[Mile High VX]

What year diesel Rabbit did you have?

[VXjunky]

all the cars i listed, i currently own. The rabbit P-U, was always the gas model (1.6)...it was converted last year with a 1988 (1.9,fuel injected) jetta with 5 speed...although some 81's came with the 5 speed this one originally had a four speed....i love it...peppy little bugger..... the real mind blower is to be the samurai which is scheduled for the 1.9 vw turbo diesel conversion..when the well running 1.3 suzuki dies

1990 chevy truck with a 355 posi 343gear and it is just a work truck and a 1972 Amen Savior Honda chopper considered a colectable like our VX's

2005 Chrysler Crossfire SRT 6

1964 Triumph TR 4 with a 340hp 5.0 Ford.

Those are some GREAT cars, I strongly considered a Crossfire a few years ago but ended up buying a G35 coupe. A heavy factor in that decision was that I didn't want to settle for anything besides the SRT6, but it was MUCHO dinero considering my pay at the time.

And nice photochop too btw.

Thanks, but you probably made a more practical choice. Yeah, I had to laugh at some of the guys on the Crossfire forum for giving me a hard time for wanting a standard tranny instead of the only available automatic for the SRT6. I've always had an issue with automatics in a sports car, so I thought Rat Fink shifting my SRT was appropriate....

diggin the tr4....

Yeah, I can't wait for top down weather. It's been up on blocks while I replaced the clutch slave cylinder. Bit of a chore as it is on the input shaft of the transmission.

Well, I have never actually driven a Boxster, but I did take a "test ride" in one. I admit, the shifting seemed pretty spirited. I could make an exception for that one, I think. The real performance cars probably have done a decent job designing an automatic transmission. And even I will admit there are days in freeway traffic when that shifting gets old. But I also tried to get the hang of manually shifting the Pacifica that the hubby had as a company car. Ugh. Especially up and down mountain roads. I swear you could make a sandwich between the time you shifted and the time it actually changed gears.

We had the paddle shifters in hubby's BMW M3..."spirited" shifting/driving is an understatement... .....
I had an Audi S4 6 spd, twin turbo....Dave still beat me..he had more horses and those wicked quick paddle shifts .....man those were some fun rides!
