My New Ride

[TheGrove]

After loosing my 2004 last week I picked up a new 2012 from Chris @ Langhorne today. Here are a couple of pictures.

Congratulations on your new Passat!

Great looking color combo. I have had mine to a few days and 700 miles and it is great. Enjoy you new ride.

Looks good, congrats.

Great looking color combo.

I agree.
What did it cost to have the shirt specifically dyed to match the car?

Bill, nice color and wheels.

If I wasn't so much *in love* with my B5.5, I'd try to sell it (or park it at the Holiday Inn in Zapata, TX with the keys in it) and get me one of those new fangled Passts!

 

[TheGrove]

Thanks all!

Lug_Nut, that's great - I honestly hadn't realized that I wore the matching shirt!

Looks good, Bill. Awesome color, too!

Very nice. The new Passat design is really growing on me fast. Most VW designs take a bit of time to grow on me. They get better with age, like a fine wine. They know what they're doing.

I will buy your 05.5

 

[BRUSSELS BELGIAN]

Hmmm.

I will buy your 05.5

Actually, since I own the finest B4 and B5 in the Club, I need to get a new Passat to go with them and SWEEP the show and shine in Michigan next year!

I hope we all will see Bill & the Passat at Impex 2012.

Really a nice set of wheels.

First dibs on the Benz..

Well, can't blame a guy for trying...

I'm going to try. If not it will be at the Fest in MI.

Nice car! Congrats on actually being able to get your mitts on a Passat TDI,especially that color-did Chris have to pull strings to get it,or did you luck out and was on lot? That is a very nice color-they have a gasser Passat in that color in showroom at Dorschel-looks even better in person.Too bad they couldn't put it on a Jetta....

 

[tomo366]

He lucked into it

 

[TheGrove]

Very much lucked into it. I totaled my '04 Passat TDI and started looking and this one was the only one on a lot near where I was. I would have called Chris to see what he could find if he hadn't already had this one.

What did you say about sweeping the show and shine in Mich?
