BTW love your write up. I have other cars, but been very taken by the w8 and its refinement and power delivery, plus the comfort. A manual conversion maybe? And whether you like an underdog, or a q car, or just the technicals behind it and the w8 / 12 / 16 story is i guess what defines us. I suspect I may be making a museum of 'dont know and dont care cars, rather than 'i had one of those

Hello Kees I have for my sins a Black Passat W8 auto (save them all!!) so would be keen to keep in touch. Currently in Christchurch so may require some clever freight ideas. MIne is the equivalent of a rescue pet, and most people are very uninterested to help with cam variator / shaky idle etc and slipping lock up torque converter so if anyone wants to chime in please do. It is a genuine one owner from the time imported till me (the car dealer kept for himself at 3 years old and 40k so would have been quite unique, then passed it on to a fried, 91k and very tidy so would like to bankrupt myself to save one from being lost forever.
