I would also love to own a V10 TDi Pheaton, just for 1 year, same reason as previously stated, been there done that

And just to find out if the engine really is as good as is rumoured.

Think I would give it a go too

That would sort your problem of another year till the new Fabia vrs comes out

We'd still let you organise the maidstone meet. aslong as you let us have a ride in it:D

Nice soundtrack near the end of the clip :drool:

Not bad for a stinking, slow old oil burner

, but for £16k you can get the 6.0 W12

Wish I knew where you saw this. Cheapest one Ive seen was just over 40k, though it was an 07 plate....

Just need to keep an eye out mate - they are rare as rocking horse poo.

Theres one for £29k on the trader at the moment, but that looks expensive imho.

Ah, the private seller. I'd expect around 21k. That car has been on a while.

I've cetainly gt my eye on a V8, or a W12 in about 18 months time. LPG it, and float to work...

But it is price dependent.....

:( need an estate so will need to wait for superb estate.

You can hear his crap music perfectly :P

Funnily enough, Clarkson was testing one of these on a repeat of Top Gear last night on "Dave".

Never seen one reviewed till then, cracking car for the money.

Would definately love a V10 Tdi.

I would've tried a damn sight harder than just boiling a kettle with her in the back !

they are good cars,

as long as you dont have to work on them :P

lucky enough to have been out and worked on a w12 phaeton and many v10 tdi touareg an dont forget the v8 petrol touareg that sounds great, only ever seen 1 w12 and the 1 v8 touareg, the acceleration was so boring you dont even feel like your moving lol, speedo goes up as quick as a rev counter though

they are good cars, as long as you dont have to work on them :P

Ahh they aint that bad, at least it all drops out

One of the convienance rewires for the boot lid, now theres fun. Still least its a nice comfy boot to hide in for a good few hours.

ive lost count how many flaming transfer boxes and water pumps ive done on these babys, touregs that is, phaetons are a tad bit tighter on the way out thats one thing i dont miss lol and i just loved working through the recall sheet on the phaeton haha

Was chatting about this thread (to apinner and auran I think) at the recent Malt House meet and I promised to put up a link to the Phaeton factory, so here it is....

Think I've seen those pics before, but it's still staggering looking through them again :eek:

Hmm, never seen that thread before, very good.

I suspect there's not much difference in fuel consumption between the Ferrari & the V10 diesel Phaeton at those speeds, as the VW weighs an extra tonne :eek:
