Largest VW car show in the West...

[[XR]1.8T]

New Dimensions had their charity show last weekend. I went last year but unfortunately I didn't get to go this year. It is held at Moffet field in Mountain View, California every year.

This Jetta Wagon is absolutely sick!

I think I'll just be happy with a more conservative Phaeton W12..

See the km77.com site and look for the Phaeton.. They have excellent pics of it..

And, is it true that the Phaeton can do 290km/hr? The speedometer shows 320km/hr, I know that..

Why stop with the Phaeton W12 (http://www.vwvortex.com/news/03_02/03_04/index.shtml)

When you can have the W12 Concept (http://www.vwvortex.com/news/10_01/10_25/index.shtml)

I like this one :D
I heard there was also a 1.8t Scirocco that was "normal" looking no bodykit just euro stuff on it

Ryan, 1.8T, I agree! That jetta wagon is a beauty. The owner has his wheel arches filled perfectly, good ride height-wheel size-tire aspect ratio combination. Though, from his front brake disc wear marks, it appears he's wasting a good deal of surface area and losing some stopping power.

Gooo the Shaggin' Wagon ... Wagon's are great, because they are fishbowls. I love my camira wagon, she has saved my life so many times, certainly due to increased visibility, definitely not due to enviable road holding characteristics, brakes, power or safety features...Wow, that Jetta is one hell of a machine, gimme gimme gimme!!! Power, road holding and visibilty!!! ^_^

Chey: I can't see the marks on the front discs. Do I need to further increase my resolution and colour depth?

Hrmm, at least they aren't drum brakes.

I like VeeDubs. Car shows are great too. But there is this old nagging saying... "If it don't go, chrome it! If ya can't afford chrome, slap some paint on it."

BTW, if you want to reduce brake wear, just don't use them. :)

Take care and say your prayers,

I hear that VW will not be building the W12 "Nardo" supercar now. A shame..

[Domagoj]

Yeah that concept's one of the nicest, original looking cars I've seen in a while (does look a tiny bit reminiscent of that Audi-supercar, but this one's better looking)...maybe they'll change their mind? Any clue why they decided not to release it? Too expensive to make, and no-one will pay that much? Oh well...it's a beaut...

:wave: Hi Chey;

I'm gonna assume you're being facetious about the cross-drilled rotars?

Hey that "jetta wagon" looks like an Australian Passat wagon for some reason it doesn't resmeble the currunt Bora/jetta or the previous one either. But hte VW W12 cars will be good when they come out the pheaton being a Mecades S class and BMW 7 seires rival and audi A8 also.

HAHAHA, you guys and your super cars... Here is me, stuck with my "Almost" antique VW Golf GTi. Somewhere I have a pic, perhaps I will add it at some point... as long as I don't get laughed at to much :) Hehehe, My car is 11 years old and I have had it since new... But not being a rich man, Chances of me getting a "Cool" car in the next 20 years is remote :)
