From supercharged Corrado to Tdi Estate.

A few months ago I bought JimG60

however due to a new job I very very reluctantly had to sell the rado and buy something more fuel efficent and with 4doors. Was gutted when the car went it was such a beauty....and to be honest the idea of getting a 4door diesel was slightly depressing however after visiting inters i was inspired and after some hard searching around the various forums/trader/ebay I managed to find this immaculate colour codded de-badged Passat Estate 1.9TDI from Wigan, FVWSH and 55mpg...what more can i say?? :D

Nice one - where is Jim's G60 now then????

nice one... did it come with the rims?? do like them..

[Jim 2]

Passat does look very nice indeed! They do look very very Audi'esque with a few subtle changes!

 

Am curious to know where my old G60 went though - was hoping the new owner would show their face on here! :(

The new owner was from middlesborough and a real enthusiast. He came with his dad who was currently working on a MK2 1.8T project and recently completed a MK2 VR6 conversion.

 

I told him all about the forum when he took the car and even gave him the web address...looks like he gone AWOL??

 

The wheels came with the car 18" RS4's

Hey Jim I see you got yourself a GTTDi....excellent choice and in the best colour!!

 

My mate has one of these too in silver....they are really nice and pull really well too. You got any mods planned for the future??
