2017 VW Alltrack - Nimble9's first Euro Car aka the DadWagon

I also have a Roav C1. I really like it.

 

hmmmmm these watkins glenn wheels look good...

 

Just saw a car that looked like yours at Knoebels. Lol!

 

I was in Pottstown at the Loe Show all day. Talk about VW overload it was amazing. So many sick builds!

 

Did you cry every time you saw a stanced car or any car with stretched tires?

 

There weren't too many of those, lots of well build cars and really rare cars too!

 

Here’s a bunch of cars I shot at the L’oe show in no particular order:

 

You know... you need to find a Trek edition Jetta... cause you like bikes. LOL!

 

Ooooh. This one rustles my jimmies

 

Now there's a color.

 

Man. Look at all those Harlequins.

 

Yeah me too. I talked to the guy that designed it (choose the mods) and he's a marketing guy for VW who was really cool.

Yeah like 10% of the known Harlequins were there!

There were even some Polo Harlekins? (sp?) like the Euro version. I think that's what they're called

 

Oooo, I think I've met the VW marketing guy a few times. Older German gentleman? Rolfe or Roland maybe? He was always bringing around some cool cars that weren't available here. He took me for a spin in a Scirocco and Golf 4 Motion.

Polo is correct. Not sure on their spelling of Harlequin. I've always like the Polo. I wanted a Polo WRC when they came out. Closest I got was the steering wheel in my GTI.

 

Def an older guy but not old old, like 50s at most. And that's awesome!

 

Could be the same dude. Always looked for him anytime a gathering was VW-sanctioned. Real easy to talk to and a wealth of information. I always liked how VW supported their enthusiast scene. Everytime I come back to this thread I want another VW. Probably a good plan for me to wait until my wife's Passat dies. Two VWs is too many VWs when you maintain them!

 

Yeah it's pretty cool that they care about the end consumer and the "scene"

I really love how big the aftermarket support is for the Mk7's because essentially anything for them or GTI's work for my car. These cars are like Legos!

 

Yup. All kinds of parts sharing going on. My GTi had coil packs off the R8 even!

You're lucky in that your motor responds like crazy to tuning. The HP they get out of them is insane. To get that out of the old 2.0t I had to spend a ton of money.

Also AP Tuning is literally down the road from me. My friend is neighbors with the owner. Gonna be hard not to get a tune on this thing lol

 

You should just cave in. Especially with that price.

 

Yeah but then you a TCU tune goes with it and boom that's $1200 I could use elsewhere.

Maybe after the winter lol
