Jermy Clarkson once said every car enthusiast at one point in their life needs to own a 12 cylinder. This was a factor in me selling my V10 touareg for my W12. The power delivery in a 12 cylinder is special. A twin turbo 12 cylinder is even more special. ---

A friend of mine in Canada bought one and it was a NIGHTMARE with pricy maintenance - but such a cool car. If you’re going to buy one - this is the guy you buy it from that will have the knowhow to properly sort it out before you buy it from a standard private party. I dig it :tup: ---

Luckily, coils and plugs were done here about a year ago. That’s a big deal. All 4 MAP sensors replaced. ABC suspension works perfectly, but we’ll do a full 10L flush on it. Needs a passenger seat occupant detection pad, but I’ll end up putting a fooler in the harness, since there will never be a child seat in this car. Next up, flash, upgraded air/water cooler pump, and resonator delete. ---

So you’re going from trying to flip it for profit to trying to flip it over backwards on a launch? ---
