hey ho, today it was time for the re-test... and what should i say, i have to come again..... in two years ;D ;D ;D so tomorrow there will be new plates and a pink sticker on it : very happy now..... only one advisory, a small chip in the windscreen, you won't pass a test with a 20 year old car without any advisories, as it would spoil the statistics, but anyway, i am more than happy....

Put on the taillamps already? no, not yet, no time it sits still in the company, will be registered today, so tonight i will be driving it for the first time on the road.... and probably break down after 3 kms ;D But the detailer finished yesterday with polishing, it looks really stunning.... the previous owner received some pics fro the car by e-mail, i think he know knows that it was wrong to sell the car

finally, after a very ***** week, the project is finished... on the last day of a real horrible week Moritz, our cat was killed : now we really need to get away from here.... the first thing to do today was sorting out a couple of things, like the brazilian taillights : no need to say, that the qualtiy and especially the fitment of those is a nightmare, of course one now has a small crack in the lense then i was searching for power; it's only got 90 BHPs, but the engine is very torquey (combined with a very high ratio; 5th gear at 120 km/hs = 2800 revs), so the fuel consumption looks promising... as i can't drive faster than 120 when the missus is next to me and in norway only 80 anyway, the fuel won't be the biggest issue.... and after checking the timing of the ignition i found, that the throttle cable wasn't adjusted properly, 5mms were missing, so no full throttle..... that was fixed easily, and it runs really sweet now.... of course i put on polardegos dieallervaerste sticker on , too i still didn't understand exactly, what the allervaerste means, i don't hope something rude i think this is ok, compared to the start of the project : wanted to change the steering wheel, too, but didn't find a 24mm socket, so i'll leave it for the next time.... tomorrow we will be putting all the things we need in the car and leave to norway... hopefully everything will be ok, we'll make as much pics as possible, especially next weekend, when we visit the bugrun in Sweden

yeah, we are back from norway and i am very happy about this car.... we did almost 5.000 kms with this car and nothing broke, i didn't even have to refill engine oil... it only needed fuel, and not that much ( about 40mpg keeping to the scandinavian speed limits, 35 on Autobahn conditions).... this was at our wooden house in sweden : and this on the way home : whast else to do ? Change the steering wheel as soon as i find the 24mm socket and that's about it.... it'll be going over to RR09 definitely.... don't want to bore you with my holiday pics, i'll start a separate thread about the bugrun in Sweden though.....

Real deep sympathy about Moritz. I love cats (and other animals) and Nicola has 3, so I get the idea.
Great trip it seems.
Welcome home of course.

Really like the Passat just looks totally right (I don't always think that about cars on here). Sorry about your loss, we lost all three of our cats a couple of months back (2 on the same day) and I know exactly how much of an effect it has.

You can use the pitcures, no problem. Only cost 3 bokses of 5% fruit and the light swithed on in your livingroom at night when I visit you next time, in case of any ghost's should show up...

Shame about Moritz, sounds like a good time to get yourself a new cat! Glad to hear the Passat went well, England will be a doddle after that testdrive
