im pretty sure he has something written on the back window with flowers..

he must be making his version of "the fast and the furious" called "the slow and the angry"

PS has your uncle still got his WR1 as he was talking about maybe selling it when we last met.

[WR1 Owner!]

yep he still has it.. loves it too much to sell it i think but not sure what he plans on doing.. never know.
not been on here for a while its got boring all of a sudden.. and i was lookin forward to a dales run

[Megaman]

If people want to do the Dales Run again we could have another go at getting one organised...?

[Thomo no 11]

[WR1 Owner!]
